Read for book club。

This book is a follow up to a first book， The Plant Paradox。 This book discusses the many benefits of reducing animal protein consumption and increasing plant based foods。 The author explains this book has less scientific explanations than the first。 Unlike other sources， this author says that some vegetables， most grains， and most fruits have too much lectin， which causes many of today’s illnesses and digestive issues。 The author is a heart doctor who has seen the link between what he eats and This book is a follow up to a first book， The Plant Paradox。 This book discusses the many benefits of reducing animal protein consumption and increasing plant based foods。 The author explains this book has less scientific explanations than the first。 Unlike other sources， this author says that some vegetables， most grains， and most fruits have too much lectin， which causes many of today’s illnesses and digestive issues。 The author is a heart doctor who has seen the link between what he eats and his own health， having eaten in the way he outlines in the book for the last seventeen years。 My take away is the importance of moderation in all things。 Each chapter has a clear and definite purpose。 My two favorite chapters were the last two。 Chapter seven offers weekly meal plans， which do seem quite complicated for me， but were interesting to read。 Chapter eight includes seventy pages of recipes。 I plan to write a few of these recipes down， and then return this book to the neighborhood book house where I found it。 I am glad I read it， and hope the next person who reads it enjoys and learns， too。 。。。more

I must admit to being skeptical， but I am a jaded skeptic anyway。 Lots of information and dietary ideas， I have been experimenting with some and I must admit to feeling better， I want to study more and add it to my lifestyle。 This is a much cut down version of The Plant Paradox， which is very technical。 This is a good intro。 check it out。

What I got from it: 1。 Main idea: lectin-containing foods are bad for the gut。 2。 Animals are often given antibiotics prophylactically because of the crowded conditions they are raised in。 When we eat those animals it is similar to us taking in a small dose of those antibiotics。 This subsequently can effect our gut microbiome （types of bacteria）。 For this reason look for meats that are raised without antibiotics and ideally raised in a pasture/grassfed。 3。 Fruit might as well be candy， it is sti What I got from it: 1。 Main idea: lectin-containing foods are bad for the gut。 2。 Animals are often given antibiotics prophylactically because of the crowded conditions they are raised in。 When we eat those animals it is similar to us taking in a small dose of those antibiotics。 This subsequently can effect our gut microbiome （types of bacteria）。 For this reason look for meats that are raised without antibiotics and ideally raised in a pasture/grassfed。 3。 Fruit might as well be candy， it is still high in sugar。 4。 Recommends intermittent fasting （ie feed during 8h window， or more extreme during a 2h window in winter）。 MCT oil is useful during fast。 5。 Food processors can help save time when meal prepping。 6。 To supplement fasting/keto program and to prevent muscle cramps can take electrolyte packets。 7。 To help with sleep recommends adding blue light-blocking shades to glasses。 Review: Diet isn't impossible to follow but is expensive， as many non-lectin containing foods/meats can only be found at whole foods。 Unsure if clear benefit， but skin does seem to be improved with cutting out sugar。 Tried intermittent fasting for 18h and ended up spending lots of time thinking about food/when to eat （as was very hungry）。 There is also some controversy regarding the accuracy of the material presented in the book。 。。。more

Ugh ！！Torture。 Not torture reading it because it was badly written or too scientific like a textbook， but torture because the diet was as appealing as having pins tuck into my eyeballs。Very limited eating plan and totally joyless for vegans as all the main staples of vegan eating are abolished。 （ whole grains， oatmeal， popcorn， tofu， fruit， bread， cashews， pumpkin seeds， tomatoes， peppers， potatoes。。。）For love or money I would not even try this。

Quick guide。 Excited about the 30 day plan。 Lectin free eating has been changing me， so anything I can get to help with that， yes please！ This is a nice starter， but I'd recommend starting with the full book。 Quick guide。 Excited about the 30 day plan。 Lectin free eating has been changing me， so anything I can get to help with that， yes please！ This is a nice starter， but I'd recommend starting with the full book。 。。。more

Not sure how to rate and review this one。 On one hand， it is well-written and easy to follow。 On the other hand， I don't believe one diet is good for everyone。 This is quite a restrictive way of eating， and not one I could personally do long term unless very unwell to begin with。 I'm feeling 4/5 at the moment， which is very good for me， so I won't be following this now - but will keep it in mind for both hubby and myself should there be a chronic condition blow up， to reassess。 Loads of recipes Not sure how to rate and review this one。 On one hand， it is well-written and easy to follow。 On the other hand， I don't believe one diet is good for everyone。 This is quite a restrictive way of eating， and not one I could personally do long term unless very unwell to begin with。 I'm feeling 4/5 at the moment， which is very good for me， so I won't be following this now - but will keep it in mind for both hubby and myself should there be a chronic condition blow up， to reassess。 Loads of recipes and easy to follow suggestions - although many of the tips involve US brands （I'm in Australia）。 。。。more

I discovered some helpful information about my food sensitivities from this book， but the science isn’t there on this one。

Ed Barton ，

Summary ReadA summary of the author’s larger work， with some basic recipes， shopping lists， a 30 day plan and more。 The science of eliminating lectins in the diet is touched on。 Similar to many books of this genre， the recipes and daily menus take up about half。。。or more。。。of the book。 It will get you headed the right direction。

Chris ，

Worth reading for the lectin discussion alone。

Verna J。 ，

It would be a difficult diet plan to follow。

Alexandra ，

Well I learned about lectin but seriously wonder what people who follow this diet eat。。。oh right， supplements。 Yum。。。。。。。

Tanya Crompton ，

This was not the most entertaining readVery similar to many books of this genre and the opinion of another researcherDescribes foods for health and well-beingSo many written and making decisions challenging but ideally most seem to talk about keeping it simple and with minimal processing

Much easier to digest than the full plant paradox book。 Good summary。 More practical application。 Great recipient

Very practical and easy to follow program。

I've waited to review this book， because I wanted to do the 30-day plan first。 I have been dealing with painful arthritis， which is one of the "ailments" this book addresses。 I have to say that by the end of the first week， I could tell a big difference， and not just with a drastic reduction in pain。 Is it easy？ No。 Is it worth it？ Yes。 Now I know what foods to eat and what foods to avoid。 Will I be "religious" about it？ Probably not。 （I don't want to be one of those people that rehearses all th I've waited to review this book， because I wanted to do the 30-day plan first。 I have been dealing with painful arthritis， which is one of the "ailments" this book addresses。 I have to say that by the end of the first week， I could tell a big difference， and not just with a drastic reduction in pain。 Is it easy？ No。 Is it worth it？ Yes。 Now I know what foods to eat and what foods to avoid。 Will I be "religious" about it？ Probably not。 （I don't want to be one of those people that rehearses all the things she can't have and make others miserable。） I will give in to temptation （and probably pay the price！） now and then！ 。。。more

Very intriguing book。 Does seem to make a lot of sense， but he is not as direct as you'd hope he would be with the instruction part。 He certainly explains the science and tries to explain his knowledge。 Very intriguing book。 Does seem to make a lot of sense， but he is not as direct as you'd hope he would be with the instruction part。 He certainly explains the science and tries to explain his knowledge。 。。。more

A practice book of Plant Paradox， good design， somehow product names are irritating。。

Very good book to read on improving your health。 It has corrected my ailments。

The jury is out on lectins in food， because while Gunry says they are truly dangerous， a large number of the medical community think that the Plant Paradox diet is too restrictive。 I'll pick and choose， myself--I'm not convinced that certain nightshades like tomatoes are bad when cooked。 In any case， eating tons of vegetables isn't a horrible thing， and it's nice to hear that avocados are amazing。 The jury is out on lectins in food， because while Gunry says they are truly dangerous， a large number of the medical community think that the Plant Paradox diet is too restrictive。 I'll pick and choose， myself--I'm not convinced that certain nightshades like tomatoes are bad when cooked。 In any case， eating tons of vegetables isn't a horrible thing， and it's nice to hear that avocados are amazing。 。。。more

I’ve read a ton of diet and food health books。 I appreciate how they have all generally agreed on most of the points。 This book pulled a lot of the thoughts from the other books I’ve read and compiled them into an easy to read guide for success。 I think if someone is looking and ready to learn about how to become healthy， they should read this book。

Adrienna ，

More of the same in his other books， but thought it'll be good recipes for 30 days to try the phases。 However， most of them don't sound good and only two will try。 The green smoothie didn't work for me， yuck。 His other one is good with avocado， romaine， lemon， stevia with water and ice。。。 not in this book though。 One dessert might be worth trying， and almond joy。 Green egg are the only things I'll try。 His plant paradox cookbook had some i tried， which were surprisingly good but cannot make that More of the same in his other books， but thought it'll be good recipes for 30 days to try the phases。 However， most of them don't sound good and only two will try。 The green smoothie didn't work for me， yuck。 His other one is good with avocado， romaine， lemon， stevia with water and ice。。。 not in this book though。 One dessert might be worth trying， and almond joy。 Green egg are the only things I'll try。 His plant paradox cookbook had some i tried， which were surprisingly good but cannot make that cauliflower fritters which looks great in book。 Ugh。This book says one week vs。3 days for phase 1 mentioned in the cookbook。 3 days is doable not a week to me。 I'll see。 Own a copy。 。。。more

Susan Quenneville ，

Interesting point of view。 I took a few hints and left others。

Susan Leutheuser ，

Whether or not you are ready to jump right in and begin a new way of eating after reading this book， it contains concise， clear research and information。 I was surprised at how many “healthy” foods actually cause problems in our bodies and overall health。 Knowing what to avoid is valuable。 There are also some recipes that promote health benefits that I would like to try。 You can still use this book even if the time is not right to go into the challenge completely。 I highly recommend this book。
