5.0 out of 5 stars The best health information you'd be blessed to get your hands on....., April 2, 2008

I've had the audacity to call the author for information, and I am even more impressed with how much of her knowledge she cares to share (even more than what the book has). She is a person who truly cares about communicating health in the way she answers questions and shares her own healing stories. Oh, and her organic sprouted flour is the very best (and most delicious) there is!!! It makes my recipes absolutely delectable. I order it at www.creatingheaven.net. (Whoever heard of cookies, cakes and bread that are actually healthy for you)? I'm a customer for life. Thanks Shelly.

Excellent resource and cookbook outlining the major food groups and supplements to aid in the best digestion possible - a major contributor to health afflictions if not balanced!! Truly a good reference book if trying to lose weight, change bad dietary habits or even improve skin's appearance - truly a miracle! I lost 5 pounds the first week! Recommended for all who are still eating meat and potatoes, hamburgers, greasy foods, and fast foods -- and not feeling and looking your absolute best - time to make a change!!

Even though I've tried in the past to limit grains, I always found it hard to give them up in a realistic way. Shelly's diet does restrict all regular grains except corn and sprouted grains because these grains are easier to digest. Your body reads them as fruits instead of grains. The enzymes in sprouted grains help you digest them much more easily. I find this diet much more reasonable and easier to stay on than the caveman diet because you still can have dairy, sprouted grains and corn. Like the caveman diet, sugar is restricted, but occasional maple syrup sweetner is allowed. I usually just use stevia plus.

At 70 pounds overweight, I had given up thinking that I could lose weight and keep it off. I have lost 12.5 pounds in 5 weeks now. I can stay on this diet easily. I now know that I will be at a normal weight for the rest of my life. My chemical sensitivities have started to subside and I have lost all strong food cravings which have plagued me all my life. You don't have to give up all grains and dairy to achieve loss of food addiction cravings.

I think that some day Shelly's "essential eating" diet will be the most successful, long-term weight-loss plan out there.
