I'm writing this review, but I do so as the purchaser and fiance of the person who's read through it cover to cover multiple times, and changed our diet as a result.
Background: we're both healthy, athletic, low sugar, nearly zero synthetic anythings in our diet. Paleo based diet for ~10 yrs for me, history of celiac in my family. History of severe celiac in her family, and she's had her thyroid removed with radiation. It was when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis that we started to seek out anything we could to delay it's onset... and I know this sounds like some tinfoil hat hug a tree BS, but after about 8 weeks on the diet we've shaped as a result of this book, her last *2* bloodworks came back as inconclusive on one, and negative on another for RA. Her normally wish/wash complexion is arguably better than mine (and mine is fine) and her energy levels have leaped.
It'd be one thing to say we "feel" this or that. But I'm telling you I dont feel anything. I'm observing it, and her bloodwork is proving it.
As far as night time reading, lord no. You have to be an MD or very very interested in health to read this thing. It strikes me as something you'd see a pre-med student reading. But, get through it, and the results are working for my future wife. We couldnt be happier.
Regarding the resulting diet in the end: its not bad. It's restrictive, and a huge PITA if you travel, but not bad. I tell people if you didnt have expendable income, it'd be pretty tough, as your resulting diet would be kind of what I ate in college: chicken and frozen veggies. If you do, though, the dinners you can come up with are still great. We have guests and serve meals that are compliant with this book, and nobody's ever commented on it. No "oh well its not bad for _____ free food" or disclaimers. Coconut based deserts, good meats, good veggies. Life is good!
