Upon receiving it, I loved the cover with all the vibrancy of colors and pictures amazing foods bunched up in a big pile! Whole foods, equals a good plan in my mind!
However, I was disappointed that the book was pretty much a late-night infomercial for all the supplements she sells to reach your "healthy, vibrant, thriving state". Upon checking her website for the packages she offered I could quickly see a person could literally spend hundreds of dollars on a regular basis buying all the supplements that she says will help. But wait, I thought I saw fruits and veggies, seeds and nuts on the cover. The cover should have been a bunch of bottles of pills and an empty wallet.
The book was quite informative and although scientific, fairly easy to understand with in depth explanations as to the hows and whys. But to actually implement it and maintain that lifestyle is a pretty far fetch. Maybe because I'm not that much into indian food, but a lot of the recipes called for curry and the tea that a person is supposed to drink nightly was pretty gross...well, lets just say its an acquired taste. One which I never acquired.
The book could have used more recipes as well, it kinda leaves you on your own. With three meals a day and three snacks, thats 42 eating events per week. Too much time and effort for the average person in my mind, and not enough recipe support.
I think this info and better can be gleaned from a study of the internet. I think also, just cutting down on sugar and junk food would go a long way towards helping a person's metabolism. I speak from experience.
I received this book from Blogging for books in exchange for my honest review.
