Easy to read and makes sense

I loved this book, infact I have read all of Marilu's books and enjoyed all of them. After reading it, my family adopted a vegitarian lifestyle for several years. We have recently begun to eat more meat but only organic meat. And we rarely eat dairy products. The information in the book is easy to understand and makes sense to a lay-person. It also give many practical ideas for how to change the way you eat. I have tried every recipe in the book and several are among my families all time favorites.

Great Book that makes sense

I really enjoyed her book and it does prefer a meat free life style which I believe is a must. She gives many good advices and the book is easy to read.

one star for this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please read!!!!

I first read this book a few months ago and gave it a good review. According to Amazon rules I can only give one review per item so I had to edit my old review. I originally gave this book 4 stars bit now I give it 1!!!! Heres my story. First of all, let me just say that I was pretty ok to begin with. The only reason I read this book was to see if it could help with my energy level, and it did- somewhat. I also lost a few pounds, but that was definately due to giving up dairy.
That was the only good thing to come out of this book. I dont want to blame what happened to me comeplety on Marilu, but lets just say that I never had any health problems before this book. It was only after I began following this program that I began to feel ill.

One of the 10 things Marilu wants you to do is to stop drinking when you eat. No liquids are allowed when you eat. Ideally, you should wait 1 hour after eating to drink any water. I have to say that, originally, this made me become more regular. But now, I have G.E.R.D. (look it up if you dont know what it is.) Its like Acid reflux without the burn. A few times a week I have this sensation of throwing up. I feel like I have something stuck in my throat that I cant get rid of. I came to find out that its a back up of acid from my stomach. As I said before, I cannot blame this on Marilu. But I guarentee you that I never had this problem before I read this book!!

I didnt try all of her steps. I wanted to incorporate them one-by-one, but now, I give up. I will continue to go dairy free though. I have even begun considering going vegan.

I'm in the first stages of GERD so I dont know what cures or what relief there is, but I urge everyone considering to buy this book to monitor their health throughout each step.

Good luck!!!
