It has given me hope!!!

I think this book is wonderful!! My husband is permanently disabled due to multiple back problems and so obviously, he has a lot of inflammation. Originally, he didn't want to change his eating habits, specifically because we weren't convinced it would help him. But he tried this diet for about a week and did see some lessening of pain, although very minimal. It was so slight we couldn't really attribute it to anything. So we were still doubters.

But after that week, my husband binged on the foods this book says to stay away from. Within a few hours, his back went out. Seized up and he was stuck on the floor in horrible pain for days. Now both he and I are convinced that what we eat definitely affects inflammation. Since reading this book, we've also looked back into the past. We knew that my husband's back went out every year around Christmas, and this book helped us put 2 and 2 together--it's because our diets are terrible around Christmas! Every year we eat all those sweets and everything else Jessica says increases inflammation.

Since my husband has been faithful to this diet for a couple months his back has been healing from 'going out' faster than normal. He still has back problems and is in constant pain--and that will most likely never change. But hopefully with this diet, we'll be able to decrease some of his inflammation, and therefore, pain. We've already seen benefits and hopefully we'll continue to experience more! Thank you for writing this Jessica Black!!!

PS--We also really like a lot of these recipes. So far, we've enjoyed every one we've made! And that's really impressive, considering my husband loves sugar, fried foods and all the stuff that's definitely not healthy. Jessica is making healthy eating easy on him! Thanks!

A Brilliant Diet and Recipe Book

Let Jessica Black's book end your search for the perfect diet for healing chronic disease caused by inflammation. Most books advise us to eat more nuts, seeds, whole grains, Omega-3s, herbs and spices, etc., but they don't tell us how to do it. If I add these foods to my already high-calorie diet, I'll weigh more than ever. The recipes in this book show us how to make simple dishes using these items, how to substitute whole ingredients for processed ingredients, such as coating fish fillets with ground sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or almonds instead of bread crumbs. How simple. How delicious. How nutritious.

Anti-Inflammation Diet

I ordered this book at the same time I ordered Win the War Within, by Frank Chilton. The book by Frank Chilton was much more informative, in depth, and helped us to understand the nutritional information behind our inflammation.
