Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE. For two weeks now I’ve been following the main principles of Dr. Gundry’s program. Lost 6 pounds so far, and that after already being on a diet, so it wasn’t water loss. And no nagging hunger pains, either. This doctor has developed an easy-to-follow accessible style, person-to-person. His previous four books on the lectin factor and better health have laid a solid groundwork for this and coming books. RESULTS. That’s the real test of the book, isn’t it? For six months now I’ve been struggling with diverticulitis that gave me almost constant pain in my left side and sometimes in my mid-chest. My doctor referred me back to my gastroenterologist, but I’d have to wait five weeks for an appointment. What would he do? Perhaps another colonoscopy or similar exam. That sure didn’t appeal to me. When I learned about Dr. Gundry’s lectin-reduced diet, I decided to try that first. If this program reverses my health challenge, that would be wonderful. So far progress has been there although a bit slow. That could be because I have not followed every jot and tittle of this program. Then again, Doc does allow for some minor deviation! Patience rather than perfection. ADAPT AND ADOPT. There is a lot to adapt to, of course. But the author lays out a very clear program. (1) How and where to shop in order get everything together. (2) How to prepare the recipe--breakfast, lunch and dinner for every day of the week, and for four weeks-plus. TASTY RECIPES? I’ve started trying some of the recipes and have no trouble switching from my old ones to these. In fact, some make me feel better right off, and that motivates me. Over the next few weeks I look forward to gradually trying even more of them. HINT #1. Don’t wing it or try this program until you understand the principles behind it. That will motivate you, as it does me, to adopt it better to my tastes and schedule. Pay attention to “Food Shopping Tips and Tricks” to simplify and save money at shopping for the ingredients you’ll need. HINT #2. I first checked out the doctor’s previous book that offers “THE PLANT PARADOX COOKBOOK: 100 delicious recipes”, as well as the principles behind them. In some ways those recipes are easier to follow then this present book and could offer more variety. HINT #3. Also, if you haven’t already, study the “intermittent fast” concept. My wife was already on that program with good results, so I blended in with her program. It has worked well and we still have together-time at our meals. We also go out for one meal a week and better know how to choose. MANY YEARS AND MUCH RESEARCH. This clear step-by-step program follows the author’s many years of treating thousands of patients with mild to severe health challenges. It lives up to the author’s promise: “I truly want to make it as simple as possible for you to try out this program and reclaim your health.” He’s gotten some amazing results. I too am motivated and am certain I’ll receive even more favorable results. I’ll keep you posted. One of the doc’s fundamental beliefs which encourages me: “Do what you can with what you’ve got, wherever you are.” The book also offers some internet resources, including a community of followers who could help you with concerns, questions and encouragement. Dr. Gundry’s approach to better health is not the only good one that can work, but it is helping me and I’m sure will help thousands of others.
