Gut Health Diet for Beginners A 7Day Plan to Heal Your Gut and Boost Digestive Health Kitty Martone 9781641522359 Books Reviews

• CONFESSION TIME I've been fighting the battle of my bulge now for four years. I could say longer than that, but, I wasn't honestly sacrificing to lose weight, so I will only say four years. I've tried a lot of ways, including prepared meals as seen on TV (you know, the Marie Osmond promoted product) but NOTHING has worked. Further, my health is declining, so I am becoming ultra frustrated. Thus, in my quest I am open to just about anything, so long as it does not involve drugs , pills, or surgery. (Mom tried that and it did little except for the period immediately after the surgery.
  
  So, I bought this book, since the price was right at just a dollar. I'm going to give it a try, but, for now, I'm just going to review the contents, the philosophy and fundamentals discussed by the author, and the layout. In other words, I am going to review the book contents only.
  
  WHAT I LIKE I like that the author has explained, from her personal experience, why she concentrates on gut health as a contributor to improving one's health. It sounds plausible, but, since I am not a doctor I can't judge the worth of her statements. Further, although I do have a slightly favorable disposition to non-GMO, and to free-range chickens, as well as to, in most circumstances, organic farming, I'm not so sure, in terms of my health, that there is any associated value demonstrable through testing. Still, as I stated, I do appreciate her hip shot and am open to accept her statements at face value.
  
  I also like her attempts to help us quickly understand if the recipe is vegetarian; prep time; serving size and nutritional analysis. Another point that I like, but wish she had included in greater abundance, are photographs. Especially of the completed meals.
  
  WHAT I WISH I wish each dish, insofar as practicable, had an accompanying photograph. There just aren't enough pictures.
  
  I also wish she had included a list of vendors that readers could contact through email, telephone or on the web for supplies and equipment, as many of the products are somewhat difficult to find in North Dakota.
  
  BOTTOM LINE
  
  I have no clue as to whether this will result in my victory over obesity, but it is certainly a tantalizing option. My one concern is whether I can obtain, and at what cost, the products shown in several of the recipes.
  
  Four stars out of five. But, as my wife and I proceed with her dietary recommendations, this rating could move up.
• I really enjoy reading cookbooks and guides that promote plans towards better health and often I find that I learn valuable bits and pieces that I can incorporate into my lifestyle. However, as far as being able to actually follow through with their whole suggested plans, rarely do I find that feasible. That’s where this book stands out. Not only do you get super informative nuggets of stand alone info, but also a truly approachable action plan and easy (and seemingly delish) recipes to help improve your gut health. Not too overwhelming and like something I actually want to (AND COULD) do! Highly recommend!
• I think this book is a fantastic, simple and easy-to-follow guide towards taking back one's gut health! There are so many extreme diets and methods out there (many of which I have tried) and it's nice to have a streamlined version of what's really important, and where to start. I am working more than full-time, as is my partner who is new to all things health-food so this gives us some common ground and some tasty but healthy recipes to start with. I love the idea of the Body Ecology Diet and the Whole 30 and many others, but it they are so restrictive that I never seem to be able to commit. I think this book has found that necessary middle ground, making checking-in and cleaning-up one's diet a manageable task with big long-term rewards. Bravo Lady Martone!
• I can't wait to try these recipes! Good information for the person who is just dipping their toes in the water of gut health. Not overwhelming at all!
• I bought this after Cdiff and it was very useful in helping to know what foods are easy to digest and what not to eat.
• Just getting started but I’m very excited about the plan! What she says really makes sense to me and I’m looking forward to the changes ahead. 😊
• Great book
• Really helpful
