3.28 AVERAGE


While I find the information interesting, I think a good many claims from Dr. Gundry need further testing and data to prove them as true and accurate. The diet, as a whole, would really stretch the food budget of the average person even after removing most red meat from the diet because of the reliance on vitamin and mineral substances. Of course, Dr. Gundry sells those!

It didn't help my opinion that Dr. Gundry's claims are touted on website's like Goop.com and by (in)famous TV doctors.

I think if someone wants to try the diet - by all means. We could all stand to eat more vegetables and less red meat, but even with that belief in mind - this diet is highly restrictive and specialized. More power to you if you can stick with it.

no hummus? no tomatoes? no fun…

(also now I know where the “balsamic vinegar in sparkling water will leave you never wanting soda again” trend came from)

I just can't take seriously a doctor that repeatedly refers to fruit as "toxic candy". I did get a couple of decent looking recipes from this, though, and the knowledge that I might be okay with parmigiano reggiano cheese (he points out that it is from A2 cows, which I'd never been able to confirm before).

Great

Made me rethink how i eat certain foods. Very excited to try some of the recipes in this book very soon

While this may be true information, I don’t know how anyone is supposed to follow this.
informative slow-paced

Tried the diet plan for 6 weeks. No benefits for me. 

mostly nonsense
hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

I don't read these change your diet/change your life books to jump on their bandwagon.... I am curious to hear if I like what they have to say. I haven't tried any of the diets out, so I can't speak to the efficacy. I believe some of what the author states, but i am struck by how limiting the diet can also really limit your social opportunities. Food is a big part of people's lives and to suddenly not eat most foods would be hard to face socially.
