jenniferd3's review against another edition
3.0
First, I want to say I haven't implemented this yet so I am not reviewing the program itself. I have a friend who HAS implemented it with great success. From my reading I think the plan sounds solid. The exercise portion is descriptive enough that it could be implemented. The part that I think will turn most people off is the eating portion. The book explains the amount of protein, fat,etc you should get at every meal and even lists the best foods to get this from. Great. But there are only a handful of recipes that are complex for a beginner or anyone with a busy lifestyle. It is a big turn off. The book needs some sample menus for the week and some simpler recipes. I thought since these were lacking I might find some more info online from the author or maybe a group somewhere that shared recipes and experiences. Nothing. This leads me to believe there have been very few people who have attempted this program. I am still contemplating trying it based on the awesome results my friend has had. But I am going to have to rely on my experience with the Whole 30 diet to help me through the meal planning. And I am going to hazard a guess that most readers will not have that experience to fall back on.
