The Body Reset Diet: Power Your Metabolism, Blast Fat, and Shed Pounds in Just 15 Days by Harley Pasternak
3.0
I'm not sure if I should rate this 3 or 4 stars.
If you're expecting a lot of information on nutrition or something very advanced, this book is not for you. It's rather short and I could resume it down to 10.000 steps a day, smoothies, and regular short interval exercises.
For me personally this works. In the sense that I am already someone who strives to walk 10.000 steps a day, I love smoothies, and some of these were absolutely delicious. And filling, I'm not hungry at all after having them.
What annoyed me is the meagre collection of vegetarian or vegan recipes, Pasternak seems to rely mostly on animal protein. I might try some recipes but in all honesty, the real thing it did was to remind me of portions and how off they are most of the time. Oh, and he's really into avoiding fat. Get that 2% yoghurt and put some olive oil in your salad, it will do you good.
I do plan on replacing one meal a day with a smoothie from now on, it seems to work for me. And I will try all the smoothies, not just the main three, I'm sure there is some gold there as well.
