I Quit Sugar: Your Complete 8-Week Detox Program and Cookbook by Sarah Wilson
The tone is not one I normally find appealing, extra health food style with a side of autoimmune issues, and skip the glutin. So if you're into low glutin + sugar recipes Wilson has you covered.
I found myself increasing annoyed by Wilson's tendancy to convert the sugar measurements into teaspoons - what is wrong with grams? But we thought maybe this is an US measurement thing. Anyway - I like the look of some of the breakfast recipes, but let's be honest, I'm too lazy to make a 10 ingredient thing never mind strain my own cream cheese from full fat organic yogurt over a couple days, or sprout legumes. I can already eat the yogurt or soak and boil the beans, takes way less time. Overall, the whole process just feels inaccessible if you aren't all that into cooking, although I appreciate she went for "these ingredients keep repeating because it's the most efficient use of time/groceries"
