Clean(ish): Eat (Mostly) Clean, Live (Mainly) Clean, and Unlock Your Body's Natural Ability to Self-Clean by Gin Stephens, Gin Stephens
3.0
I didn’t get as much out of it as I was hoping. The “Live (Mainly) Clean” chapter was particularly frustrating because many of the suggestions are pretty expensive and, for me, unrealistic. She brings things back around to more comfortable changes and pacing in the “Choose your Clean(ish) Timeline,” but still many of the suggestions just won’t work for me. Also, I’m not sure how many of her suggested changes will work for the average person as they require both time and money.
I’ll make some of the suggested adjustments, and Gin is pretty positive in her approach that some change is better than no change personally and for the environment. And, the resources and apps noted in the book will be helpful.
This book does make it very clear that being clean or even just “cleanish” in the U.S. today is neither easy nor inexpensive.
The book is definitely written to be used with journaling, and if I’d taken more time and followed through with the journal topics, I might have found the book more helpful. Also, a group reading or a book club experience would be beneficial, and I know Gin offers this type of activity on her site, but at this point, I wasn’t ready to participate.
