There is a lot I really like about this book. Most of all I like the honesty and the sense of responsibility that comes through on almost every page. The author incorporates her own life experiences, she does not pretend for one moment that following this diet is an easy thing to do, she provides warnings to people with health issues and she emphasizes more often than once that people should consult their doctor before they commence this diet. This book is free of unrealistic motivational hype, it is down to earth and deals in serious and constructive ways with the various challenges people will encounter when they embark on the journey this book offers. The author does not pretend that being hungry and experiencing emotional ups and downs are insignificant side effects; she provides useful suggestions about how to deal with these issues.And yet, at the same time, this book is motivational and inspiring. It is written in a conversational style. You can feel that the author has put all her conviction into it and at times it didn't feel to me that I was reading a book; it felt more like I was listening to someone I felt very comfortable with.The diet itself and the phases involved are simple and well explained. This book is comprehensive, down to earth, easy to read and, as I said at the beginning, an honest and responsible account about a diet that can make a huge difference in a person's life.
