[Madame Lucretia · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is a waste of time. It quickly contradicts itself, and just gets worse, especially when you get to the recipes. It starts out saying to not eat gluten, and try for low oxalate, but most of the recipes seem to contain oxalate and gluten. Not to mention theyre of the belief you should only drink fancy water. Don't waste your time with the book, it's useless.

Mostly obvious stuff, although the section on vitamins and supplements should bring my review to 2.5 stars. I was hoping for more vegetarian/vegan recipes. The first half of the book talks about limiting meat, but most of the mains have meat in them.
