[Sheryl Valentine]

This is not really a diet book, but one about food intolerance. The top 3 being wheat, dairy and sugar, the others being eggs, corn, peanuts and soy.

It's a compelling idea, that food reactions could make you unwell and even fat, but the evidence is primarily anecdotal, and as we all know, anecdote does not equal data. I am tempted to do the blood test, but health insurance is going to be an uncertainty pretty soon for most of us, so I'm thinking it's not something mine would cover. As for doing the elimination tests, the instructions are not really clear on how to add back without repeating foods too often (which in theory, triggers reactions).

I'd have given it two stars, but I want to try the recipes, and there are a lot of them.

This guy could have given some helpful information about how different people tolerate different foods, but instead he takes some giant leaps into explaining why and how, which no one really knows, and he states made up stuff as scientific fact. Such as: Leaky gut syndrome, "the layer of yeast sludge in your gut", and words like "debris". If you follow all the advice in this book you would have to buy thousands of dollars in supplements.

Pretty much covers the same material as his other book, New Detox Diet, and I read a little more indepth....

This book is more about how to do an elimination diet and figure out what's causing an inflammatory reaction.
