I purchased this book over 2 years ago and had it sitting on my bookshelf. I figured I'd get to it "someday". A year and a half ago I started having some "odd" health issues and after numerous medical tests I was diagnosed with MS. I was overweight and I was scared, and I decided I needed to seriously start taking care of my body. None of the doctors or specialists I saw told me to change my diet, but I knew I needed to do something for my body other than just follow MS treatment. I read this book and immediately started following the diet plan and Dr. Black's suggestions. I followed this plan not to lose weight, but to simply help my body "perform" the best it could. Was it a challenge at first to omit certain foods? Yes. But there are so many resources out there with recipes & alternatives, you'll find new ways to prepare & eat foods you enjoy and try some new ones! By following this plan I have lost over 85 lbs! I never in a million years would have thought I would have lost as much as I have so far (and I continue to lose weight). I feel great, look great, and thank God because since my initial diagnosis of MS, I have not had any other issues or symptoms. I've been following treatment, taking vitamins and supplements, and following this plan. I feel all 3 components (and God's help) have helped me stay healthy. Some of the recipes are better than others, but like anything... you test the different recipes out, keep the ones you like, and discard the rest. The book is easy reading and it can start you on the road to better health. Like I stated in the title of this review, I am grateful I came across this book.
