• Rebalance through frequency, quantity, combination and timing of meals.

I am a diet and nutrition book junkie. I have read almost every diet book that has been written in the past 30 years. This one is by far "THE BEST!". It explains why our bodies react as they do in response to what we eat. Jillian is also reasonable and flexible on most points. It's a plan that is do-able and works. I've been able to eliminate my evening eating for the first time in my 62 yrs. The reasons she gives for not eating after 7pm were
believable enough to make me quit doing it. This habit has been my biggest sabateur to weight loss and I feel I have beat it, using her eating plan.

Pretty detailed if youre looking for that kind of help

I was after another DIET book..or routine.....or plan to help me lose weight. This book is more of a VERY VERY detailed illustration of how every inch in your body works and why and how and when.
IF you want to know ALL the ins and outs of how something is built, this book is for you. IF you want a simple exercise and diet plan DO NOT buy this book

I really like the information in this book, makes you think
about everything that is added to our food. I have been eating organic meats for about 3 years now and yes I can tell the difference. Great information in this book. I have learned about a few things that are in my diet now to stay away from.

I have just ordered Jillian's book but have not receieved it yet. However, if I went on Michael D's review I would not have ordered it. If he knows so much and picks apart the little details of others, he should write his own book. I doubt that it would be any better.

Almost there; Better than most "diet books"

This is probably the best mass market book on achieving good health available. There are a few inconsistencies and some oversights but generally on the mark for a book targeted at the mass market.
Some will complain about "going organic" for sure. If you want to be healthy, there is no other way. Our bodies are not designed to process chemicals and processed foods; they are designed to metabolize whole foods. Call this organic if you like. I call it the only way to get healthy.
Jillian states that one should eat foods in their natural state then continually stresses low fat milk. I've never seen a low fat cow so this contradicts her stated goal of eating things in their natural state. To follow her rules one should consume whole, raw milk not the pasteurized, homogenized, low fat junk sold in most stores. Skim and low fat milk is fed to pigs to fatten them up. Stick to whole, raw milk to lose weight.
There is virtually no mention of fermented foods which have been shown in study after study to be a key to health and longevity. Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of fermented foods. This is an oversight that I hope will be corrected in the next edition.
Another oversight is the fact that Jillian glosses over whole grains. Studies have shown that whole grains (especially wheat) eaten in the morning increase one's metabolism over eating other types of foods. Wheat has gotten a bad rap for allergies primarily because few people and no manufacturers process it properly. All grains should be soaked overnight before being consumed to reduce phytates and increase digestability.
Jillian goes into great detail about some subjects and glosses over others. I understand that to provide a consistent level of detail the book would be twice as long and many would put the book down before finishing it.
If you want to lose weight & get healthy, this is one of the 5 books you should own along with Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.
