Easy recipes, common ingredients, delicious!
I bought this book to help my husband who has inflammation issues. I myself have a gluten allergy and have been gluten free for many years. This is the first cookbook that I’ve purchased that I really LOVE. As of this writing, I’ve made 18 of theses recipes so far that are delicious. And some that I’ve already repeated. I love the fact that meat recipes are included. It’s not just for vegetarians or vegans. Most of the meat recipes are for fish and chicken, with a few for pork tenderloin, 1 ground beef and 1 steak. Also, almost every recipe is gluten free. And those that are not, have a tip to make them gluten free. For instance, swapping out regular pasta for gluten free, or gluten free toast for whole wheat. Another great feature is that all of these recipes are easy, and except for spices, have only 5 easy to find ingredients. No fancy expensive ingredients to buy. I like that the book gives you a 2week meal plan with a shopping list and an optional weekly prep guide. It’s very well laid out and easy to follow. However, because there are a few recipes with ingredients that I don’t like (beets for instance), I decided not to follow the weekly meal plans at first. Instead I picked out a few recipes I wanted to try, and kept a list of the ones that we really liked as we tried them. For the recipes we didn’t like, which were only a few, we substituted a recipe we did like. This allowed us to make our own meal plan. The beginning of this book explains inflammation and gives you a list of foods to enjoy, foods to consider with care, and foods to avoid. This book focuses on healthy fats, gluten free grains, veggies, low sugar fruits, seeds, legumes and anti-inflamatory spices like turmeric, ginger, rosemary and more.So, has it helped my husband with his inflammation issues? It sure has. He has bad shoulder issues and following this diet has given him a greater range of motion in the shoulder and a lot less pain throughout the day. For me, I’ve discovered that having less dairy (can anyone say cheese please!) has helped me feel less bloated and I’ve lost a little weight.Here are my top pros & cons.Pros:Gluten freeEasy recipes that don’t involve a lot of hard to find ingredients and are quick to makeThe book is well laid outHigh hit-rate of great tasting recipesIncludes both a recipe index and a full indexPriced rightCons:Wish it came in a spiral bound version (but mine has held up very well so far)There are some pictures but could have included moreA few of the breakfast recipes were bland, so stick to the ones you try that you like

A great healthy nutrition resource for inflamation Fighting Cooking Ideas
I was looking for easy to make and not too expensive foods to buy for a family member suffering from swollen joints and various other health issues. I really appreciated the easy to understand introduction that talked about how to establish such a dietary habit, how to get organized both kitchen/pantry and mentally for changes, and then a well organized offering of menus and and recipes. I like how each weekly menu suggested ways to use up leftovers in a different meal so there’s no waste and the menu doesn’t break the food budget. I would say half the menu items/recipes are ones that I can cook for my family member so that makes this book a winner.

Good book, no pictures
Good book with some good recipes. No pictures which I didn’t like. Easy to understand and easy to find most ingredients. Has a lot of information in the front about an anti inflammatory diet.

Very informative
Very informative, easy to use I love the spiral binding so that it lays flat. Information plus recipes! Just what I’ve been looking for!

Not enough
I’m knocking off stars because this book is more of a starvation diet than a healthy lifestyle change. The first part of the book leads you into thinking that you will develop a healthy relationship with food by using mindfulness and choosing more whole foods rather than processed foods to reduce inflammation. It goes on and on about how you will receive some amazing overall health benefits. One of the authors is said to be a dietitian, but even when looking at the first week of planned meals I could tell this book was misleading for healthy lifestyle changes. Most, if not all, of the meals are under 500 calories, which is fine if you’re eating snacks or other things throughout the day, but the book doesn’t include snacks into its meal plans. The calories on the first day are less than 1,200 – it’s well known that eating under 1,200 is not healthy- it’s not enough energy for an adult. For some of the breakfasts you only consume a smoothie that is 120 calories with no protein. 120 calories won’t have me feeling full for 4 hours until lunch, or energetic like the book claims. On the weekends you’re again starving yourself for an unknown reason, you get a small breakfast, a snack of veggies for lunch, and dinner. Saturday week 1 adds up to 910 calories… I get it, most people eat more calories than they need but starving yourself isn’t the way to decrease inflammation or form healthy eating habits. The recipes are fine and can be used as a guide to increase more whole foods in a diet and maybe reduce inflammation, but it leaves the reader needing to find alternatives to appropriate macros and calorie consumption. I’m not an expert, but I’ve learned enough over the years to know that starving yourself isn’t the answer.

A little different but IMO, better than a Fodmap diet.
I almost returned this book because our doctor recommended a Fodmap diet to help control my wife’s IBS, and this is an Anti-inflammatory one. After doing some research on both A-I and Fodmap diets, I think the A-I one and this book in particular is more practical for us. This is a wonderful book and a great introduction to this type of eating. It has very helpful lists on the types of foods, etc., that are recommended as well as the ones to avoid. It also has useful tips like which fruits and veggies you should always buy organic and why. I try to prepare fairly healthy meals but some of this stuff I just didn’t know. This book will be a staple for us and could not be less intimidating. It is written in plain, understandable and relatable language and offers some very appetizing recipes that I would like even if I wasn’t trying this diet.Thanks very much for a great resource to help us get started.

Where do I start – I do not love cooking but I’ve had some health issues (inflammation, brain fog, etc.) and was hoping this book could address that.I did a lot of research on what might be inflammatory on me and with a grain of salt, also took my food sensitivity test into account as well. When I got the book, I was expecting to not like half the recipes in there but I read through week 1, then week 2 – I liked them! There were a couple of iffy ones (salads) that I didn’t know I was going to like but it turned out as one of my favs as it was easy to put together & actually tasty! i.e. i do not like smell or taste of cooked lentils but it was a great addition to some of these recipes!For those saying this is not an anti-inflammatory book, different items are inflammatory to different people. You need to pay attention to your body and see how yoru body reacts to certain foods. And there’s always a range of how much you react to certain foods. Like if dairy doesn’t sit well with you, leave it out (not that these recipes have dairy but it does recommend of part of breakfast some days but easily left out). I don’t do good with almods, so I’d replace with walnuts, etc. – you get the point.I do wish that there was more than 2 weeks of meal plan. I love the grocery list, I was able to break it into what to get at costco, etc. It made shopping a breeze (for the most part). Book says this but it does make meals for more than 2 people. It’s a lot. It’s currently just my husband and I, and my husband is a very picky eater so it’s mostly me eating these and 1 week worth of groceries I think will last me 2-3 weeks! I will be freezing some of these for sure and hoping ingredients won’t go to waste.It’s too early to say how I feel as I’m only on week 1 but I know from the past, going vegan for a month (essentially removing processed foods), it will have a tremendous impact on my health. I’m just happy that I found a book with recipes I ACTUALLY like. I will be buying her other books too once I’m done with this one. For twenty-something dollars, this was totally worth it.

Cet article m’a été facturé alors que je ne l’ai pas commandé. Je n’ai d’ailleurs pas de Kindle. C’est désolant.
