InstaThoughts: I picked this up because I love meal planning and wanted some healthy food prep I could do. I don’t have a gall bladder so part of the book was lost on me. That being said I really liked the look of the recipes and that they walked people through the prep. The menu that they have for each week is detailed with what to pick up and how to cook it. That was brilliantly done! I also loved the broth recipes (beef broth rocks-it is the only one that I have made). Will I do a stash plan week? Maybe but I need to plan around my dislike of beets and turkey. Overall pretty good recipes and stretches!

This is not getting enough publicity! It is really simple--cook protein, whole grains, and veggies in triple batches twice a week. When you are hungry, go to the fridge and make a bowl with a scoop of each! Oh, also add organic chicken/beef/veggie broth and do stretches for 20 minutes a day that stimulate your lymphatic system and help cleanse your liver. The author also has a Youtube channel that shows her favorite meals/meal preps. Some of the recipes are not for me, but I learned a lot about liver/kidney health. I like that it focuses on whole foods without being super restrictive.
I enjoyed this one and picked up a few tips. None of the food information was new to me including the "stash" aka meal prep concept. I actually got the most out of the stretches/yoga poses included in the book and continue to do them almost daily.
Oh dear oh dear, the clean eating bandwagon is getting even worse. My bullshit alarm was set off from the first page I randomly flipped to, which was all about how stretching will help to magically heal your gall bladder: "these aren't typical stretches - they unblock your qi and untangle your fascia"
The recipes are fine but nothing I would be thrilled to cook - a lot of turkey mince a whole chapter of "broth" recipes, and of course avo toast. I guess they are healthy (in a pretty boring way) so if you do manage to stick to the plan I guess you'll lose weight, if that's your main concern. But I'm not sure your qi will be any less tangled...
