31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World by Ocean Robbins
4.0
My husband has already been eating this way for several years now and it's played a huge part in keeping him healthy despite the fact that he has the autoimmune disease CIDP. He went from liters of soda a day (for the caffeine to help him through his high stress job), few fruits and vegetables and lots of processed foods to eating a Whole Food Plant Based diet. Instead of now being in a wheelchair, as his doctors predicted, his disease has barely progressed and we think his intensely nutritious way of eating and drinking (he has a 72 ounce smoothie a day, full nutritious ingredients) has kept him so healthy.
It's me who needs to find tune (an understatement) my way of eating. Emotionally I'm attracted to the processed foods of my youth but that is something I can work on and am working on. Even though I was very familiar with the advice in this book, it has helped me to read the step by step chapters towards eating in a healthier way. The only thing I would like from a book like this is for the recipes to be more "Marilyn" friendly (but that's a tall order). I'm still having a hard time taking the steps towards making and liking most of the recipes that the book contains. I do think that if I enjoyed cooking more, I might make more progress with the recipes. Sure wish I had my husband's steel stomach because he happily throws everything in his smoothies, including cooked mushrooms. He's getting all the good stuff but while I gag in the background.
Still, with the help of this book, I'm remembering why I want to put in the effort to eat more fruits and vegetables and ditch processed foods for good. Reading the book over 31 days allows one to make a change each day, with guidance and encouragement. I'm so lucky to have someone in my home who is showing me how it's done and showing such awesome results.
