Customer Reviews

A philosophy that makes sense. Great recipes.

This book makes sense. The premise is that our bodies evolved to eat food that could be hunted and gathered. That means fruit, vegetables, nuts, some whole grains, and some meat. (If we could catch it, we could eat it.) The no-nonsense message is that a diet that includes a range of whole foods (we didn't evolve to eat Cheetos and Whoppers!) can taste great and keep you healthy. The recipes are really tasty. Some are exotic. Some take only ten minutes. There's enough variety, spice, and substance to keep me satisfied.I read The Zone and realized that it was fundamentally a low-calorie diet -- of course you'll lose weight, but I can't believe it's healthy. If you really follow it you don't eat enough! I tried McDougall's plan and found his recipes bland and tired after a while. I liked Ornish's recipes but found myself craving tuna salad sandwiches and eating way too much dairy. Citron's book is balanced and less restrictive than Ornish or McDougall, and it makes complete sense from a scientific standpoint. Thumbs up!
