5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to go Alkaline - this is your starter guide!, by RMPG43 (New Mexico, USA)
I have no idea why Amazon would allow a person to rate a book a zero based on price. Ignore that one and know that this book is THE one book that makes going alkaline easy. I found this book for $28 from a UK seller and can't say enough about how easy this makes changing your diet to include alkaline choices. I have bought other books on the subject but all those really were is a listing of the acid/alkaline chart of each food.
This book has guides to stocking your pantry, cleanses, easy recipes, shopping guides and is chock full of all the information you need to start introducing a new way of eating into your life without feeling like you are on a specific diet. Fabulous and highly recommend. I know why celebrities are touting this book as a Beauty and Health bible. It's fabulous and makes it easy for us to incorporate alkaline foods and recipes into our daily lives!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book!, by Dogperson
I saw this book and fell in love instantly. It has the main appeal that I look for in every cook book: pictures of the end product, easy to understand recipes, and ingredients that are available. I have tried a lot of these recipes already and haven't found a bad one yet!
5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor recommended, by Gabrielle Koczab "drgabe" (Cleveland, Ohio)
I have been recommending this book to all my patients. I am a DO in family medicine and I have taken an interest in a more functional approach to medicine and preventing disease using food. I was not eating properly and getting indigestion and after 2 days of following these recipes, it disappeared. The recipes are simple to make and delicious
5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice & recipes, even for someone with 2 kids and a sugar addiction!, by Cheryl L. Walters I bought this book to try and boost my immunity and relieve the terrible allergies that come with living in the Midwest. Some reviews criticized it for including dairy or for being a detox program... That's not how the book is setup at all. It does include limited dairy like goat cheese as a topping here and there, but that's in and certainly up to you to exclude. It does have a detox section, but that's a suggestion if you want to do a full cleanse before embarking on the alkaline diet as a lifestyle. After the detox/cleanse, you're supposed to pick and choose from the "non-cleanse" recipes as you wish.
I made meals out of this book for week for my family, and while some things looked funny, there were no complaints. After a birthday party this weekend full of cake, ice cream, and everything gluten and dairy-laden, I definitely felt the difference the next morning - full of congestion, drainage, and overall sluggishness. Those symptoms were going away while I ate on this diet, so it's definitely worth breaking some bad habits and following this book's guidelines.
