I love this book! If you are completely willing to change what’s in your pantry and what you eat, this book is for you. There is no , calorie counting just combining certain foods and eliminating others. I come from a scientific background and I love how this book explains food, diet, and metabolism and the scientific effects in our body. Take what Dee says to heart, and you will have a happy and healthy heart!

EVERYONE should read this book! It is aimed first at compulsive eaters wanting to break their cycle of obesity and litany of diseases but it can benefit anyone who cares about what goes into his/her body. I am all pumped up and hope that I can apply most of the concepts mentioned in the book.
One thing that would be useful: how can we apply this anti-diet to children? If you have a family and cook for different ages, growth stages, and nutritional needs, how do you do it? Maybe a follow-up book on feeding children and teenagers would be appropriate. It is a known fact that addictions that start early are also the ones that are the hardest to break from. Can we help children before they become unhealthy adults? I think Plan-D can do it!

I first checked this book out from the Library, then decided it was definitely worth the purchase. McCaffrey is knowledgeable and explains the information in a way the lay-person can understand. It all makes such sense – eat the food God put here as close to it’s natural state as possible. Our bodies will thank us for it by the health we enjoy. Next, I will purchase her cookbook. All the recipes I have tried from this first book have been very good.

Anyone, any study, any article can make statements about the safety of foods. Therefore, we need scientific evidence from someone who can explain things in layman’s terms. Dee is a chemist. She will teach you exactly how foods are made and why certain foods like genetically modified foods or high fructose corn syrup are bad for us. There is a conspiracy out there that the FDA, Dept of Agriculture, EPA, even the AMA do not want us to know about: that the effects of certain chemicals and substances in nearly 70% of our foods today are either bad for us, or the effects are not yet known. Don’t be a government lab rat. Take control of your life and eating habits. This book provides objective scientific evidence into the relationship of food and chronic illnesses. As a byproduct, weight loss will occur. There’s a reason why we feel so hungry on weight watchers. Read the book.
I personally didn’t need to loose weight. I wish the book was actually titled differently. This was about getting rid of chronic ailments in my life. Acquiring chronic ailments like asthma, hypothyroidism, ADD all in my late thirties was too coincidental for me. I knew there was a cause and with a lot of research, I came across this book, and others, written by people with no connection to big corporations or government departments. There’s no ulterior motive here besides sending out objective, scientific, yet provocative information for us. The book will change your life. Never learned about high fructose corn syrup. Never
thought about the different types of cooking oils or where they came from, never knew about the history of cheap food processing procedures and chemicals with the FDA. Our health suffers at the expense of big business and government every day. Get informed and vote with your food purchases.

Dee has given us much more detail in this book about the science behind her program. I haven’t read it all the way through yet, but I have her first book and can vouch for the fact that her recipes are truly spectacular. They are not health food that is tasteless and boring, but rather wonderful dishes I love to eat. And,it’s great to know they are good for one as well. This book will be a great addition for those of us recognizing the wisdom in eating in a truly healthful way.
