I highly recommend it!! Dr. Hansen has written another outstanding book! His books will greatly benefit every household worldwide!

This very detailed book offers lots of advice on how to make healthier changes to both our diet and lifestyle. In this book, the author tells us that food can be either "our medicine" or "our poison", and I found that quite thought-provoking.

I think that in this day and age, with so many convenience foods available, some of may choose to eat convenience foods because they're tasty, and there for us to eat. It may be that if we have a demanding schedule, we don't prepare meals from scratch, simply because we feel we don't have the time.

As a person who also has a sweet tooth, and a weakness for snacking, I thought about how I could apply some of the advice in this book to my own lifestyle. The points made about comfort eating and 'distracted' eating (eating while looking at your mobile phone, etc) resonated with me, as did the advice about lifestyle changes, including regular breaks from looking at our screens. Technology is so incorporated into our lives these days that we don't always think about it.

There's a lot of information in this book, but it's presented in a format that's easy to work with. There's a variation of recipes to try out, and I really enjoyed looking at that section. There's also a section that includes some inspirational success stories.

In general, I felt the author expressed himself in a way that comes across as encouraging and motivational to the reader. This book could be a very interesting read for anyone, whether you're looking to make changes to your diet and lifestyle or not.
