Hungry For Change: Ditch The Diets, Conquer The Cravings, And Eat Your Way To Lifelong Health (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was highly informative and a great "condensed companion" to the documentary film. I watched the film and then read the book right after and it really helped to cement the knowledge into my brain. Essentially, this book espouses the benefits of a nutritarian diet--a diet in which you focus on consuming foods high in nutrients but low in calories. As someone who has been slowly cleaning up and cleaning out their diet for years, I found this book to be "the next level". Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get healthy and clean out their body from inside to out! I have definitely mixed feelings about this book, just like I had about the movie. Do North Americans eat like crap? Yes, we eat a lot of garbage. Do we benefit from choosing to more fruits and veggies and more real food? Yes, we do.However, I'm not a big believer in crap like detox or some of the other things in this book. I felt that there was a lot of good information, but I am choosing to take some of this with a grain of salt. (ha, bad pun.)If you've seen the movie, you'll find that there's A LOT of overlap between the movie and the book. There were a bunch of good recipes in this book and I really enjoyed some of the soup, salad and smoothie recipes and will be trying some of them out.Mixed feelings, but a decent quick read and good recipes.
