I thought this book made a lot of sense.
We know by now that low fat, or low carb or any kind of diet that is too low in something doesn't really work. I believe that you need to give your body a bit of everything and can't starve it of one type of food.

The science behind the hormones makes sense to me, and I could identify myself in the quizzes.
The text part is very short. maybe too short....the meal plans look delicious, but there isn't a lot of choice, which I don't like. I'm sure you show more can substitute one lunch plan for another if you want.

The recipes all look amazing. Almost all of them have pictures of the food, and it makes your mouth water. There is no way you will feel deprived with these meals. I can't wait to try some of them out, they look too delicious.
But they use a lot of foods that I don't normally have in the house, so will require a large shopping trip to stock up on those items. some, like lemon grass, may be hard to find in some areas, unless you live in a big city.

Overall, the food looks amazing, the book makes a ton of sense, but I know it would be very difficult for me to get some of the foods since I live in a remote area. I wish the recipes were just a little bit easier, or offered substitutions.

There was a great story. And then there was the ending. The story is initially good and appeared to be a good lighthearted read which anybody would really enjoy. It was simple chick lit. But towards the end the story got absolutely ridiculous and pathetic. It wasn't even worth reading the last chapters, it didn't even make sense. 3 stars, closer to 2.5.
