Don ColbertAnmeldelser

This book is faith based and practical. It has quickly become a reference book for me to wage the war on autoimmune in my home. Great job Dr. Colbert!

Dr. Colbert begins with his own story of a near death experience and years of consequences to his health that were brought on by this event and stress. He eventually discovered that he had an issue with gluten and peppers that was exacerbating his health problems. It began wearing on his body in the form of Psoriasis.

Using his medical expertise and his research over years of practicing medicine he shares many things he has learned about the food and exercise connection to our health. He spends this book pinpointing how a Mediterranean diet can help with a plethora of ailments including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular health, dementia/Alzheimer's and autoimmune/inflammatory disease.

He lays out the Mediterranean diet for us clearly and shares how eating and exercise can bring much relief and in many cases can reverse disease and illness completely. In each section, he also gives modifications to the diet for certain illnesses and conditions. He addresses GMOs and gluten issues as well as pesticides. His premise is... if you remove the thorn the body will begin to heal itself.

He is not trying to blatantly promote and sell supplements or gear in this book. (but there is a page at the back of the book if you are looking for something like that) He is open and honest about how this diet changed him and how, through his own research, he feels it can help many people out there that are suffering, too. He shares a four day menu sample at the end of the book of how to implement the plan.

He seems very genuine and I liked that about this book.

What made this book different for me was the Christian faith element. Don and his wife are Christians and share their walk through illness and recovery from a faith/biblical perspective. I don't see a great deal of that in other health/nutrition books.

I loved this book and will be using it as a reference a great deal in 2016 as I move through my own goals for fighting the autoimmune battle. If you have a family history or are already struggling with any of these issues I recommend this book. It is very affordable and his writing style is very enjoyable and encouraging. He is not condescending like other nutrition/health writers I have encountered.

First of all, let me tell you that this is a book containing recipes that follow "Dr. Colbert's Keto Zone", which is a wellness program that includes a ketogenic diet.

This book is great for those who just decided to stop or slow down on the carbs and realized that almost everything they cook has copious amounts of sugar and flour. It has a lot of familiar recipes like "perfectly scrambled eggs" or meringues and some other intriguing ones like avocado ice cream. Recipes use simple or easy to find ingredients that you might even have at home already. This makes it a great choice when transitioning to a keto pantry and for those who panic if suddenly they cant eat anything that resembles what they are used to.

I was specially interested about the snack and dessert sections, and this book had great recipes to choose from. I tried the garlic flaxseed crackers with cucumber mint dip and they were super fast to make. I only needed one thing from the store, greek yogurt. The rest of ingredients i had at home. I'm looking forward to try the cheddar chips and sweet nut clusters. Also included are breakfast, lunch, dinner and "basic" with recipes such as bone broth, coconut cream, sauces and dressings.

I liked this book. It might be a little too simple at times (like, I don't need a recipe for sunny side up eggs), but when trying a new diet, it's nice to be reminded of those everyday recipes you can still enjoy. If you have had a keto or low carb diet for a while and want to expand your repertoire of recipes, be aware that you might find many of them familiar or too basic, but it's worth checking it out.

I appreciate that Dr. Don Colbert addresses stress and the complications that arise from chronic stress through the lens of complementary medicine. His book is very informative as he goes beyond the typical eat well, sleep, and get exercise advice. He acknowledges that a healthy lifestyle is important, but he goes further by explaining why, even into the physiological aspects of the stress response. Some of the topics he discusses are reactions to possible food allergies, food chemicals, and lack of quality sleep; hormone imbalances, time management, distortional thought patterns, and how extreme exercise can prevent weight loss in those who are already chronically stressed. This book covers most everything one would need to consider when trying to reduce stress and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

I Picked Up This Book Because: I had already started considering a Keto Lifestyle and this book seemed like a good resource.

Good information giving upfront even if it was a bit “selly”. The recipes seemed as easy as the title suggest and I can’t wait to try a few.

I received this book free though Goodreads. This book has been very helpful to me as I suffer from a skin condition. I loved it so much I loaned it to a family member because she suffers from a number a ailments. I would recommend this book to anyone with inflammation problems. It helped me to understand some of the causes of my skin problems due to inflammation and how to avoid triggers. There are many causes to inflammation problems and this book will explain some of the common issues with it and how to help or reduced the problem.

179 pages indexed. This was my 1st book on food and diet. The book is enjoyable. You are going to need own it however if you plan to use it. It might be worth the purchase price.

I recently won this book through here.I had entered in hopes of winning this book for my brother-in-law's mom who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer.I read the book before giving it to her. Even though I am not a Christian, I felt that much of this book applies to anyone who has any type of illness even if they are not Christian. It was a wonderful book and I will be applying much of it to my own life. I have given the book to Annette and hope that she will be willing to apply it to her life as well.

This book is so much fun to look at as well as to read. It's bright and cheery and done in a magazine type layout. The pages are glossy and just jammed full of information. I found that most of the information can cross over to teens through adult, making this a very useful book that will be used over and over again.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It is easy to read and holds lots of information. With each chapter focusing on a theme, and then broken down into tiny articles and blurbs, this makes the information easy to digest and really easy to stay focused on. One neat thing is, because of the bright and cheery pages, I found my children (and even my husband!!) picking it up and looking through it. Since it was left on the coffee table, it was easy to access and even those that visited, leafed through it and commented that they wanted to add one to their family library.

One part that I thought was great - especially in a "healthy living" type book is the discussion of eating out and what are the best choices at certain fast food places. Although one should avoid them, there are times that it may not be possible. This book is realistic in that area.

This is a great book that I strongly recommend every parent should read. Please note, this book is Christian based.½
