Customer Rating: 

I found this book to be very informative and easy to follow. In todays world with all of its additives and unhealthy eating practices I believe we all need to do things like liver cleansing and other healthy practices to more or less help ourselves to combat the onslaught of this life style thats been forced upon us all. The author recommends great eating habits with recipes that are really delicious. I'm really happy to have discovered this book and to put it to work for me,

I bought this book primarily for the recipes. I have had gallbladder issues for a few years now, and during that time, I have educated myself about what kinds of foods to eat and what kinds of foods to avoid in order support my gallbladder health. While I have good success with these changes in diet, I was looking for some inspiration in terms of variety and interesting ways to prepare liver/gallbladder healthy foods.

I'll just start out by saying that I have made 4 recipes from the book and in each case I have been blown away by how good the meals are. I'm not talking "good for a healthy recipe". I mean good that can hold its own.... period. In this sense, the book has more than exceeded my expectations. Even my partner who is somewhat skeptical about anything "healthy" has really enjoyed the meals.

The book also has a lot of good information about how different foods affect the liver and its processes so it is also useful in that respect.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that while the book's perspective was definitely centered around promoting liver health, some of the suggestions and ingredients may cause some problems for people like me who have gallbladder sensitivities. For instance, almonds show up in many of the recipes and in the ubiquitous LSA (i.e. linseed, sunflower seeds, almond) mix but as healthy as almonds are, they are often a trigger for gallbladder sensitive people. There are also a few recipes that contain eggs (or are centered around eggs) and while eggs in moderation can be a healthy part of most people's diet, they are one of the worst (if not THE worst) offenders for people with gallbladder issues. While I realize that the book is written more from a liver health (and not a gallbladder health) perspective in mind, I think it is still a fair point to raise since most people look at the gallbladder and the liver as merely different aspects of one system so closely are they related.

However, having said this, I have found that almost all of the book's recipes are either fine as written or can be easily "edited" to tailor them more to my particular needs. And as I said, I have been very impressed with how good everything so far has turned out.

A informative book on liver health and related problems connected to poor liver function, the diet is very helpful as an overall cleanse. I recommend this book for improving basic health as well as for liver cleansing.

This is a great book. Has a lot of advice and common sense. Not hard to do at all. I lost 20lbs in 2 mos. and have managed to keep it off, even through the Holidays. Good advice for all body types and the recipes are easy to follow and use everyday. This is especially a good book for anyone with liver problems. Everyone should be kind to their liver.
