The reviewer found the book to be informative and useful, learning new things about nutrition, but also found the diet plan too severe and restrictive, focusing too much on eliminating foods rather than promoting a healthy lifestyle.
The reviewer appreciated the book's insights into nutrition and health, particularly the emphasis on nutrient-dense foods and the dangers of processed foods. They found the information about certain types of cinnamon being toxic and the advocacy for a vegetable-based diet to be particularly useful. However, they also found the diet plan to be too restrictive and severe, with an overemphasis on eliminating foods rather than promoting a healthy lifestyle. The reviewer also took issue with the author's self-promotion of his own products, which they found to be arrogant and self-serving. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer found some of the recipes and food suggestions to be good and could see themselves incorporating some of the ideas into their own diet.
