Are you frustrated by being stuck at the same old weight no matter how hard you try to lower it? Have traditional approaches to dieting failed you? Can eating good food like salmon and oatmeal actually be part of the problem and not the solution? Do you have thyroid related concerns? If you answer "YES" to any of these questions, THE PLAN just may have the answer you need! Turning away from traditional approaches to diets and health, Lyn-Genet Recitas's book takes a fresh perspective and focuses instead on how the body responds to certain foods and the chemicals in them. THE PLAN is a game changing new look at the perennial problem of weight gain and the difficulties of losing it. As people respond uniquely to different food factors, the anti-inflammatory diet proposed by Recitas completely shifts the focus away from calories to how food and exercise can affect you as an individual. In clear and understandable language, the author highlights that there are essentially four main factors affecting poor health and weight gain. These are: not drinking enough water for your size, in-taking too much sodium, eating foods that give your digestive system an inflammatory response, thus slowing the digestion process down and doing the wrong kind of physical exercise, such as over- training. Based on her extensive experience as a holistic nutritionist, the author gives numerous examples of how people respond in varying ways to the various chemicals and other factors found in the foods we eat, so that healthy lean food, such as fish, turkey and eggs can cause completely different reactions and weigh gain in different people. To assess your situation, THE PLAN outlines a three day period with specific foods to cleanse your system and then, gradually starts adding back in all the food you enjoy, including wine and chocolate! As this is a life changing approach to eating, numerous recipes are included as well as lots of solid information on how to assess your individual responses to foods. It is definitely not a diet book in the traditional sense and certainly, if followed, will not leave you hungry. Further information and support is also provided on Recitas' website. What could pose a difficulty for some people is that as this is a life changing approach, following the plan requires a considerable amount of shopping for specific items, following the recipes and using some specific supplements. These brand specific items may be harder to find for people living in rural areas or outside of the States, but they can be ordered online or appropriate alternatives can be recommended by health food specialists or by questions sent to the author on her website. Definitely worth checking out to see if it can help you! You may be glad that you did!
