The Complete Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Beginners: A No-Stress Meal Plan with Easy Recipes to Heal the Immune System Paperback – April 11, 2017

I am living with PCOS and MS. overall, following an anit-inflammatory diet is recommended for both of these conditions. This book has made a somewhat overwhelming process very simple. I have even brought it to the grocery store with me to make sure I was staying on the right track. We have already tried several recipes out of the book and keep it on our coffee table to we can reference it on a daily basis.

I bought this book to help my husband who has inflammation issues. I myself have a gluten allergy and have been gluten free for many years. This is the first cookbook that I’ve purchased that I really LOVE. As of this writing, I’ve made 18 of theses recipes so far that are delicious. And some that I’ve already repeated. I love the fact that meat recipes are included. It’s not just for vegetarians or vegans. Most of the meat recipes are for fish and chicken, with a few for pork tenderloin, 1 ground beef and 1 steak. Also, almost every recipe is gluten free. And those that are not, have a tip to make them gluten free. For instance, swapping out regular pasta for gluten free, or gluten free toast for whole wheat. Another great feature is that all of these recipes are easy, and except for spices, have only 5 easy to find ingredients. No fancy expensive ingredients to buy. I like that the book gives you a 2week meal plan with a shopping list and an optional weekly prep guide. It’s very well laid out and easy to follow. However, because there are a few recipes with ingredients that I don’t like (beets for instance), I decided not to follow the weekly meal plans at first. Instead I picked out a few recipes I wanted to try, and kept a list of the ones that we really liked as we tried them. For the recipes we didn’t like, which were only a few, we substituted a recipe we did like. This allowed us to make our own meal plan. The beginning of this book explains inflammation and gives you a list of foods to enjoy, foods to consider with care, and foods to avoid. This book focuses on healthy fats, gluten free grains, veggies, low sugar fruits, seeds, legumes and anti-inflamatory spices like turmeric, ginger, rosemary and more.So, has it helped my husband with his inflammation issues? It sure has. He has bad shoulder issues and following this diet has given him a greater range of motion in the shoulder and a lot less pain throughout the day. For me, I’ve discovered that having less dairy (can anyone say cheese please!) has helped me feel less bloated and I’ve lost a little weight.Here are my top pros & cons.Pros:Gluten freeEasy recipes that don’t involve a lot of hard to find ingredients and are quick to makeThe book is well laid outHigh hit-rate of great tasting recipesIncludes both a recipe index and a full indexPriced rightCons:Wish it came in a spiral bound version (but mine has held up very well so far)There are some pictures but could have included moreA few of the breakfast recipes were bland, so stick to the ones you try that you like

Def a beginners guide. Not many photos. Idk I wasn’t pulled in by it like I am with other cook books.

Perfect book for ideas and information on anti-inflammatory diets for those of us with autoimmune disorders.

Not all the food items in this book are anti inflammatory just the opposite. The author neglected to add very important things that can be used In the anti inflammatory way of eating. I was very disappointed with the book and I am returning it. The author needs to do more research Before they put out a book.

Excellent cookbook! I saw the high number of great reviews so bought the cookbook. I was still pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of the recipes that are at the same time delicious. Really loving the recipes. Great educational content as well.

Everything in excellent shape and delivered with care. THANK YOU!

Dr livingood makes it simple … I love it
