Publisher's summary

After years on a high carbohydrate diet, intense running sessions, struggling with an eating disorder, and feeling the throes of anxiety and depression, Michelle knew she needed to make a change. Does the “One size fits all” food pyramid work for everyone? Are there other options, such as a low carbohydrate or Ketogenic diet that may mitigate our risk for metabolic illness and restore us to health? Could this way of eating reverse diabetes, alleviate depression, pave the way to heal eating disorders, allow us to age gracefully, and prevent heart disease? Why as a nation is our health failing, and why aren’t the nutrition guidelines updating with the science?

Registered dietitian, Michelle Hurn, dives in and offers easy-to-understand information while covering the latest research and clinical studies. In addition, personal testimonies and actionable next steps offer hope and inspiration for you on your health journey.

Refreshing

Dr. Annette Boz recommended this book and wow. So inspiring to hear an author present her own story and share the ups and downs and also the realities of the medical industry. Nutritionists created the food pyramid that just made us sick. Having a family that’s gone through so many illness and having doctors just prescribe medicine, makes you realize that There has to be something more. Thank you for a terrific book. I’ll be reading it again and again. Absolutely great information.

A lesson for everyone

I’ve been following Michelle on social media for awhile. I have played around with the animal based diet as well. Michelle really breaks down the pros and cons of what foods do to your system. I can’t wait to really dive into this with my ultra training as well.

I wish everyone would read this book.

I wish everyone would read this book with an open mind. You may not agree with everything but it will certainly make you want to look more into the research about a proper human diet.

A compelling read

Love that it was narrated by the author, which makes the content come alive. Was expecting a book on keto, and was surprised to learn about Michelle’s journey to carnivore. A beautiful heart, wrenching story of reclaiming one’s health. A must read for every dietitian! From a fellow Dietitian.

Pure awesomeness

Michelle does a great job simplifying diseases and how a low carb/high fat diet can benefit so many. good examples and hilarious analogies to make the science against carbs easier to understand!

Good read for athletes

The information in this book is applicable to everyone, but especially to those people who are athletic and wish to remain in top form for competition. There is also a lot hope and information for those that are recovering from various eating disorders.
The pronunciation of some of the words in the narration is distracting, but it doesn’t detract for the information given.

Finally Diet Truth

I concur with the author about the carnivore diet, how the American food choices got screwed up to being the opposite of what humans need to thrive, and how the medical system perpetuates poor diet and drugs.
Although she conveyed her information well, it was difficult to listen to her monotone, child-like voice; she should have hired a narrator.
