Do losing weight and remaining healthy seem like a struggle? It's actually the exact opposite of a battle. Your adversaries are your own genes, which are backed through millions of centuries of development and the only winning strategy is to beat them. A renowned surgeon and the creator of Gundry MD Dr. Steven Gundry's book divulges the secrets of health that other doctors don't divulge:
* The reason plant products have to be "good" for you because they're "bad" for you, and meat is "bad" because it's "good" for you.
* Why a plateau in this diet could be an indication that you're definitely on the right path
The reason artificial sweeteners cause the same effect as sugar for your overall health as well as your waistline
* Why taking antacidsand statins, as well as medications to treat high blood pressure and arthritis hides health problems instead of dealing with them
Along with the meal plan along with the 70 delicious recipes and inspiring stories Dr. Gundry's simple-to-remember tips will help you stay healthy and on the right track.

I lost over 80 lbs using this method, and I have kept it off for over 4 years now. Initiall it was tricky to let go of crappy snack food, but at first I lost a pound a day for over two weeks! Staying true to 'no sugar' and using nuts to keep my body from eating my muscles kept the weigh coming off steadily. My initial weight loss goal was 175 lbs and I ended up at 147 lbs and in total shock! (I started around 228)
You have to read the entire book before you start, it took me months to prepare to begin my lifestyle change. This plan is much easier to start in the late fall/winter time. The no fruit was hard at first, but I added berries and tomatoes back in as soon as I could. I still continue to not eat fruit for a period of time each winter. I started this after years of yo yo diets. But once I began eating this way, I could not go back to processed chemical food. I now consider myself a purist. I honestly maintain this lifestyle using a lot of trim healthy mama recipes now. They are (almost) in line with Dr Gundrys ideas, they are sugar/gluten free sisters from New Zealand.
In the world of epigenetics, Dr. Gundrys book is the best approach in the business. Cancer feeds on sugar, and this approach is a great way to rebuild your body as a fighter. Dr Gundry has personally answered many emails from me, and supported me using this with my Autistic son.
I truly hope to be the woman in the first chapter of his book. I look younger now than I did 10 years ago and I weight less than I did on high school. This book helped me become a smart food consumer.

I'm a vegetarian. I read this book on the recommendation of a friend. I did the diet for awhile, lost four pounds and was disappointed, although my skin looked good and my energy level went up. I don't have a lot of weight to lose--maybe 18 lbs--but I felt like a lump of toneless blubber. Back fat. Front fat. A waist less torso. Then I started listening to the podcasts and found out I wasn't eating enough fat and the sugar free treats I allowed myself were getting in the way. Not to mention the cashews, which were my go-to snack. Said "oh, well, this isn't working" and ate pizza and peanut butter and jelly for a couple of weeks. Then I watched dr. Gundry's videos on YouTube. Uh oh. Got myself some ketosticks, and went back to it with a vengeance, ditching tomatoes and lectin-heavy foods.i carry around olive oils to drizzle on pretty much everything. Stocked up on Mikey's ketogenic pizza bases, bitchin sauce and avocados. All of a sudden, everything works. I've lost 9 pounds in a week and a half. Pants are fitting. Ketosticks are reliably purple. I'm taking the right supplements and cravings are almost all gone. I'll check back in in a couple of months when my bloodwork is done but I'm pretty convinced that this is the answer to a lot of health and weight issues. No brain fog. Give this a try. Do it hard. Get the sticks. If you're not a vegetarian, it's easier for sure. But I'm doing great and can't wait to get on the scale every morning. Try this for a snack: bake a Mikey's ketogenic pizza crust until it's kinda crunchy. Smear it thickly with chipotle Bitchin Sauce (which would make cat food taste good) put some smashed avocado on that, salt and pepper, then some chopped onion or scallions and a serious sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. It will set you free, is what I'm saying.

The Plant Paradox answers questions left from Diet Evolution
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018
This is Dr. Gundry’s first book. Although he was not in favor of soy beans or any other bean, his editor for the then New, untried author, who was a vegetarian and lived soy insisted that he recommend soy or no one would buy the book. The new book addresses these apparent contradictions, which were confusing and there has been many years of research and changes made from the first book. I live the program and have found many positive changes in my blood glucose, weight, and mental clarity. I’m 71 years old and I’d like to live a long healthy life and die young as Dr. Gundry advocates. I’m sorry that some people didn’t understand or were confused by the changes over time, but I would prefer to get advice from someone who admits errors and makes changes to reflect greater understanding than someone who refuses to change because it might hurt the sales of his previous books and videos.

Dr. Gundry's Evolution Diet worked for me.
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2018
The advice given by Dr. Gundry, if followed, will work for most people. It is very rare, in this world of "Snake Oil" salesman, that one can find someone who his committed to really helping people lose weight and improve their health. I have read many reviews that give Dr. Gundry's organization very bad ratings. I don't know what they were expecting, maybe to take a couple of pills and instantly lose lots of weight. It's not that easy but it sure worked for me. I wasn't very overweight but had gained about 20 pounds over what I weighed when I was much younger and in very good physical condition. I've lost that 20 pounds and my last physical (annual wellness physical) required by Medicare showed me to be in excellent health. Blood pressure normal, Cholesterol HDL/LDL readings normal, all other readings normal...and at 83 years young, I feel great.

Great Book. Highly Recommend for a "Healthier" life.
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017
I recommend this book to anyone that exercises on a regular basis, eats foods that are called "healthy" as taught to the general public and still can't lose weight. I would get sick after eating so called "healthy" foods and couldn't figure it out. Dr Gundry knows what he is doing. My wife also felt a little over weight, while I started experiencing back problems. Couldn't understand what we were doing wrong. We bought both Dr. Gundry's books "Diet Evolution" and "Plant Paradox". My wife has lost 20 lbs. and I lost 40 lbs. in 7 weeks. Still going for more as our body's were both messed up with so called "health" foods that were really junk. Really good books if you can't lose weight and you feel you're doing every you can to do it. Also, we have more energy than we've ever had before. Dr. Gundry has a step by step process that really works.

I'm having a hard time with the content
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019
I can't say that I've tried Dr. Gundry's diet to see if it works. I'm having a hard time with the fact that this man worked at Loma Linda University and can say that plants like beans, peas and legumes are bad for you. Loma Linda University pioneered a vegetarian diet (followed by Seventh-day Adventists) that has proven to aid in not only longevity but also in the lowest incidents of cancer and heart disease. I would want to read a lot more about the research by other doctors and scientists before I could jump on their band wagon.

You have NEVER heard anything like the stuff in Dr. G's diet book...ever
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018
This is a seriously deep book, but written with such a sweet sense of humor that it is surprisingly easy to read. Before you start reading, open your mind and look around at the obesity problem that is out of control today, it will help you to ingest his facts and take notes. I am 64 yrs old and have had a knee and hip replacement from running marathons. I am extremely healthy and strong, happy and active and yet cannot loose the 30lbs that have crept on over the last 30 years. I ordered his vitamins and this book, listened to two of the lectures he makes available and made only two changes in my diet. I lost 3 lbs the first week. I wake up hungry and eat lots of food all day, so fun...can't wait to finish the book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2018
This is a no gimmick plan for healthy eating. The idea is genius. I lost weight, and kept it off. I did eventually start back with my bad habits (my own fault), and did start to gain weight back, BUT it took much longer than normal. Prep, prep, prep for your meals, have healthy food on hand. Delish. Very good to add the vital reds to meal plan too.

Very well written, and a treasure trove of make sense advice to regain your health and lose weight! I recommend this book to everyone I know! I am living proof this plan works. I began on 11/30/17 at 190+lbs and am still going. As of 8/28/18 I am down to 139.6!! I frequently reread sections of this book to solidify my understanding of the rules and also to resfresh motivation. My copy is covered with highlighters! Let me share these facts: Im a post menopausal 52 year old female. Ive had weight issues my whole life,so I have gone on many diets and lost big amounts of weight quite a few times. I was at the point where weight wa not coming off anymore. I ate emotionally too. I was addicted to sugar and fast food. As i read this book I thought, I wish so badly I could do it, but feared failure due to my ravenous and out of control appetite. I began this, plan at 4 pm in the afternoon on Nov 30th 2017. Something amazing happens in the first few days if you just follow it ...cravings reallt do die down and you really do begin to feel better. Weight really fell off the first two weeks! I could not believe I was able to stick to this plan or that weight was really coming off, and when you see that hsppening it motivates you more. Ive made this my way of life now. I follow this plan close to phase I the majority of the time.At least one day a week I fast. And probably once every two weeks Ill have a splurge.if its just a treat or an all out cheat day, but then I feel nausiated because junk food does not agree with me anymore because Ive gotten so accustome to healthy food. I cannot rave enough about this book! If I can lose over 50 lbs and keep it off, anyone can because I was out of control eating junk with a,stalled out metabolism!!! Dr. Gundry is a genious and changed my life. It feels so good to wear jeans i bought 10 years ago, size 2, and just feel and look so lean!!

But with a plan in place it makes food choices easier to make.

This is a very interesting book, turning modern eating on its head. Dr. Gundry is very good at explaining his points, without being academic. He is a cardiologist who is trying to put himself out of business. I didn't end up following his diet, but went to Whole30 instead, which is very similar. Overall, very educational and easy to read. Worth the information, even if you only adapt portions of it.
