review 1: I have to admit, the first part of the book about food combining turned me off. I haven't researched it enough to honestly know what I believe, but I do know it isn't something I could stick to. The "No protein with starch" is a killer. BUT, after the food combining was over, she moved into explaining the importance of different foods, which foods were the best, which supplements to take and why, portion control, quoted many Drs. I agree with, etc. and I enjoyed the book more. Her food choices are a bit restrictive, no wheat, rice, dairy, sugar, etc, and I don't disagree with her, I just wouldn't follow it. Her recipes looked good and I will try a few of them, but they all tend to have the same ingredients, lettuce, Avocado, tomato, lemon juice... And her meal menu con... moresisted of the same foods, over and over. I can't do it. I need variety or I will grab cake. All in all a good book with a lot of sources and explanations, but one I personally will not follow due to lack of choices.
review 2: [‎Sunday, ‎December ‎22, ‎2013] In the mid of 2013, I discovered Kimberly Snyder, who believed in eating our way to a radiant skin, renewed energy and reaching our best potential. This book changed my life and how I view health, beauty and food. It's a must. But I think it's very hard to follow and very expensive and time consuming as well. I will try my best.As I go on reading, I noticed that Kimberly forgot that people don't just eat to survive and heal, they eat to enjoy themselves and they have favorite dishes and so on. I made an attempt to try the Glowing Green Smoothie but I couldn't stand it; until I found a local shop that makes organic healthy food and drink, I tried their green drink and I loved it. It's way lighter and more bearable to my stomach. In all honesty I'm afraid to try her recipes now, they seems so Foreign to me, the other thing is I'm Arabic, we have one of the best cuisines in the world, her food seem to have no flavor, and she doesn't eat meat.I love the concept of the food, but I'm not sure how easy it is to work it in my life. I might have to edit the recipes. less

Some great concepts but a very tricky eating plan to follow if you have a full-time life.
