Ahead of the Pack on Food, Mood & Cravings

Julia Ross nails so many of the diet culprits in today's epidemic of mood problems and health woes that her book will help many people. And though we always hope that diet changes alone will work, almost all of us need to use supplements -- sometimes a lot of supplements -- to get our health problems turned around. I give her 4 stars and not 5 because the book IS a little disorganized and the science isn't always as complete or accurate as I would like. But, heck it comes close. And when this happens, she is right with her recommendation and almost so with the rationale. That's not bad given the massive amount of misinformation in the diet book world! As for for the "spotlight review" by Caroline Bertorelli featured above and the review by the anonymous "reviewer" below, I concur with what Ross says about soy. It's a real health problem and anyone who wants to know more owes it to them,selves to get a new book called "The Whole Soy Story" by Kaayla Daniel. I hope Ross finds this book too as I believe it will lead her to update her next edition with a more complete discussion. Meanwhile, I give Ross a lot of credit for recognizing this problem before most of us. She will help a lot of people with this book.

A little bit tricky, but good

I enjoyed reading this book. I've actually been seeing a nutritionist who recommends the same type of "cure": eliminate allergy foods and eat a basically lower-carb, yet healthy diet. The difference was the amino acids that are recommended in the book.

The only thing I'd change about the book is its organization. I had to read it twice before the informationed started to "compile" in my head (and on paper). I wish there was some sort of quick reference sheet.

I noticed in some of the other reviews that people had some negative side effects, mostly in the first week. My advice is to cut back on some supplementation if you feel jittery or depressed, like she recommends. Also, you have to expect some negative feeling "detox" effects. Keep going for more than a week and give it a good try.

After being on the diet for a week or so I no longer had chronic indigestion. I had more energy and my friends said I looked "bright." I really believe that there are certain "truths" to the way our bodies work, and this book has really integrated all of the good things I have experienced about different diets. Expect a lot of work, however.

It is not very easy to follow this books format.I would recommend a notebook nearby to help It is not for someone who wants an effortless fix to their problems. You do need to dedicate some time and effort to get started and be willing to make changes in your lifestyle and diet. But you see results of your efforts very quickly, some in 24 hours as the book says some take a little longer. It is a great source that you can reference as new problems creep up as your body begins to change.

Tons of information. Sometimes too much.

It can get a bit tedious at times and if you buy all the recommended supplements, you'll be spending a fortune. However, I did think the research was thorough and they had some really great points. Worth highlighting before passing along to someone.
