About this audiobook
Science is beginning to understand that our thinking has a deep and complicated relationship with our eating. Our thoughts before, during, and after eating profoundly impact our food choices, our digestive health, our brain health, and more. Yet most of us give very little thought to our food beyond taste and basic nutritional content.
In this revolutionary book, Dr. Caroline Leaf packs an incredible amount of information that will change readers' eating and thinking habits for the better. Rather than getting caught up in whether we should go raw or vegan, gluten-free or paleo, Leaf shows readers that every individual is unique, has unique nutritional needs, and has the power to impact their own health through the right thinking. There's no one perfect solution. Rather, she shows us how to change the way we think about food and put ourselves on the path towards health.
Anyone who is tired of traditional diet plans that don't work, who struggles with emotional eating, or who simply isn't satisfied with their level of health will find in this book the key to discovering how they can begin developing a healthier body, brain, and spirit.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Exhausting reading all the Bible verses. This is not the Bible, it’s a book about food/eating

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I can summarize what I learned from this book: avoid modern American diet, read the Bible, eat natural unprocessed food that God intended for us, exercise , eat when you're hungry and not emotionally charged , cook and eat with others.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5"When you tell a lie you steal someone's right to the truth."
Felt more like a biblical class or a religious book than a nutrition book. This material is wrong in so many ways I won't even start to talk about it. First of all I thought this was a book about vegan nutrition. The cover tricked me too. Authors, please, if your book promotes eating meat and animal products like eggs and dairy, put those on the damn cover! Wait, I know... a piece of "whole" bloody meat is not esthetic on your cover... lol
And since when is meat a whole food? It's anything but whole.. it's actually a part. A part of a dismembered poor animal. So please... stop talking to us from a place of holiness and cite from the bible, you are so far from the truth. You are killing people with your ignorance. I have nothing against people that want to eat meat. I have nothing against books that promote that kind of nutrition and lifestyle. Do you brother. But at least put some bacon, some eggs and dairy on your cover. And if you don't know anything about nutrition as you admited, refrain from spreading this nonsense about the "holy spirit" guiding you to eat "whole" meats and dairy.. please, it's just ridiculous and offensive.2 people found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Boring ?... nothing new to learn l did not like it at all
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was very informative, but it threw too much emphasis into the authors religion. Considering this is a food book it was rather unnecessary.
