To me, everything she said was perfect. I read this book in a couple of days. It is very well written and easy to grasp. she puts things into words so easily. This book is a must read for everyone.
This book was very informative of how animals are slaughtered. I became a vegetarian after reading this and I do feel alot better, emotionally and physically.
The next day I joined the gym and have been going ever since. Somehow this just got me going. I read this book from the library and liked it so much I bought it too. I changed my diet too. You can't lose anything that way. That was 4 months ago. I've been trying to make changes before but had a hard time.
I can't recommend this book enough. As soon as I started reading it, it made a difference in my life. I bought the book because it has recipies and alternative foods for meat eaters. It just motivated me to make some changes in my life and so easily too. It really is a great book that doesn't push you to do anything. Do what I did, get it from the library first and then buy it. :)
Freston's support of a vegan diet would have been stronger with less criticism of the meat and dairy industries. If wheat flour (gluten) and peanut butter (sugar in most varieties) are part of the ingredients of a recipe, then it is not a valid diet option. Those arguments drag what was supposed to be a move based on nutrition and personal spirituality into the political and environmental arena. The points are valid, but out of place.I also dislike that the menu suggestions and recipes repeatedly break the gluten-free rule and sometimes the sugar-free rule. And yet, a caffeine-free diet soda is, despite the damaging chemicals it contains.For someone who is only interested in the cleanse diet, open the book to the suggested shopping list, make a few notes, and put it back on the shelf. Then try the Internet for vegan recipes that can be altered to eliminate sugar and gluten.
I have always been someone who tries to take care of myself in the mental, physical, and emotional way, but I have never really recognized the true connection of the 3 until Kathy Freston's book, Quantum Wellness. I am in week 1 of her cleanse and I have truly never FELT BETTER in my entire life. Kathy talks of so many tiny things that we take for granted, since we tend to live in our routines without taking account for things, and reminds us to live consciously---in SUCH a kind and easy way. She recommends "leaning" into things and not take on too much, just what you can now, to make yourself and the world a better place. It's just too easy and too great and I am SO thankful to Kathy and this book. A must read.
