The Pegan Weight loss plan: 21 Sensible Ideas for Reclaiming Your Well being in a Nutritionally Complicated World (The Dr. Mark Hyman Library, 10)

Soul Searching for a New Me
If you are looking for a diet book, look elsewhere. Mark Hyman offers a common sense, well researched, and not afraid to call it like it is approach to eating. I first ran into his work about 3-4 years ago after receiving abnormal lab reports…my liver enzymes were out of whack and I was so tired that I needed five 8 oz cups of morning coffee just to function each day. In my mid-50s at the time, I was mentally and physically exhausted and ready to call it a day by 3:00 p.m. I was not overweight and followed religiously what I thought was a great diet based on medically sound books from the 1990s which I discovered were now sorely outdated. An alternative medicine doc locally told to me get off of wheat and that was Step 1 in the right direction. Within 48 hours of doing so, I didn’t even need coffee to get going, but I was still wiped out and doing some serious soul searching for a new me. A couple of days later, my wife and I were panning through new books at Costco. She pointed to books that she thought I might enjoy reading. I bought both of them. One of them was Food: What The Heck Should I Eat? (Hyman, 2018). That book grossly altered the way that we now think about food. (Dale Bredesen’s The End of Alzheimer’s was the other book…another excellent, different sort of read.)The Pegan Diet is a continuation of Food: What The Heck Should I Eat? – more common sense, more updates. I highly recommend both books. Three years or so after first adopting Hyman’s “farmacy” and “food is medicine” philosophy, my only wish is that we had more medical practitioners just like him. Dr. Hyman is bold, unapologetic, and very practical in what he writes. I have since read and incorporated several of his works into my daily routine. Although I continue to age, I now feel at least 20 years younger. My brain is sharp, I have amazing energy, and I no longer crash in the middle of the day. I cannot say enough!

Good info; recipes could be improved
Educational with some very good information. It would be better with recipes that use more “conventional” ingredients. Many of these would require that I drive a couple hours to get to a market that sells these esoteric ingredients.

The Pegan Diet — it’s a lifestyle!!
Dr. Hyman’s “The Pegan Diet” book is very informative! You will NOT be disappointed with this purchase. As Dr. Hyman quickly noted, “the Pegan Diet is an un-diet — a simple set of principles blending science and common sense into guidelines promoting health, weight loss, and longevity…” I’ve listen to Dr. Hyman’s advise on healthy eating and applied it to my life for years. I’ve read a lot of health books and a ton of health and fitness articles by reputable doctors and nutritionists. If you are serious about good health — start here, start now!! This book has ALL the fundamentals and then some. Get this book and follow his recommendations. Stay healthy!!

Easy to Read Information for Eating Healthy
This book has lots of information on which types of foods to eat that are healthy. I don’t believe in diets, so to speak, usually they come and go. Dr.Hyman’s book explains that eating healthy is a life style change. I recently had heart surgery and eating more vegetables, fruits and nuts has been enjoyable. One of the changes for a healthy diet is eliminating processed foods. You can do it!

Easy to understand . A reference book .

La verdad que ha sido un cambio radical desde que he leído este libro (junto con Young forever). Soy vegetariana así que sigo la dieta que propone con alguna adaptación. Desde que introduje los polifenoles y puse coto a los alimentos con alto índice glucémico, he mejorado muchísimo en ciertas cuestiones. Recomendable

Como sempre os livros do dr Mark Hyman são puro ensinamentos
