Book Reviews of Master Your Metabolism: The 3 Diet Secrets to Naturally Balancing Your Hormones for a Hot and Healthy Body!
Book Review: Excellent book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really opened my eyes. Very informative....I was not one to buy organics EVER. After reading her book and learning about the damaging pesticides and additives, I am looking for organic and reading labels more than I ever have. Excellent book, highly recommend it! Book Review: Full of Helpful Information
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book to help understand what I need to do---outside of exercise---to live a healthier life.
This book did not disappoint.
It contained some of the "standard" information (don't skip breakfast EVER, do not eat carbs before bed, etc), but it went farther than that and explained how our health is affected by our environment (things we can and can't control). Like, for instance, it was quite a shock to find out that the preservative used on our vegetables during transit (argon gas) is also used to euthanize dogs. Very unsettling.
The book also explained how to read the "numbers" on our vegetable and fruit stickers in order to tell which vegetables are conventionally grown, organically grown or genetically engineered. I also discovered that by cooking broccoli in the microwave instead of on the stove, 90% of the Vitamin C will be retained.
This is just a small portion of the info in the book. At times, yes, the book seems to get "too organically-minded" for my own taste, but overall the book offers some eye-opening information about making healthier choices, and that was all I wanted to begin with.

Jillian Michaels needs to get into the real world. People work, sit at desks all day and have serious budget issues. In order to follow her meal plan you need to be someone who stays at home and have no budget issues. I returned the book because I could not do her meal plan. I am interested in eating more organics and always try to eat as healthy as I can. If we could get people to demand more organically grown food maybe the price would go down and we would all be in better health and better shape. The people in the real world need to know how to shop better for healthy food and you began the education process with this book but if it is impossible for the masses to follow a plan then it fails to be useful. Jillian come to the real world and do some real world makeovers with realistic meal plans. What you have to say is very very important. Book Review: Not Her Best
Summary: 3 Stars
There's simply too much wrong information in this book to give it an excellent review. For instance, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is listed as a hereditary disorder when it's an autoimmune condition. Hormones are indeed tricky business and Jillian Michaels doesn't have the background to be writing about them.
