I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

From the publisher -

In this fully updated 2018 edition of The Back to Basics Diet, the popular guide to healthy and effective weight loss, author David Hack dismisses common advice to eat less and move more as well-meaning but misguided. Cutting through the hype and confusion of so many popular diets, David takes readers back to basics in terms of what we should be eating and reveals the astonishing truth about our modern diet. The Back to Basics Diet offers a straightforward explanation as to why a plant-based diet and gentle daily exercise holds the key to successful weight loss. This remarkable and proven weight loss system is based on modern science and the intriguing story of human evolution. After a fascinating journey back into our evolutionary past and a brief look at the workings of the human body, David reveals the secret of what and when to eat to ensure we lose weight and keep that weight off for life. The initial seven-week weight loss program helps readers adapt to a new, healthy lifestyle and is followed by a method that helps them stay on track after the initial change. With a two-week food template, recipes, motivational tips and some good old-fashioned common sense, this empowering book is sure to become an indispensable guide to lifelong health and permanent weight loss.

I am always interested in eating healthier meals and this book falls into that realm with its Paleo-friendly vegan diet … but this diet has not worked for me in the past. I became anemic and my IBD flared up to the point of being bed-bound for a few days while my low blood sugar crashed from the fruit recommended in the diet and the three meals only a day (as I eat six small ones and have for years!) BUT THAT WAS JUST MY EXPERIENCE … it may not be yours as the science presented seems solid and is well backed up and it could easily work for you.

I did pick up some excellent recipes to use along with foods that work for me and I think that anyone would benefit from the contents of the book and said recipes. Try it for yourself and see if it works for YOU.
