No, make that the book I wished I'd had fifty years ago. I ate the Standard American Diet for 50+ years until my body started breaking down. My daughter was only six years old, and I wanted to see her graduate from college. For two years I read every nutrition book I could find, and the best of the best recommended EXACTLY the regimen that Christy Harden suggests. I follow Christy's diet and I've never been healthier. This friendly, helpful straight-from-the-heart book has it all: why you should shift your diet and how you can make that shift. If you want to add 20-30 years to your life, if you want to feel great, if you want build your body up with the foods that it craves instead of the toxins that tear it down -- buy Christy's book, read it, and do what she says. When you've made the shift, you'll wonder what took you so long." Karl LaFong "Absolutely love the book! Quick and easy read! Extremely helpful!
