I have read a lot of positive reviews on the plant paradox book and I am going to order it. I have autoimmune disorders and hope the diet will help. Are there a lot of recipes in the book?
The irony is that a "peanut" is not a nut, it's a bean. Peanuts and peanut butter are one of the things I've given up completely after reading Plant Paradox and I loved peanut butter a lot.
I don't eat peanut butter because it has a lot of carbs and some added sugar.
I tried some sugar free peanut butter and it was not good.
The Plant Paradox is a book that makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims. If you try it and like the way it makes you feel and can adopt this eating style forever, then by all means do it. I would not however do this diet and expect to not get any of the ailments this diet claims to prevent.

There's a Plant Paradox Facebook group that has recipes and there are some in the book as well. My wife has an idea to develop more recipes.

As I mention for me, following the diet reversed my diabetes back to normal range, taken my "beer gut" from gross to flat, my weight from borderline obese to in the perfect BMI range for my height, reduced my bodyfat to 10% and muscle mass to over 45%, reduced my cholesterol significantly, taken triglyceriedes number to ideal and yes, it has also made me feel good.
The claims made in the book to cure so many diseases are extraordinary and I can only speak about what has happened to me but if one had the diseases Dr. Gundry said this diet cures, why would you not try it?

I hope you get great results!!
Thank you. I can give up bread no problem but not sure what else I will need to eliminate. Also, I am not a big vegetable eater which I think is the core of the diet.
I shall wait for the book to arrive and see if I can give the diet a whirl.

There's a lot of information you learn but he says what you don't eat is more important than what you do eat. Grains and beans are big no's. There are different phases that you can go hard core which I did at first but now I'm healed and relaxed and only eat about 60% what is recommended so I need to do better actually.
Another core principle is reduce your meat consumption and increase your good fats. For meat, any wild caught seafood is good, grass fed meat is fine.
About dairy, it's complicated but you will need to make sure the dairy is Casein A2 and not A1 protein.

Because I do not believe eliminating food groups is sustainable.
This doctor is trying to sell books first and foremost and his claims as I said before are unsubstantiated. There is no peer reviewed evidence that gives his claims relevance.
It worked for you and that is great. Chances are if you ate a healthy diet of whole fresh foods and exercised you would have the same results.

Nope, I tried eating a healthy diet of whole fresh foods and exercised and ended up with diabetes before I ate the diet proscribed in The Plant Paradox. I tried many diets that all gave poor results until this one. As far as sustainability, so far it's been 16 months and it's been easy to maintain for me admittedly, I'm only about 60 compliant now although I try to stick to the base principles.
So far we can divide the group into 2 on the subject of the book, those that haven't tried it and and are skeptics and those that do the diet and are getting awesome results...unless anyone has actually done it and didn't get great results?
Eh, go with what works for you, I suppose. I don't particularly care to follow such restrictive diets, definitely not for life. I'm 43, so I have quite a few years left and wouldn't want to spend them not eating things I love, particularly beans, nuts, and grains. Beans have fiber, iron, protein...and for many vegetarians, that's a great option in lieu of meat. I just don't understand the drastic cutting of so many things all in the name of losing weight.
My thin friends don't buy into all that stuff, why is it that overweight people should? My friend, 70 years old, thin as a rail, largely eats what she likes. Her secret is pretty dang simple. She eats half the food when she goes out to lunch with me and eats the remaining half for dinner. She eats one or two tops of chocolate. She walks on her treadmill at 5 am daily.
