This is basically the keto diet. While I found it interesting, it really didn't add to the information I already knew. I did like the recipes though. Personally I will have to pass as this type of diet aggravates my IBS.

The book is short and yet explain well. I really liked the couple first pages, the explanation, why the author was focusing on the brain and the like.
As someone who grew up watching my grandmother struggling and disappears because of Alzheimer, I truly connected with the pages who were dedicated to this cruel disease.

The How to read this book pages, tell you to read the first part of the book before starting anything, I really liked this advice. As someone with lactose allergy, I love the dairy-free promise (the author said most of the recipes are low sugar, gluten-free and most are dairy free).

Each step of this 4 weeks program are well explained, at the start of each week, the author explain what will happen and why. Then it's going on on why you something is bad for you (sugar for the first week per example) and explain to you with a deep explanation the why and how to cure it/ get better. In a warning box (yellowish colored box), there a list with what type of food to avoid and what will be part of the diet.
The next colored box, will tell you what the ideal serving is. I really liked the fact metric was used, as a non American cups measurement is difficult to follow.

The book continues like this, giving you explanations, ideas, alternative, tips and everything you need even if you don't plan on following this diet.

Then, starting page 78, the recipes appear. Calories per serving are indicated (a lot of books don't indicate those and it gives me trust issue) and it also says the proteins, carbohydrate, and fat information.
One of my biggest problem with the recipes is that I'm a visual person, I need to see what it will look like and this book almost doesn't have any recipes illustrated. Maybe one out of 6 is illustrated. It's the only negative point for me.

A great collection for any public library looking to build their cookbook collection, especially titles that caters to new and upcoming trends.
