    1. This is a 21 day elimination diet which I completed with a few tweaks.My goals were are to lose 10 difficult to get rid of pounds, reduce or eliminate my diet coke addiction and reduce my snacking My tweaks to the diet 1 I combined the three sugar free days with the 3 caffeine free days My only source of caffeine was Diet Coke and therefore when diet drinks were eliminated in the sugar free days, it automatically eliminated my caffeine source I did however find it interesting that the book assum [...]

    2. This is an elimination diet that proposes to reset hormones to support weight loos and maintenance of a healthy weight The diet is a modified paleo diet However, the author makes some claims that weren t backed up For instance, she says to stop eating red meat because of modern agricultural practices, but it s okay to eat chicken, which is just as bad Now, if it s okay to eat a free range chicken, then why isn t okay to eat grass fed beef or pastured pork She doesn t even address those issues Th [...]

    3. The basic premise of this diet is low carb, high fiber, high protein, high vegetable consumption a pound a day You cycle through periods of removing certain foods for three days meat, dairy, fruit, etc It encourages exercise, meditation, moderation Is this diet healthier than the average fast food eating, overweight American s diet Yes However, don t kid yourself this is a diet of deprivation and I wonder at the will power of its followers If someone can work through its steps for three weeks, w [...]

    5. Dr Gottfried is a staple of the podcasting sphere so when I saw this at th library I decided to give it a read Not a big fan of the way it was written and the info is presented elsewhere much clearly it really like a big, long blog post.

    6. I ve done her reset before and the science is sound The book has parts that are a little too new agey for me, but overall I think it s a great book So many women s hormones are out of whack and doctors are slow to understand that it s not normal to age this way Dr Sara is a Godsend

    7. I was interested in this book because there isn t a lot out there about hormones and their relationship to weight gain loss I didn t find any earth shattering information in there as the author basically walks people through a series of dietary and lifestyle changes that are well known for increasing health If someone is completely new to eating whole foods or a healthy lifestyle then following the routine in this book will probably help them What I didn t like She is quick to remind you that sh [...]

    8. To me, this book seemed like an infomercial for a special diet for each toxin in your life, to buy Dr Sara s fiber, or her protein powder, OR her bar, ie health bar I didn t learn anything new from this book and the only thing I liked about it was the self assessment sections for each chapter for each topic toxin meat, sugar, fruit, caffeine, grain, dairy and toxins themselves Follow each special diet and you ll heal your metabolism But it s ont a diet I d follow because I m not going to buy her [...]

    9. I saw this book on a Christian Network that my husband and I love I was watching the host, he s a health advocate make some funny faces as she explained the diet I wish I had paid attention to his expressions If you are a perfectly healthy young woman on no meds at all then maybe you can try this After I bought it on my Kindle, I found that as a post menopausal woman on replacement hormones I do not qualify for this diet I also found that her explanation of how easy it was to follow a joke It re [...]

    10. I m surprised how many people have rated this book low without actually trying the reset diet I tried it and did the very easy elimination diet to the T except for drinking a glass of wine in the final days I lost 4 lbs in three weeks and lost inches in my waist which is my trouble zone and is usually the last place for me to take off weight Her information is similar to another book I love, Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life I was surprised to find that most of my cravings fell away as I [...]

    11. This book had a lot of good interesting information Some parts got a little weird with meditation, etc However I believe this would reset your body and would help an individual find their specific food struggle and which hormone might be out of balance.

    12. I LOVED THIS BOOK It clearly explains what each hormone barrier is, why it has gotten out of whack, what must be done to rehabilitate it, and why Each step is laid out in full for examination and IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE I totally devoured this book in the space of two days, and can hardy wait to get started on the program, for both myself and my husband I borrowed the book from the library, but before I was finished reading it, I had bought a copy for myself While listening to it, to the desc [...]

    13. It s a good read but it is essentially an elimination diet plus some mind body exercises I liked how Sara linked each food groups chemicals to the different hormones However I found the guide what to do exactly is not detailed enough For someone who reads a lot health, wellness and nutrition books it is just a repeat of other books.

    15. I am in the middle of the 21 DAY reset I don t know about weight loss but my blood sugars have been in range The book offers a lot of good information about the 7 hormones that affect women s bodies.

    16. Dr Sara seems well intentioned It actually took me a few chapters to realize that what she was recommending was basically to cut out everything except vegetables Just cut out meat, dairy, sugar, grains, fruit and caffeine and you will lose weight Wait What does that leave Vegetables Then, you have to be careful seasoning those vegetables because there could be chemicals in the seasonings Also, the vegetables should be organic To be fair, I did try her advice and I know she recommends trying each [...]

    17. I thoroughly enjoyed this book It s full of great information and I felt a difference for several of the resets with my body I had already been very particular with my eating habits which made this process very easy to follow There is no pill to change your life If you follow this program and then go back to unhealthy eating, you ll just cause your issues to return Your health is based on what you do don t do as well as what you do don t eat Your health is up to you and no one else.For anyone st [...]

    18. Meh Good ideas with little research backing it up I m completely up for something like this, just disappointed by the reentry section basically pushing folks back to meat, fairy, grains, etc Not a philosophical page in this books body.

    19. Old diet tricks wrapped up in a new package Nothing revolutionary or enlightening.Anyone and I mean ANYONE will lose weight by eliminating sugar, alcohol and meat from their diet for 21 days That s not all, Sara Gottfried also encourages readers to move , walk and find other social activities besides emotional eating Then wraps it all up stating this is a hormonal issue rather than lifestyle issues.Many of the recipes have been borrowed from vegan bloggers In addition, at least one meal a day i [...]

    20. Screwed up biochemistry is the reason we can t lose weight, are stressed, and don t sleep well The solution is to reset 7 different hormones by eliminating basically everything from your diet Dr Gottfried repeatedly states that she is a scientist and approaches this diet with scientific research and while there are many references, she makes MANY claims without siting any scientific studies For example, what evidence is there that dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system There are many inst [...]

    21. If you re a moderator and can t stand cold turkey approaches, you might really like this book The author s premise is that hormones are involved in our ability or inability to lose weight, and so she suggests that you target seven of these critical hormones with what winds up as a cumulative elimination diet.As an abstainer who is also a questioner, I had a hard time with this If I need to eliminate dairy, why would I wait until Day 16 to eliminate it If I need to eat alkaline foods, shouldn t [...]

    22. This read like an elimination diet than like a book that would help you better understand your hormones and their effects on you Of course elimination diet grain free, sugar free, fruit free etc that then promotes slow re introduction of foods can help you feel better and learn things about your body But I picked up this books in the hopes of understanding how hormones are affected by food choices and what some of my symptoms can mean about my hormones I found this book a bit frustrating to re [...]

    23. This book is excellent and I believe can be of major benefit to all women no matter what stage they are in life pre or post menopausal I have been sugar free for just over a week along with being a vegan and I can attest to the fact that my cravings are now GONE I have struggled with binge eating disorder relentlessly since 1983 when I was a young 22 year old college girl, and now at 55, I am finding freedom A clean diet, no caffeine, meditation and prayer, connection to nature, veganism and usi [...]

    24. Lots of useful information in this book I am so glad that I received it in a Goodread Giveaway I was able to pull so much useful information from this book I am going to put a lot of it into use I did like how the author assigned each of the food groups into different hormones Also makes clear how important it is to eliminate toxic foods from your diet In summery her theory of weight loss is one of a reset theory It is not just about weight loss alone, but also a method to get energy, sleep bet [...]

    25. The Hormone Reset Dietby Dr Sara GottfriedGreat book This book provides a dietary approach and is a natural continuation of her first book, The Hormone Cure Since I have also been trained as a Hormone Cure Coach, I am biased to her writings and research Since I have a medical background I appreciate her scientific based approach having been trained in Western medicine Her transition to holistic, functional medicine is based upon her research and experience which make her a reliable source.

    27. It makes sense to me I eat very healthy and exercise regularly yet the moment I hit 50 bam She explains some of the science behind it all recommends a 21 day experiment to see if it helps I will try it I am confident it will help Only three stars because I will have to give up coffee wine When I do finally give it my all succeed I will up the stars

    30. Too much telling, not enough showing I didn t like the tone of the book Soy and shakes are not optimal for Hashimoto s despite her claims to the contrary.
