I have to admit, I was skeptical. I was a science major, have been on the up and up with human biology and nutrition for years, have been eating a plant based diet for 19 years, most of these vegan.... and the title of her first books, "Beauty" Detox Solutions, made me think that maybe this was just another pretty girl claiming to know how to transform you into a pretty girl too with the latest fad diet. However, I gave the book a chance and WOW... I mean, it was no placebo, the tweaks I made to my diet by following her guidelines did the trick to make me see an almost IMMEDIATE difference. And once you stick with it, you definitely see an immediate difference if you fall off the wagon!!! Here I am, 35 and 110lbs thinking she had nothing new to say and that I was as healthy as I could get, and I can tell you, if you are considering buying Kimberly Snyder's books, DO IT! I never realized how drained I was until I followed her diet guidelines, I didn't see how my soy latte a day was me being dependent on the highs from caffeine. I gave up coffee completely and bring my own high quality herbal tea to work now, yet I have WAY more energy than before. I'm a working single mother supporting us entirely solo, I'm starting my own business in fair trade, AND I practice yoga and am going through teacher training on the side....and believe it or not, KIMBERLY SNYDER alone is to thank for the fact that I can keep up the pace!!! I have NEVER had as much natural and consistent energy as I do now. I find it easier to stay emotionally positive, so I think her diet guidelines can also help your mood! Also, I'm no Julia Child, in fact, the running joke in my family is my lack of cooking skills, but with Kimberly's book I find it INSPIRING to prepare food, for the first time in my life!!!!
I guess I've been spoiled by compilations of raw food info that are more scientific. After reading books by Natalia Rose, Gabriel Cousins (sp?) and several long-time raw foodies, this book just wasn't very impressive.
My biggest complaint with this one is that the author gives no research. There has been plenty of cultural studies and research studies done on the benefits of raw foods. Especially in relationship to cancer prevention. But you won't see any of them in this book. The emphasis here is solely on "beauty". Not that there's anything wrong with a certain appeal to our vanity since it can motivate us towards health, but the word "beauty" and every form thereof was so redundant by chapter 3 that I found myself feeling annoyed every time my eyes crossed it on the page again.
Some of the better points of the book are that it includes both cooked and raw recipes. Some raw food purists insist on a fully raw diet, but a lot of research points that a diet of about 70% raw is excellent and anything beyond that shows diminishing returns.
She touches on some of the negatives of eating meat, such as being the by-product of consumption, but doesn't balance her information with any of the benefits of eating meat. Neither does she recommend any guidelines for what a modest intake looks like. During the "Blossoming Lotus" phase of her diet, she recommends keeping meat at 10 - 15% of your diet, but doesn't say whether that percentage is by weight, volume or calories.
She covers a bit about probiotics, but doesn't delve very deeply into the various kinds or what the benefits are of taking several strains.
Overall, she makes several claims about foods that should be eaten only rarely or in moderation, but provides no guidelines as to what that might look like.
