I started reading it&#8230;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fjallravenkankensale.me.uk\/\">fjallraven kanken uk<\/a> and then gave it back to her the next day. It was just too much.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xavy.fr\/acheter-chaussures-nike.html\">acheter chaussures nike<\/a> While I have no doubt these ladies have done their research, I didn&#8217;t want to spend that much time thinking about my food! Move ahead to fall 2015 and I see that Serene and Pearl have put out a new edition of the book. It seems to be much less &#8220;wordy&#8221; and more helpful. The plan, however, is not that &#8220;easy&#8221; really and you can tell that, not just from getting the book but from a quick glance at all the blogs, websites and facebook groups out there where women everywhere are asking questions about what type of meal they&#8217;re eating, &#8220;is this on plan&#8221; etc. Face it ladies&#8230;this is still a DIET whether they want to call it that or not.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fjallravenkankenoutlet.me.uk\/fjallraven-kanken-classic.html\">Fjallraven Kanken Classic Sale<\/a> The S, Fp and E designations still take some brain power and as I said before, I just don&#8217;t want to spend that much time thinking about my food. This book does have some &#8220;in a nutshell&#8221; sections that seem to condense all that into bite sized snippets that help us &#8211; lazy dieters &#8211; to get the gist of the plan and follow it a bit. I hope! But I do appreciate that they allow almost everything in moderation. Almost. No sugar. None. Their section on sweeteners is frustrating.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fjallravenkankenuk.me.uk\/k-aring-nken-mini-uk.html\">Kanken Mini UK<\/a> I realize they have a great love for stevia, for obvious reasons, but for those of us who have tried it &#8211; I mean really tried it &#8211; and can&#8217;t take it (both the taste and what it does to my digestion) there are really NO other options. I was happy to see they&#8217;ve said a LITTLE honey is ok in this book. Everywhere else I&#8217;ve looked honey is seen as evil. But again, in all the recipes I&#8217;ve seen in these books and online, stevia is the savior ingredient. Blech.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fjallravenkankenuk.me.uk\/\">Fjallraven Kanken Backpacks<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1101902663\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1101902663&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=funevents4gir-20&amp;linkId=4DPJBN3UPX3PAGNL\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1101902663&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=funevents4gir-20\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=funevents4gir-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1101902663\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>The other frustrations &#8211; the book is really wordy AND there aren&#8217;t recipes. You have to purchase a separate book for that.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alter48.fr\/\">nike femme pas cher<\/a> Just be prepared. While initially I was excited to see this version was quite a bit cheaper than the first book, you have to purchase the recipe book to really get the whole benefit, so you&#8217;re spending just as much this time around. Keep that in mind when you&#8217;re considering getting an older version a friend, thrift store or second hand book shop. Might be worth getting the used older book first to see if you even like the plan for yourself. Bottom line, would I recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1101902639\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1101902639&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=funevents4gir-20&amp;linkId=D4ISUONLPF3MEP7W\" target=\"_blank\">this book<\/a> and this plan? Probably yes. I&#8217;ve known too many people who follow it who it&#8217;s helped and, in general, these ladies have taken the time and energy to back up what they&#8217;re saying with good research. Plus they&#8217;ve been practicing what they preach for years prior to publishing. That says a lot. <em>I received the paperback of this book in exchange for an honest review of the book. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always appreciated Nancy Campbell&#8217;s ministry and her family&#8217;s contribution to that has been tremendous. nike air max pas cher I always read with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[596],"tags":[941,942],"class_list":["post-5048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adult-book-reviews","tag-trim-healthy-mama-book","tag-trim-healthy-mama-cookbook"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5048"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5780,"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5048\/revisions\/5780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parentingzoo.com\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
