5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Who Eats Should Read this Book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2016
This is an amazing book. It explains in clear, understandable language how our bodies were designed to work, and the role that our diet plays in that. I first heard of Haylie Pomroy in August 2015 and I used her regular Fast Metabolism Diet to lose 30 pounds. More importantly, I changed all my lipid scores from "heart attack about to happen" to normal after losing only the first 10 pounds. But I was particularly interested in this new book because I have an autoimmune blood disorder similar to the author's, as well as being immuno-compromised in a couple other ways. I didn't just jump to that section, however - I read it front to back and was amazed at what I learned, and I am excited to make the recommended changes in my diet.

As I've aged my immune system has become less and less reliable, and this book gives me hope that I will be able to maintain my health and vitality much longer than anticipated. But this book is also for those without serious disorders. She really shows you how many things we take for granted are actually signs that your body is trying to tell you something - and you need to figure out what it's saying! If you are taking medication for anything, you should read this book. If you need to lose weight for any reason, you should read this book. If you eat, you should read this book. It's that important.

Disclaimer: I received this book free in exchange for my completely unbiased review, however, I did buy Ms. Pomroy's three previous books from Amazon, and I have been recommending her programs to others in life my for months due to the positive changes in my life and health. She knows her stuff, and she's used it on herself and clients for over 20 years. It works. And it's simple, tasty, and cost-effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was giving up on being slim and feeling good, until this!

Life changing! I have witnessed two of my siblings follow this program. Prior to following Haylie Pomroy's plan as described in this book they were overweight and one had recently suffered from a heartattack. Today, they are heart healthy and they look and feel amazimg! This book is for those who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, get this book and heal many ailments (side effect, loose unwanted pounds) by what you eat, and you get to eat a lot! I know this because I have just started on this journey recently and even though I have a thyroid condition I am already noticing weight loss and more energy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE for your Medicine Cabinet!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2016
A MUST HAVE for your medicine cabinet! After losing 90 pounds with Haylie's book The Fast Metabolism Diet, and keeping my inflammation in check with her book The BURN, she releases Fast Metabolism Food Rx. In this book, she reaches out to you, brings you into her clinic and world, letting you know everything is going to be okay, that you are not alone (all in the first 2 chapters). She walks you thru everything start to finish, even how to talk to your doctor (which we all know can be frustrating at times). Suffering from autoimmune myself, my body was screaming for help, I decided to follow the autoimmune prescription. I thought The BURN was amazing, this Rx in a matter of weeks has given me a new perspective on how I eat, and how to treat my autoimmune. This is the ONLY prescription I need! The best thing about this book for me; it isn't just autoimmune! It addresses fatigue, mood, diabetes, cholesterol, hormones and G.I, and we all know someone in our lives, a loved one, who is suffering from one of these issues. It is time to put this book in the hand of everyone you know; family and friends. They all deserve to feel this TERRIFIC! So clean out your medicine cabinet and make room for Fast Metabolism Food Rx...It is time to HEAL and not DEAL!

4.0 out of 5 stars Owner's Guide to Body Repair
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2016
This book is the revelation I have been waiting for. First let me state that I was on the Fast Metabolism Diet, and although there is some cross over this plan is more sustainable and realistic. I also love the tone that Haylie chose for this book which is more about repair and nourishment than just loosing weight. I held off giving it the full five stars however, because I think that Haylie hedged her bets a bit by asking the reader to write down their ideal outcomes. Do I believe this is life changing? Yes. But I think that setting expectations deprives you of fully engaging with the process of healing your body for no other reason than your body deserves to be cherished.

5.0 out of 5 stars but I knew that wasn't the best. Medicines only mask symptoms
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016
I was desperate for a solution to my diabetes. I've had it for about 20 years. My health practitioner wanted to put me on medicine for it, but I knew that wasn't the best. Medicines only mask symptoms, they don't cure the problem.

I began the Haylie's program on March 7th. It took a bit of getting used to, as I am vegetarian and have some food allergies. Now it is second nature to eat healthy and regularly.

My blood sugars have gone from 165 or higher in the mornings down to 100 on April 7th. My lowest reading was today (4/21) with a before meal reading of 89.

I am MORE than delighted. IF a person does exactly what Haylie prescribes in her book, they can get healthier meal by meal. I am also losing weight and my blood pressure is going down into a healthy range as well. I can't be happier and intend to stick with this program as long as I live and am able to get the healthy food that makes it all possible.
