2 years ago I decided to follow this guide and much to my surprise, my husband decided to join me. I have eaten pretty close to this diet all my life, and definitely feel so much better and more clear on an anti-inflammatory diet but OMG the changes for him were dramatic. His skin changed very quickly. Not that it was bad but it became so smooth. The itchiness he always felt in his ears, (weird, right?), went away. His joints stopped hurting, which he had just attributed to getting older. His appetite grew smaller. And he grew smaller. And it was easy. The recipes are so good that we both felt enriched instead of restricted. Since then we have stayed on an anti-inflammatory diet. If we ever stray, like during the holidays, we can definitely feel it and look forward to getting back on track and feeling good again.
