Has anyone changed their diet and become a vegan after reading this?
If yes, how did you originally hear about this book?
I've been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for more than 15 years, but I'll be transitioning to a more purely plant-based diet after reading this. The research is compelling. Also, I learned of this book while sitting in a hospital waiting room with my mother who is going in for her second heart surgery. A woman across from us was reading it. All she said was that it was "life-changing". After I picked it up, and read was it was about, the synchronicity struck me. Jung says we should pay attention to the world when it offers us these kind of striking connections!
I found this book to be extremely insightful. Nutrition books can become a bit overwhelming because so many of them can contradict one another. This book and its perspective is based on factual evidence, and it is simply refreshing. After finishing the book, I followed-up with Dr. McDougall, who is mentioned towards the end of the book. I switched to a vegan, oil-free lifestyle. At first it was difficult, but now I find it pretty easy.
I came across this book while I was reading reviews on Amazon. An impressive reviewer recommended this book, and I'm so glad that he did.
