I really appreciated all of the little lists throughout this book with tips and reminders. Things like "On the Go Tips!" and "27 reasons to decrease your sugar intake". Also, the urging to quit all forms of sugar completely is great. My complaint is how this book, and so many other sugar detox or health books, still recommends animal protein. When animal products, which includes dairy, eggs, and all meat, are greater causes of diabetes, cancer, inflammation, etc than even sugar- how is it that books like these actually recommend people trying to start eating healthily to eat these products? Dairy is sugar to our bodies in the same way that white flour is, yet Filippa actually recommends dairy in her sugar detox program. At least she says to stick to organic animal products, but still- animal products are animal products and it isn't just the added nitrates and sugar in meat products like bacon that cause diabetes and so many other chronic illnesses and disease. If I could have, I would give this book 2.5 stars because I liked the first half of the book, but since the actual sugar detox program in the second half of the book recommends dairy in nearly every meal, I just skipped it. I did truly like the little tips and affirmations throughout the first half of the book though.
