Books like The Prime

Initially, I thought I wasn't going to like this book. I looked at her website and noticed she sold "The Prime" products. I thought it would just be a big commercial for the author's products. It isn't and this is fascinating material. I understand why Dr. Chaudhary would promote it under weight loss, but it's much more than that. I think of it more as a gut health and brain function manual. With the things scientists and doctors are learning about neurological disorders (MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's), I think many more people could benefit from the information contained here than just people who want to lose weight. There is Parkinson's in my paternal line and I want to do everything I can to help brain function and stave off that disorder. I have started on the program, but I'm still only in the first phase. I already have pretty good gut health since I've been eating clean for quite some time. I will be back to update this review after I am fully done with the program and write down my thoughts about it.Update: Jan 2017I will say I didn't follow the plan exactly. I forgot to drybrush most of the time and I did not do the curry powder, or the ginger gut flush (but this reminds me that I want to try the ginger still). I also did not take the guggul or drink the juice. Of the other parts of the program I still do most of it on and off. I like the tea and I take ashwaganda and brahmi and triphala as I feel I need it. I add fiber to my protein shakes. Along with Prime, I eat mostly Primal and I started strength training so I can't give The Prime all the credit. I don't know how much I lost due to The Prime, but in the last year and a few months I've lost (and kept off since I haven't lost anything since the summer months) 33lbs and 4 dress sizes. I still have some work to do so maybe I should get back and focus on The Prime again :) It did help me keep my eye on my target goals.
