It got me turned on to food as a *good* thing, not just something to fight against. But I don't try to follow it as a specific plan. Is that the one that lays out an actual plan in detail? I skimmed it at the bookstore and it seemed so complicated!
It was my most valuable resource! I still eat a lot of super foods, but after nearly 5.5 years, it's mostly habit and not something I have to focus on like a laser on a daily basis.
It's an excellent book! I don't see it as "follow" or "don't follow" but just a really good source of information and ideas that are flexible enough to fit into your schedule and diet. Do a little or do a lot, whatever works for you.
