The Wahls Protocol Cooking For Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions

This cookbook is an outstanding resource for following any stage of the Wahls Protocol, and I can't recommend it highly enough!When I read Dr. Wahls first book, The Wahls Protocol, some years ago I was daunted by the cornerstone requirements of eating 9 cups of vegetables and fruits in a specific variety, and eliminating dairy, gluten, and eggs, so I did not attempt it. Then more recently, re-reading to see if I might after all use the protocol to deal with severe and chronic pain, I again thought it would be too complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Having this cookbook resource, I now find that none of these concerns are the case!Dr. Wahls is very sensitive to how much energy, time, and money people with MS and other disabilities have, and the day-to-day plan is easy to follow. It does involve possibly more grocery shopping that one is used to (likely shopping for very different things) and a few items, like coconut oil, are on the pricey side. But the trade-off on not buying ultra-processed packaged foods, dairy, and gluten products will help to balance that out.The presentation of each of the 3 stages of the Wahls Protocol (the basic Wahls diet, Wahls Paleo, and Wahls PaleoPlus, which is essentially a keto diet) is succinct and easy to follow. You're also encouraged to ramp up slowly, no need to face eating all 9 cups of vegetables and fruits right off the bat (although she strongly recommends going cold turkey on dairy and gluten, which I did find to be a good strategy). Then, each section of suggested meals--smoothies, soups, skillet dinners, salads, etc.--begins with a "template" to follow using your own on-hand ingredients, followed by numerous recipes that she and her family enjoy. I have not seen one that I don't want to try out at some point.Beyond that, one of the most beautiful cookbooks I have ever seen! Photography is fantastic, and layout is very easy to read. I purchased the paperback, but think I will use this often enough that I want to spring for the spiral-bound edition as well.

I was surprised by how detailed the cook book is. You even have a chapter with cleaning and personal hygiene products. However, I only started with the protocol so I can't report the benefits yet. Majority of recipes are based on coconut fat. If you follow Swank diet for MS, this is a big no. I did reviewed all Whals's publications on that topic and I can't wrap my mind about what to do. Regardless, I already tried some juices (delicious), fudge and salat dressings. They are all amazing and nicely written. I reccomend the book. It is definitely worth the money.

Este livro mudou minha forma de comer mesmo não tendo uma doença autoimune, mas sim uma intolerância a muitos produtos. Ele segue os princípios mais atuais de uma boa alimentação e assim proteger nosso 2o cérebro : os intestinos e a flora intestinal. Valeu esperar, recomendo !

Buen libro, pero con recetas adecuadas solamente a la dieta de EEUU. No hay muchas dietas compatibles con los ingredientes disponibles en México, pero te das una muy buena idea de lo que tienes que hacer para seguir con la filosofía Paleo.

I already have her first book, which goes into the science. This book compliments beautifully with a short summary of the science, and lots of recipes with explanations of the approach, with clear differences for the three levels. As this is an all round healthy way to eat, we are generally adopting the Wahls protocol in our household, even those who do not have MS.
