The Psoriasis Diet Cookbook: Easy, Healthy Recipes to Soothe Your Symptoms
Wanted to read this book because my husband suffers from this disease and if I can change up his diet it might solve the problems he has.
Starts with a table of contents where chapters are broken up into different food categories.
Intro material talks about eh authors life and her family suffering years with this disease and trying everything the doctors had for them.
Through her research she realized what was going on and by avoiding certain foods she was able to get a handle on the disease.
Although we do follow the Mediterranean diet plan just a few tweaks could help my husband a lot.Lists of foods to avoid and those he should be eating are listed and why.
Nightshade I was no even aware of with the food groups.
Each recipe chapter starts with a color photo and index of ten recipes.
Each recipe itself starts with a title, list of food allergies this would be good for, servings, prep and cook times and summary of the dish.
List of ingredients is listed and some can be long-mostly herbs and spices so be sure you have them on hand.
Directions are easy to follow.
Ingredient tip is also enclosed in case you want to substitute a few of them.
Nutritional information by servings size-tells you if it's 1/2 c or more: calories, fat, sat fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber and protein.
Also plenty of space on the same page for your hand written notes or changes.
There is a wide variety to choose from in each category. I have a list of several I want to try myself.
Conversion charts are listed at the end.
References, book, resources listings are also attached.
Index, acknowledgements and about the author are also included.
A KEEPER for me not only for the help in psoriasis but inflammatory diseases.
I received this review copy from The Callisto Publisher's Club and this is my honest opinion.
