Master Your Metabolism, Jillian Michaels

I loved this book. I don't ever fully trust diet books because I always fear the author has some kind of ulterior motive. Only my patented diet shake can bring you the kind of absorption of vitamins and minerals that your body needs to maintain a working metabolism! But with Jillian during this book I really felt like her research was extensive and helpful. I loved learning how the different hormones of the body work and why broccoli is the best vegetable and why everyone should eat tomatoes.

My apologies, though, Jillian, I just can't go organic at this stage in my life. This month I shopped with a Jillian inspired grocery list and spent nearly $50 on produce a week ... none of it organic. That price would have doubled shopping in the organic section. So I guess my family and I are going to have to brave the pesticides for the time being.

having said that, it has no reflection on her book at all - because everything she said was true. There are too many hormone injections in our meat and pesticides on our produce. But the way I see it, a strawberry laden with pesticides is still better than cheese-its and juice boxes. :)

Loved the book. Gave it four stars on Goodreads. I'd recommend it to anyone.
