Okay, so I always thought that I had nutrition figured out, but that I was just too lazy to actually make it happen - make and eat 5 meals a day EVERYDAY. I’m so glad I read this book. It actually explains and makes sense why a 5 meal a day plan won’t work in the long run and thank God, I only have time for 3 meals! I had never heard of the hormone leptin and don’t have a science background, so it was really nice that the author used analogies to better explain the science. That really helped it all come together for me. Best part - no food exclusions! I can eat the foods I’ve eaten my whole life following the 5 Rules!
I also have had chronic neck and shoulder pain for a few years now. I’ve been to chiropractors, gotten massages, bought expensive pillows and heating pads, all to no relief. The explanation on the fasting between meals and at night made me think maybe my pain was from lymph congestion from eating at night and not muscular. 4 days of not eating after dinner cleared it up! Thank you, thank you!
