Summary: Eat Smarter- Feel Better
Review: My interest in this book was not as a Fibromyalgia sufferer myself. My goal was to further my education in understanding FM so that I may better serve and empathize with those that are suffering from FM! You see, my dearest, closest friend and companion, is just one of the millions of FM's victims. The Fibromyalgia Cookbook is a timely Godsend for millions of sufferers of this terrible, chronic illness.
The forward is written by professional Doctors specializing in Fibromyalgia and contains excellent information, in easy to understand, layman's terms, to assist both FM patients and those wanting to better understand the nature of FM. They describe how eating smarter is another tool to aid in coping with FM. Avoiding or minimizing known and potentially harmful foods, additives and chemicals from your diet and then, through a guided selection process, replacing or substituting these with beneficial foods containing proper nutrients and vitamins, you can learn to eat smarter and feel better. To aid the FM patient, the forward of the Fibromyalgia Cookbook also includes a simple example of a "short elimination diet" and a reference section for those that desire to follow up by doing research in more detail.
The author's heart felt introduction, clearly describes the trials which she had to face as an FM victim and how she is overcoming them through her faith, determination, courage and proper eating and lifestyle. She was motivated to prepare this book as a result of her self-less love and compassion for her fellow FM sufferers.
The tasty and nutritious recipes are excellently chosen and provide mouth-watering selections for everyone, but were specifically prepared with FM patients in mind. The ingredients are readily available at grocery and health food stores and are inexpensive and easy to prepare. The methods used to prepare the various dishes are concise yet simple to understand. The author included a glossary of terms for the less common ingredients used as well.
The Fibromyalgia Cookbook's lay out and design is very well done and the typeface selected for printing is clear and easy to read.
Overall excellent work Shelley and Cumberland House. Thanks and God bless!
