Why isn't everyone reading this???

My husband went plant- based a few years ago after reading The China Study, he then started reading books by John MacDougall. He is skinny, definitely doesn't need to lose weight. Me, on the other hand, I could stand to lose some but was having trouble jumping on the plant- based ideology. This book did it for me!! It resonated so well with me!! I couldn't stop listening. I am following the plan and have never felt better - the pounds are starting to come off after trying every diet out there!!! Love it!
