I bought this book because I saw it in a library store a couple of days before I was performed a surgical meniscus arthroscopy. As the tittle states, the book is very clear with the following:
- reduction of carbohydrates ingestion, whole grain starch and sugars
- be more relaxed regarding fat ingestion
- feel the plate with vegetables (better raw, the greener color the better)
- practice sports that increase resistance
- stop counting calories
- satisfy your stomach, don’t get hungry
- the less processed is the food the better
- the more nutrients in food the better
Honestly, I prefer go on counting calories, but I have started to test this approach because my conditions for running are now limited.
This a interesting book for general people, in fact the author is very critic with USDA, but taking a look to the latest release of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans has recommendations in the same direction:
The overall body of evidence examined by the 2015 DGAC identifies that a healthy dietary pattern is higher in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low- or non-fat dairy, seafood, legumes, and nuts; moderate in alcohol (among adults), lower in red and processed meats, and low in sugar-sweetened foods and drinks and refined grains
