The 3-Day Reset

June 1, 2014

Natural foods chef and Huffington Post blogger Mottl addresses the challenge of making significant changes to your dietary regime by providing targeted chapters for reeducating your body regarding ten key foods and meals: sugar, salt, wheat, chocolate, yogurt, chicken, beverages, breakfast, salad, and takeout. Mottl uses the three-day reset technique as a concentrated time for the reader to become educated about the extent of ingredients such as sugar, salt, and wheat used and the many processed forms they may take in common foods. Recipes are included with each chapter to help the reader use the three days of reset to rediscover or be introduced to new, delicious natural foods that are high in nutrition. Shopping lists also ease the transformation of the "reset" kitchen. VERDICT While only one of a number of books that aims to inform the public about the unhealthy aspects of processed food (consider also Dana Meachen Rau's Going Organic or Robb Wolf's The Paleo Solution), this title may appeal to those who are looking for an introduction to clean eating.--Crystal Renfro, Georgia Inst. of Technology Lib. & Information Ctr., Atlanta
