(More customer reviews)I have Lyme disease for quite a while now and been in treatment for over a year-and-a-half. I had made great progress but suspected food allergies. I found Recipes for Repair at their website [...] and looked over the 4 phase plan.
The book starts with helpful information on the Lyme/inflammation connection which I found very helpful. At the beginning of each phase it lists the allowed foods in a simple format and explains how long one should stay in each phase.
Phase I was scary for me, I have to admit. It's basically a week of detox which means lots of fish and veggies. Much to my surprise, my husband and I loved the meals! Also, before starting phase I, I really looked over the food list to see what I could snack on and what I needed to prepare before-hand to make meal preparation easier. For instance, I made up the mayonnaise and almond meal. You will need to do this before each phase so that you are prepared to cook.
Phase II was a delight. It just adds more safe foods to phase I and my family and I found it to be delicious and doable. Phase III - even better. As of today I cannot do phase 4 which adds in wheat and dairy. I do use recipes from this book for about 4 times a week. Overall this has been one of the best cookbooks I've ever invested in. The pages are tattered from use which is a good sign!
If there is one drawback - if you are bedridden and tired, some of the recipes may be too long and involved. Sometimes I do recipes in chunks. I'll chop veggies and store in fridge or make double batches of rice for two recipes. I think of ways to get around that.
Overall, I feel healthier and better following this diet. I would highly recommend this cookbook if you have Lyme disease or any type of inflammatory condition.
