This was much more than just a diet book. It covers many additional topics such as; exercise, meditation, deep breathing, psychology, physical therapy type exercises and more.

I typically get bored reading diet books, but with this one there was new information to keep me reading. And there was just enough humor to hold my interest throughout the book.

I received this galley from NetGalley.

The lifestyle change concepts explained in this book are common sense, easy and life changing. I embarked on this program to feel better and I am not disappointed. Following a debilitating back pain episode I was beginning to wonder if I would ever have my old life back. Within two weeks of incorporating the basic principles and adding Juice Plus+ supplements to my life I noticed significant positive changes.

I was really excited to read this book and get some great ideas to help my nutrition coaching clients. After all, knowledge is power and the more I know about the human body, the better the results I can get for my clients. I was very disappointed with the redundant nature of this book. Not only did the book repeat the same information over and over again, it was also very gimmicky and salesy. I also felt like it talked down to the reader. On the other hand, I did like the lists and recipes given and will be trying some of them. Overall, the topics in this book could have been summed up in a booklet instead of a long book which is why I gave it such a low rating. It took me forever to get through.

Thank you to Netgalley, William Sears, Erin Sears Bastille, and BenBella Books for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately, this was not what I had expected. I've followed Dr. Sears for years and remember his baby books well, but this diet book was not for me. It was well written and funny though!

Just seemed to be full of recycled ideas. Not any new information and I felt like so many other health and wellness books do it so much better.
The cartoons and things made it feel like I was being spoke down to.

Not my cup of tea.

This is an excellent book that every American should read. I have read a variety of health books over the years, but none of them have impacted me like this one. Dr. Sears does an excellent job of explaining the science behind what happens in our bodies when we eat healthy, exercise, and reduce stress versus when we don't, and he does it in easy-to-understand, easy-to-remember terms. I don't think I will ever eat processed food again without picturing the "sticky stuff" lining my blood vessels. And the great thing about this book is that it's not a diet--it's a recommended way of living. So I can choose to adopt all his suggestions or just the ones that work for me. By making a few small changes as I read this book (such as eating a smoothie a day), I lost 4 pounds in less than 2 weeks without even trying. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their health and quality of life.

The Dr Sears T5 Wellness Plan by William Sears and Erin Sears Basile promises to change your health with five changes over five weeks. I am not sure that any of the information in the book is particularly new. It is presented in an easy to understand manner and the why of the changes is thoroughly explained. The book does include some soft selling of the accompanying products, but it is not the main focus. It is worth checking out if you are interested in being healthier and need some extra encouragement.

This is a well-written, well-researched book. I'm going to try to implement the basics of the plan; however, I work with children in schools, and I can't stop what I am doing to fit 5 meals in my day. I have time for breakfast, lunch and dinner--maybe an after-dinner snack if it isn't too late. If I were to spread 5 meals throughout the day, I'd be getting out of bed to eat one of them.

I do like how all the information is up to date and in one carefully organized book.

This is the typical American Diet Book, build up like a sort of book of advertisement. This doesn't mean that it is useless, nevertheless even if is full of good ideas, the way is written and typed also, makes me think at the beginning that there was going to be a sort of scam at the end, but this happens just because I'm European.

Quando ho aperto questo libro per la prima volta e ho capito a cosa si riferivano le 5 t; specialmente l'ultima, ho pensato che fosse una presa in giro. In realtá é solo il tipico libro americano che ti vuole convincere della superioritá di questa dieta su tutte le altre, ma ci sono comunque dei buoni suggerimenti.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

It s too commercial, very repetive and insisting on the T5 aspect. It is a book with good info that you can find in many other books, but I disliked the way too commercial part of it. I am thankful for the book I received and I congratulate the author on beating cancer.
