 Excited about health improvements
After only 4 days on this diet I have already seen great improvements and I am very excited about the changes that are taking place with my general health. My pain levels are now about level 2 on a scale of 10 and I am feeling more energy.
The recipes are great and I think in view of the recent economic climate they are more economical. There are tips on bulk cooking to save time and energy, and the ingredients are easily available and cheaper if bought in season. My sister bought me this book as a birthday present, and it is the best present I had. Great book and I think the author has done a brilliant job. Highly recommended.

Very Excited about my purchase
I just received my book today, and got a chance to look through it and I am very excited to try it out. This author obviously worked very hard to do her research and worked hard to help the rest of us out when it comes to understanding the good and bad foods. Her explanations are clear, her recipes look delicious. I will be starting this ASAP.

Saved me From Pain
I am a stage 1V Endo patient, and wanted to stop by here to simply say that I bought this book a few years ago and it changed my life. I started to implement the dietary changes and the major ones that changed my life were eliminating wheat and lessening sugar. I went from chronic, horrible fatigue and pain to manageable. It wasn't easy, it took me two years to get a grip on my food addictions and I used Chronium supplement to great effect for controlling cravings. I recommend this book to every woman I meet who has Endo and actually I am mentioning it in an article I just wrote which I hope will be published soon.

Extremely good practical book
This book is very helpful in providing the recipes you need for the endo diet without having to trawl through loads of dietary information. It has delicious recipes for every day cooking needs.
I must add that the comments of the previous reviewer did not read the title or explanation of the book properly. She should have bought a Key to Healing through Nutrition if she wanted a good bedtime read; and typos! - I think I found 2! I personally was expecting a recipe book and that is what I got.
After 7 years of endometriosis, I have been following the endo diet for a few months and started to come unstuck. But this book has given me lots of tasty new recipes and meal ideas.
I have definitely felt the benefits. As soon as I slip back, like eating wheat or red meat, then I really do pay for it later. I also feel that I am saving money with this new style of cooking - cheaper but healthy ingredients, doing bulk cooking and freezing, and buying food that is in season.
Definitely worth having, and a book you will use every day.

 Don't waste your money
This book only got one star because I was unable to give it 0 stars.
This book doesn't really do what it claims to do. There really aren't any clear explanations as to why certain foods need to be avoided. We all know it's not great to eat a diet of red meat, refined sugar, and overly processed food. But that goes for everyone, not just sufferers of Endometriosis. The book says that in addition to avoiding refined white sugar, we should avoid natural sweeteners such as honey and agave. But maple syrup and date sugar are ok. WHY?!?
Also, the book claims over and over again that we should avoid wheat. Yet there is a recipe in the recipe section that includes couscous! Couscous is wheat!!
The book is also full of typographical errors, which makes it difficult to read.
If I could get my money back, I would. Don't make the same mistake I did and waste almost $30 on this book.
