Product Description
In search of the perfect human diet, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees. Chimpanzees share an estimated 99.4% of genes with humans, but their diet is dramatically different from ours. The most glaring difference is that chimpanzees consume significantly more green leaves than humans. Victoria developed a series of greens smoothies that enable anyone to consume the necessary amount of greens in a very palatable way.

Not a excellent book. It’s appealing but nothing worth spending your money on. It’s a glorified newsletter slap together for a book. If you like being treated like a chump by all means waste your money. One third of the book is testimonials about how fantastic the book is. I mean come on. In a nutshell this is the book – monkeys are closest in genes to humans than any additional animal. monkeys eat a lot of green leaves, so guess what? Eat lots of green leaves. Don’t like eating greens? throw it in a blender with fruit. Wow that’s insightful. hahaha. Really dudes, this is a terrible book.

This is a fantastic book and one of a kind! The recipes are very excellent, although I was disappointed that there were relatively few of them (a few pages). I was able to notice an immediate different in my energy levels upon drinking only 1/2 of the daily quart of green drinks recommended. If you need a lot of energy for staying up late or getting up earlier in the morning, using these drinks is a fantastic strategy. I did notice some indigestion and have read in Mary Enig’s 2005 or so book about a coconut oil diet she invented that indigestion is regularly a consequence of drinking green drinks. She recommends cooking leafy greens for sound scientific reasons and using only 4 oz juice a day from fruit juices once in awhile if one desires, also for sound scientific reasons. She largely refutes the thought that drinking lots of juices is the best way to cleanse the body or get enzymes. Drinking bone broths helps the body cleanse itself as amino acids in these are used by the liver to cleanse. Juices, she says, don’t have as many enzymes as people reflect. Andrew Weil and additional doctors recommend sparing use of juices, and mostly or only fruit, these days. But, I reflect this book is very useful for persons wanting to resist coffee and food and drink for awhile, start a diet, erect energy levels, slim down; and I reflect the leader is probably right when she writes that modern jaws/teeth don’t munch greens as well as they once did and this is why we don’t get as much energy from chewing salad greens as we once did. So possilby the truth about what is best for us is somewhere between Enig’s perspective and the perspective in this book, weighted more towards Enig. I’d drink less than a quart of green drink and chew it well before swallowing and stick to largely fruitier drinks most of the time.

I ordered this book from Amazon and I was very disapointed. First of all, there is no educational background listed for the leader. The only thing in this book that even smells of anyone having a college education is the foreword which is written by a psychatrist!!! The rest of the book is filled with testimonials, such as asking person after person how their eliminations (color, consistency, and yes, smell) changed after drinking green smoothies, as well as a person who had a weird growth on their nose that fell-off after they drank green smoothies. There are a few pages with green smoothie recipes that are favorites of some of her family tree members. Save yourself some money; if you want to make green smoothies, buy a Vitamix or Blendtec blender, place in your favorite fruits, a banana, some ice, and either chard, spinach, or kale, and blend away. If you want to add some fiber, throw in some flax seed or wheat germ. Don’t waste your money on this book!

I didn’t buy much of what was said in this book. The leader misses in trying too hard to make a “green for life” community with her tales. I guess the book would be excellent for a name who would rather drink than eat their greens. I prefer the traditional way of eating my greens rather than drinking blended up romaine lettuce, spinach and celery (yuck!).

Yes, it’s super vital for us to eat lots of greens, and most people don’t know just how much of it we really need. But, exclusively eating greens, or plant matter of any kind, isn’t healthy. Humans are omnivores and our digestive systems and bodies in all-purpose were designed to eat meat AND green leafy vegetables. The way we ate long long ago when we were hunter gatherers is the closest thing to comparing our diet to chimpanzees. we knew what our bodies needed then, unlike now. the hunter gatherer diet is basically just meat and veggies (mostly non-carby ones) and a small bit of nuts and fruits. that’s it. there is no traditionally lacto-vegetarian society in the world for a reason. all food traditions have some form of meat or dairy in them, even if they don’t know it. there was only one traditionally lacto-vegetarian culture they establish and it was in india. but the researchers learned that the reason it worked for them is because, since they lived in a jungle setting, there was larvae growing all over their food that they couldn’t see, and they were eating tons of it.
so, i reflect there is some valuable information in this book, i reflect it’s super vital to eat tons of greens, and i reflect this issue of not enough HCL (hydrochloric acid) is a huge one that applies to a large population of people in modern times. but exclusively eating greens, or exclusively eating a raw lacto-vegetarian diet, is just not healthy. there are a host of essential nutrients that you just don’t get through that diet, and there’s just no way of getting the amount of protein that our bodies need. it messes up your hormones, throws off your metabolism, strains your thyroid, and causes a chain result of one problem after another. So, if you’re reading this book, use the recipes, but don’t see it as your exclusive diet. eat some meat too. if you have an idealogical issue with that, reflect of it this way: how many bugs died to harvest your bowl of cereal or rice? is the life of an insect less vital than the life of an animal? is the life of an animal more precious than the life of a plant? animals eating additional animals is just a fact of life, but hideous. so, unless you want to go around telling all the carnivorous animals in the world that they’re incorrect, i suggest coming to terms with these facts. excellent luck to everyone in search of the right diet for them
