Book Review: Hangry

This book is a lot to handle...even for a nutritionist. I enjoyed the information about the five main hormones and I think the five-pillar solution is solid. It makes sense: (1) Find and commit to what works for you; (2) Opt-out of overwhelm; (3) Full-engagement living; (4) Be your best friend; (5) Be who you are. 

The hard part is implementing it via diet, exercise, meditation, sleep, and stress management. I don't agree with all of the suggestions, such as avoiding fatty meats, not weighing yourself, and the long list of supplement recommendations; however, starting with a paleo diet is great advice. The authors plainly state that this book covers it all--so be prepared for comprehensive and detailed chapters. It is a lot to get through and probably requires help from your doctor, nutritionist, health coach, therapist, etc.
