FANTASTIC!!!

This book has mind blowing content! i would recommend to listen as much as possible!

Very comprehensive!! Well done, girls. Loved it!

I am 44 and have fought with acne since my teens. A few years ago, I learned by chance (after being forced to clean up my diet due to a severe giardia infection) that if I eat whole food plant based vegan/vegetarian, my face breaks out a lot less than if I eat the Standard American Diet. While I’ve known this for a few years, it was still easy to fall off the wagon over time. I bought this after I heard a podcast interview with them as inspiration for getting back on track after a few bad breakouts. These girls are fun to listen to, have a wealth of information here, and I love how they don’t make it too complicated. You can tell it’s aimed at college kids, but I’m a working mom without much time to cook so I was thrilled with their KISS approach. I’m easily overwhelmed by fancy vegan recipe books (even Engine 2, sorry!). I wish this information had been available when I was in college. Getting my skin under control would have helped my self esteem dramatically. Don’t be shy about recommending this to anyone you know who is struggling with acne! They will thank you! (And my favorite part is how they start each chapter with “by Randa,” or “by Nina.” Like they’re reading their essay out loud for you in class. 🤗)

Great information and very useful!

First, their narration was really good. It was not annoying or monotone or overly enthusiastic, rather it was enjoyable and appropriate.

Second, GREAT information. They break it down to a very doable process, sprinkled with the right amount of scientific information.

I wanted this book because at 54, I'm experiencing adult acne. While I'm sure it's brought on by menopause (I'm already WFPB and have been), this book gave me ways that I can further fine-tune my eating to help for the breakouts. I also plan to let my teens listen so they can have a better understanding how their food choices impact their skin. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!

Información y empatía

I'm so glad my daughter found this book I think I will really help long term to for more than just acne.
