Amazon Customer: Very informative on this condition. Got more information on this book than I did from my own doctor.

Thor: This is more than I hoped it would be. The book covers the two conditions, effects, vitamins and clear foods to eat and those to avoid. I especially liked the section that addresses ways to be successful in changing eating habits. Ntrition is discussed. Recipes are there and even how to prepare fruits and veggies. Photos of lyphedema and lipedema pre-and post dietary changes are shown. There is a clear table on foods to avoid. A lot of information, but going through it bit-by-bit was very helpful.

Kindle Customer: I appreciate the research that has gone into this book. I'm helping my son adjust to this diet and looking forward to seeing the results...

Elisa: I am finding this book very hard to read, with toon much science and not enough emphasis on communication skill. I get the feeling it was dictated and not proof read before publishing. Just because it is the only book of its kind, does not mean that everyone who reads it will understand it. I am a graduate of English and it’s a tough read. I’m glad they produced lists of foods to eat and not to eat: those I can understand, but I would like to be able to understand it all! A list of recommended supplements would have been good too. There’s so much a book on lipadema could say, and hopefully they will improve this book on future editions.

Anna: I have lipoedema and I need this book but it's going to take a few readings to glean the most helpful information because there is just so much to take in. A lot of detail is provided about the physiology/nutrition side and, even though I have a science background, I found it hard going. Perhaps the best approach is to read this slowly, make notes, and come up with your own plan? But I guess I just wanted 'the answers' without too much effort on my part. I didn't find the sample meal plans helpful (a lot of salads and soups, eggs and fish) but then I have other dietary restrictions (vegan) and I appreciate there's never a one-size-fits-all. In summary, it's worth getting but be prepared to do the work of interpreting it in light of your own, individual condition, preferences, and resources. I think trial and error is needed to figure out the right diet for you (but I appreciate, when facing a progressive condition, there's a wish just to know the best answer straight away). The book does include suggestions for *how* to make the dietary changes as well (including food diary, meditation, dealing with saboteurs) so that's an added bonus!

Maibiene: hat sich mal jemand mit der Ernährung bei Lip- und Lymphödem auseinandergesetzt.

Ich habe das Buch innerhalb von zwei Tagen verschlungen, muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass ich bereits die theoretischen und wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen dieser Ernährungsansatz aufgebaut ist (richtig essen - länger leben, eat to Beat diseases von William Li) mir bereits vertraut war.

Im Buch wird differenziert auf die Nahrungsmittel eingegangen, welche das körperliche Leiden von Betroffenen mit Lip- und Lymphen tagtäglich verbessern und lindern können. Mit beispielhaften Tagesplänen, Einkauflisten und diversen Tabellen wird versucht die Ernährung so anschaulich wie möglich zu machen. Auch Nahrungsergänzungsmittel werden diskutiert. Für Betroffene könnte diese Buch ein Wegbegleiter für den Weg der Besserung sein. Es ist leider bisher nur in Englisch erschienen. Ich werde es definitiv an Betroffene weiterempfehlen.
