Jillian goes into a LOT of detail about what eat hormone does & doesn't do as well as how it is affected, what foods are good/bad to help increase/reduce the hormone.

She provides an "eat this" to do that with each one also. I began to feel that if I ate everything she recommended, I'd be 300 lbs and gaining! Unfortunately, I don't think she really covered sugars and grains as far as other things they do to our system. I think if you are looking to fully understand how our food intake affects us and work on "fixing" your hormones and your health, Dallas & Melissa Hartwig's "It Starts with Food" may be a better starting point. It's written more for the average person in a common sense method.

While Jillian's book is incredibly detailed and a good reference, it can be overwhelming.
