Thankful for Books Reading Challenge 2

So, Facebook is still blocking me from posting anything on my page. I seriously don't know what their issue is but it's incredibly frustrating.

Today I'm catching up on two prompts: best title and life changing.

I feel it's impossible to chose a best title - I have so many favorites! Terry Pratchett and Terry Goodkind are my two favorite authors so I'll start there. Pratchett's Soul Music, Small Gods and Thief of Time are among my favorites of his. The Tiffany Aching books are probably my favorite of his mini-series. Faith of the Fallen is still my favorite of Goodkind's Sword of Truth books though I'm also really enjoying his new work, starting with Nest. (Yes, I'm aware of all of the bad publicity with Goodkind.. I still enjoy his work.)

Life changing is a bit easier for me to think on - what first came to mind was Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's blood type diet books, the Genotype Diet, Eat Right 4 Your Type and Live Right 4 Your Type. (Although honestly, I could have put Faith of the Fallen under this prompt also, but regardless....)

The blood type diet has been life changing for me because it gave me the tools to lose 25 pounds and keep it off. I'm also aware now of specific food triggers and which foods are actually good for me! I'm especially sensitive to the nightshade vegetables, which I never knew but at the same time the usual culprits like coffee and wheat are actually beneficial for me!  DNA testing has even confirmed this :) In a world where everyone says don't eat sugar, don't eat wheat, coffee can cause headaches.. I'm on the flip side. Dieting is so confusing, but Dr. D's work has explained so much for me and helped me to live better and feel better. I'm also more recently noticing improvement with my cognitive functions caused by epilepsy. That's amazing, after all these years!

I strongly recommend this diet and of course the books. I personally got started with the diet without reading the books first - just by studying the information on his web site. There's a wealth of free information there.

So just to be clear, I'm not trying to sell anyone anything - I'm just providing my personal opinions and information on what has worked for me and what I enjoy.

I guess that's it for today so if you'd like to, you can join us in the reading challenge here.
