Going off sugar and bread has been torture, but so far, I can tell there's a difference in my body. I learned a lot about nutrition and wellness from this book, so it was a plus to know how bad habits can do a lot of damage and this is my opportunity to remedy my poor eating choices from the last few months. Most of the inflammation on my stomach is gone after I started a week ago and I really can't wait to see the results after the last two of the three weeks are over.

UPDATE 12/30/16 (it was going to be updated last Monday, but I forgot): After I finished the diet, I weighed myself and found out I lost about 10 pounds and I lost my love handles. I'm amazed at the results and now I'm more careful with what I eat. ...more

I was hoping there would be more facts regarding bone broth and its benefits rather than links to her website. I could have read the website for free rather than buying the book. There were also too many of her associates, friends and other experts saying pointless things, that added no substance to the book itself but were purely just advertising another book, product or specialist to go and see.

I won this book in a goodreads giveaway. Interesting book I will say. Good addition to any collection.

I have been intriqued with the whole bone broth craze and this book really helps lay out a plan and the science behind it.

Some really great recipes.

I've made the Bone Broth Diet a way of life after reading this book. Dr. Kellyann's recipes are so good! Not the kind of recipes where you need to go pick up specialty ingredients before you can start. You can use much of what you have on-hand. She gives a shopping list of the week's groceries if you want to follow her menu. My leaky gut symptoms are gone! And everyone has been telling me how great I look.

This protocol helped me lose weight when nothing else worked! Many thanks! I didn't use the recipes in her book. I just modified the current recipes I had and did a lot of replacements. The secret to this diet is to PLAN EVERYTHING. Very well written and fast read. Totally delivers on her promises... and I love bone broth and incorporating it into my lifestyle.

Interesting concept. Tried the diet. It was difficult keeping up with all the bone broth production and I didn't see the benefits that were promised. But it's still good information. And, I still make bone broth once a week.

The reading material in the book is very good, very informative, and it seems to make sense. I give the book only three stars because a great deal of the content of the book consists of recipes, most of which do not interest me.

Really liked this plan....the way she explains how and when and what we eat hit home, and I think it sound pretty simple. Looking for ways to heal my gut because I value my health!

I am excited to try many of the delicious recipes outlined in this book. My questions on bone broth and how to make it were clearly answered . The plan seems easy to follow. Some concern on the intermittent fasting and how healthy that is for you.

The Bone Broth Diet works! The book does a great job of explaining the science behind it. I am a long time low carber so all of the info made sense to me and the diet itself helped me lose 25 lbs in 3 months. If you are new to a low carb lifestyle you may have more questions but I recommend finding the Facebook group for additional questions and support.

Interesting approach to healthful eating and thus improving appearance and attaining weightloss. Bone Broth recipes seem lot a lot of work - and not sure about finding the ingredients. Difficult enough to find organic meats, I have never seen organic bones or other typical waste portions of meats for sale at my local grocer.

I chose this book for the multiple bone broth recipes and information about bone broth benefits, not the weight loss program. I got the information I was looking for and more...highly informative.

Update: We completed the 21 day diet. It’s a tough detox to banish sugar, grains, legumes and dairy but so worth it. Definitely do it with someone, as you can encourage each other. We love the taste of bone broth and enjoyed cooking it together. Plus it’s fun to savor every meal together.

The book is an easy read with lots of before and after pictures of people who subscribed to the diet. It gives the foundation and scientific aspects of why drinking the bone broth and fasting is beneficial for us. I'd never heard such physiological basis for fasting so I was glad to learn something. The book also has lots of recipes--enough in fact, to guide anyone though the whole 21 day program. I believe the program will work for most people.

I can testify that the bone broth does indeed keep you full. I was amazed at that because I'm a person who likes to eat just for the heck of it. The biggest reason for giving this book a 4 star rating is, it lacked vegan or vegetarian options. I found a blog Kellyann wrote to address how to make vegetable broth but I believe it should have been included in the book, too, along with all the other meat options. Overall, though, I recommend it for those seeking information about diet options. ...more

I was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to do the mini fast, but it was easier than I thought. I kept drinking water when ever I felt hungry, and when I had the bone broth, my hunger stopped about 15 minutes after I drank it. I only drank 2 servings of store bought bone broth that day, I think I should have had 3. I started the mini fast before reading the book, so I guess Nacho's were not technically on the snack list!

I saw KellyAnn on the Dr. Oz show and somehow thought that the non mini fasts were just healthy eating days. Beware, they are more restrictive than that. KellyAnn says that messing up just once will stop the process of loosing fat, but I am hoping that reducing the calories and fats will help some, as we are presently eating down the freezer food. I have just started, and it may take me a while to be able to do the program as strictly as prescribed, but I will get there. Next week I am making my own beef broth!
I think this book is well written and KellyAnn has the experience and education to support the results. I like the way the testimonials are interspersed throughout the book, they keep you motivated.
I'll write another review at a later date. I couldn't keep it up, got hungry. ...more

I had the carbohydrate flu the 2nd day of the 21 day diet. Eliminating all sugar, dairy, and CHO's hit me just like the flu and it was God-damn awful. Thank the lord, I was over it about 36 hours later! The recipes were not that great because A. I'm a really good cook, and B. The recipes call for an over abundance of seasonings. I began trolling websites for healthy recipes that were way better. Recipes like Brussels sprouts hash with mushrooms at Closet Cooking.

The great part of the diet is, I finally have the homemade bone broth down and it is amazing. It is so good and tasty that I don't have to add salt, pepper, dill - nothing. I will say that I look ravenously at the clock for 7 pm so I can have an acceptable snack on Fasting Days ( Fasting Days are twice per week and it's basically bone broth, coffee, tea and water.). Now the 21 days have come and gone and I have loosened up some restrictions, like a little dairy use. I lost a modest 11 pounds over the past month and that was with exercise. So, I would give this book a 3.5 star rating because I did not like the menu/recipes. ...more

This is a great book to explain all of your questions about the diet. However, I have issues digesting eggs, and they are a main focus in this diet.

My friends are doing this diet and they have been losing weight. I don't need to lose any weight, but I wanted to be able to understand this process and understand their conversation.

You will learn nothing from this book that you can't get from a Paleo/Ketogenic/Whole 30-type book. Her recipe for the broth is also completely inaccessible (who has a neighborhood butcher offering cow's feet?)

My grandmother used to make something she called "beef tea" which was to be given to someone who was seriously ill. If I were sick, I would want to be given beef tea or bone broth and juiced vegetables. Good book. To me, bone broth is another tool in the tool box.

Good information. An easy read.

This essentially a paleo diet. However, you add bone broth and fasting for two days. The book provides a good baseline for a healthy lifestyle.
