 - just an aggregatorUnfortunately I have to say that I was totally disappointed by this book. It says everything and nothing. Basically you can say it is useful because it contains all the things that are usually said on the thyroid issue and way to manage it with diet. But this is the point: it tells you about several types of diets and it is up to you to try them all and good luck! The author does not substantiate her recommendations she just tells you what it is said out there but she does not take positions (apart from the usual no coffee, no milk, blah blah blah). Save your money (i will give you mine for free!) and read some very interesting (and free!) websites (I recommend Dr Rind and dr Lam). Rating:  - Thyroid dietthis is an easy to use diet that come in handy and helped me understand my problems. Rating: - Save Your MoneyAll that this book does is suggest various popular diets, South Beach, Weight Watchers, etc. There is no diet in this book specific to the thyroid, so choose the diet you want to follow and get a good book on that diet instead. Rating:  - Thyroid Diet:: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss by Mary J. ShomonMary J. Shomon's book is more a resource for information on thyroid disease than a diet/cookbook. Less than 100 pages of a nearly 400-page book are devoted to recipes and diet plans. I was expecting this book to be heavier on that information and lighter on the background as I obtained that from reading "Living Well with Hypothyroidism." Rating: - The Thyroid Diet: Manage your MetabolismWhat a disappointment. Expecting something new here, but didn't get it. Basically this is the GI diet - and if that doesn't work for you then there are a whole host of other well known diets suggested. Though the book begins by giving numerous examples of people who seem to eat little but get/stay fat, it goes on to trot out the usual 'eat less and exercise more' advice.
