The Kimchi Diet

I enjoyed this book, both for the good information about fermentation and health, but also because the book is so pleasant to look at and hold in your hands. The book jacket, the layout, the font, and the feel of the book are all very appealing! My only complaint is that there are some photos in the book that are not labeled/identified, leaving you to guess what you are looking at. But the author is clearly enthusiastic about the subject, and her love for kimchi will inspire you to add it to your diet, even if you don't immediately start making it yourself, as she does. I found a local store that sells "mild" kimchi, called "white" kimchi, and I recommend that as a way to dip your toe in the water, if full-strength kimchi is a bit too pungent for your tastes!

I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving my book. Its well designed and put together with seemingly real paper. The book is relatively heavy compared to other books that use recycled paper. I have been making Kimchi for myself, for quite some time now. I stopped making it because it would turn sour in about 4-5 days. After reading Dr Susanne's book and watching her videos, my kimchi now last at least 2 weeks or more. My blood work showed that I was on the border of being diabetic, so I started intermittent fasting 1.5 years ago and have lost 60 pounds. My morning glucose is now well below 100 and I am off of any prescriptions (BP meds). However, my weight stared to fluctuate. Fasting would lower my weight, but as soon as I broke the fast, my weight would climb. While researching Leaky Gut, I came across this book "The Kimchi Diet". It easy to read. Its explains the science behind the fermentation process. I knew Kimchi aids in flu prevention, but I didn't realize all of the other potential health benefits. I am sure my health will benefit more and more over time. But so far, my main benefit has been maintaining my weight just by adding Kimchi. Digestion has improved and BP is still normal, despite the salt used in the process. I still fast, but I don't have to rely on it as much. Dr Susanne has done the research and legwork, providing a wealth of information. To discover what I learned from her about Kimchi and to make it last, the secret is in the book. You need to get this book. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Dr Susanne

Using food as medicine is so important, and this book explains why Kimchi is really great "medicine"! Even if we want to add more fermented foods in our diet, most of us have no clue where to start or what to do, and this is a great step by step guide. Lots of nutrition info and recipes (that use ingredients you already have in your kitchen).

The author provides lots of information backed up by scientific study about the benefits of kimchi. Includes numerous recipes for traditional kimchi.

Awesome enthusiasm, easy to follow, incredibly motivating! Can’t wait to try my first batch of cucumber kimchi and experience the benefits!
