Review:

I am not diagnosed with Hashimoto's but others I know are and I wanted to see how this diet differs from the AP and others that I have read about.  

The author knows what she is talking about with the information as well as the wording she is able to comes across as knowledgeable and person readers will be able to connect with.

It is hard to know when to eliminate certain things from your diet and by cutting things off cold turkey it will cause a rebound effect as well as cravings.

The author gives readers a step by step process on who to eliminate certain food and why you might want to take them out of your diet.

The author does get a little preachy which depends on how you read and her voice inflections.
