Dieting!

Rujjuta made the whole gambit of dieting, detox & other un-necessary products of multi nationals as a great sham & money making for them & for the user loss of health very loud & clear in her new book. A must read for everyone especially women. The book contains so many native glfood items we have forgotten/ neglected or omitted b/c of false narratives by vested interests and as a result the production / cultivation of those products itself has dwindeled to the extent that our children& their children will curse our generation for aping Western media and business houses. Narration by Prachi Chaube is at its best all thru the book. A should not miss audible.

The information is too basic (as a girl who grow up in an Indian home)

This book is telling us what we know. It’s just about following our parents and grandparents diet which we’ve grown up with. Eating dal chawal is mentioned so many times but most of us Indians already know that lol. It’s mostly about making some foods look like the devil like quinoa & almond butter. She doesn’t say that you can actually balance both.. nothing too useful. Waste… rather go and ask your parents and grandparents what they eat it’s the same content . Narration was nice though

worth following. common sense approach

liked her approach to a healthy life. has the courage to take on the multinational and junk food industry. agree with her on coming back to our traditional lifestyle and not being carried over by the present westerners approach towards food.

Great book for today's diet fad world

Very apt guide on nutrition, body, what to eat and know how for today's generation.

today's generation is missing out on grandma's tastey nutritious home cooked meal to industrial fast food.

A must listen, read to people of all age group.

great book on the waste we eat and should we eat

great book on the waste we eat and should we eat traditional, local and seasonal

10/10 to the narrator,l

a wonderful book for all those who wants to start a healthy lifestyle while eating everything they want. full marks to the narrator for making the listening experience so live😊🤗 Prachi Dubey 👏

Though felt repetitive, it drove the message.

Though the content felt repetitive, it sent the message it wanted to deliver, go for it. it could have been good had the narrator got accustomed to the terms used in the book before starting the narrative

A collation of Facebook posts

This book is nothing but a collation of the author's social media posts. You will initially like it because she says something which you will like to hear. There is no concrete research as the author itself mentions in one of the instances. Instead she asks if we as readers have any proof against the claim that she makes in one as the observations. Wow what an argument.
Eat local is the main concept and she suggests Idly as local for Tamilnadu. Idly is not Tamil food. It's imported from South East Asia. And if we simply go by local food now, Tamils and Malayalees will have to eat Parotta for breakfast and dinner. Will that help ? Like I said, it's good writeup for social media. Not suitable for a book

Quality content

Rujuta's views, and her research in local produce, and traditional recipes, are a feast for our minds. Not all traditions are outdated. Simply put, eat freshly made items, raw where possible, and in moderations, while we find opportunities to stay active.
Wish the narration was better. Narrator was not conversant with many words, mostly Marathi ones.

Eye-opener

Loved this book! I'm one of the many who have tried lots of diet trends and failed miserably. Finally I landed on this book to learn more about eating effectively and this book thought me alot.
