I ordered the bone broth and my sister ordered the book. We decided to get healthier together (I'm pretty active, but have about 40lbs to lose). You have to change your entire diet, not just add bone broth to it. We have both had good results. Less joint pain (we are in our late 40's), healthier looking skin, I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, and my sister has lost 15 lbs. This is a wonderful product and wonderful program. We are making a few of the recipes together each week. I wish we had found this sooner!! And the both isn't great, but you have to add spices to make it taste how you want. I think many of the negative reviews didn't actually read the book or get deep into the diet information.
