review 1: I think this book has a great take on losing weight and improving your health. The main point of the book is to lose weight and get healthier at the same time. We have all heard of the myriad of diets that will allow you to become thinner, but at the expense of your health. I particularly like all the research studies the author cites in order to back up the foods she has chosen. My only complaint is how expensive it is to really follow this plan. You have to make tons of tiny one-person meals that call for a lot of ingredients. For example, you will use just one quarter of an avocado. It's hard to use the rest of the avocado before it goes bad. It seems like following this plan exactly would necessitate throwing away a fair amount of produce. I also wish she had ... moreincluded more easy-to-assemble, on-the-go meals. I know packaged food is bad, but in the real world it can sometimes be unavoidable. That being said, the few recipes I have tried have been good. This book provides a balanced, sane approach to eating better.
review 2: Read this book at a family member's suggestion. As an RD I am always happy to see a eating book by an actual food expert. I have to tell you that this book is amazing for anyone - not just those that need to lose weight. It gives you some simple solutions to making sure that you have all the nutrients you need, not just cutting out calories. It focuses on loving and enjoying food instead of battling food. Thanks, Ms. Sass, for giving an RD some new ideas, and presenting information in a way that anyone can give it a try. And, yay for eating REAL food! less
