review 1: Thanks to Julie for liking someone's review of this book so I'd see it on my Goodreads feed and discover it. This book is EXACTLY what I've been looking for to bring a little direction to what I'm eating. Rachel Beller's a registered dietician, but doesn't want to bore and overwhelm you with all that science stuff (although, it's in there--at the end of the book--if you want to read it). She doesn't want you to count calories or throw out whole food groups or do anything insanely crazy. She just wants to give you a couple of simple ideas that can basically take the meals and healthy foods you're already eating, and help you use them to lose weight. And, seriously, her ideas were enough for me to go "OH. I get it now."I love that Beller gives you her ideas right up front, i... moren simple, plain language, and then gives you tons of ideas for implementing them: recipes, which products on your store shelves are better for you than others, etc. She's done all the research--you can just pick which things sound good to you. No strict menus, nothing crazy. Just a way to eat that you could actually implement for the rest of your life. Basically, it's the book I've been looking for my whole adult life. 4 stars only because sometimes she's slightly over the top with the goofy tone. But the book is solid in its info. And it was a whopping $1.99 via Kindle yesterday. :)
review 2: This is a nutrition book written by a registered dietitian with a master's degree in nutritional science. She has been seen on The Biggest Loser and other TV shows. I had never seen her until I stumbled upon her book at the library.The book does not offer a "diet" to follow exactly, but rather a practical plan to ensure that you get enough healthy nutrients each day to lose weight and be healthy. There are a lot of pictures which show how many calories are in some typical foods~she calls this her "food autopsy" report. It's pretty eye-opening to realize that even a salad (with lots of add-ons) can equal 2 string cheeses, a slice of pizza, a donut and snack portion of potato chips. She gives healthier alternatives to save calories and increase the nutritional level.She believes in a high fiber breakfast and gives the science behind her thinking. She uses the "flip-it method" for lunches and dinners which means way more veggies, small amount of protein and little or no complex carb per meal. She does not count calories except for snacks.The book has some recipes (with pictures) and also pictures of her favorite products. She leans heavily toward organic products and explains why. At the end, she goes into more detail about the science behind the book, but not so complicated that the average reader can't understand it. She uses humor throughout the book which makes it an enjoyable read.I checked this book out from the library, but may consider purchasing it just for the practical hints, recipes and colorful pictures :) less
