Nutrition Diva's Secrets for a Healthy Diet: What to Eat, What to Avoid, and What to Stop Worrying about by Monica Reinagel

4.0

It's hard for me to review this because I didn't really learn anything new as far as eating healthy goes - I'm pretty well read (and practiced) in that area already. But it has a nice conversational tone that I like, far too many of these types of books are really 'dry' for me and hard to get through. I like that it's not food fad-ish and even goes out of it's way to debunk a lot of 'diet myths' like how eating at night is bad for you (untrue) and that you *have* to drink a lot of water, etc. The tables throughout the book and at the end are very helpful for seeing in a glance the differences between certain types of foods, like bread, artificial sweeteners, oils, etc., so that you can make the best choice for your needs.

If you are already following a healthy diet I don't think you need to read this book but it could be an eye-opener/jump start to those who are looking to make some solid, non food fad-type changes to their diet.
