If you are looking for some good books about diet, I loved 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' (this is not a diet book, but it's about how food is produced in the US and why there is corn in absolutely everything nowadays); 'Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy', which DOES have very well founded science about diet. It's the only nutrional book I've ever read that actually covers all the major studies done about diet and says, "this is what we are very sure of, this is what we think is probably true, and this is what we're guessing." Very refreshing!
Also, I'm getting into the new Lifetime show "Cook Yourself Thin". It has a lot of really good tips.  |
where did you see the reviews. i would like to take a look. i am not surprised that there are bad reviews about the book. kind of reminds me of jenny mccarthy's stance on vaccines for children. it's not surprising to know that she faced a lot of negativity (and positivity) from her stance.
thanks for recommending the books, i am definitely going to check them out!
