Product Description

When MIND, the mental health charity, helped to launch "The Food and Mood Project", the media went straight to Amanda Geary, the project's originator and a nutritionist herself. "The Mind Meal" was launched and this handbook should be invaluable to everyone who has suffered from mood swings, food cravings, any form of eating disorder, hypoglycaemia, or PMS. The book also introduces many key issues and gives practical self-help advice on: sugar sensitivity, the caffeine effect, stresses on your system, supplements, low GI foods, allergy culprits (wheat/milk), with recipes and tips from project participants.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!
This is a really excellent book that is very enjoyable to read as it is well set out. It gives clear explanations as to why foods affect the mind, and gives many practical examples to improve mood. A must, for anyone who suffers from any kind of mood disorder such as depression. There are plenty of interesting case studies to back up what is being said. Clear guidelines are given with regards to going on a elimination diet, which can be very difficult to do. This should be mandatory reading for every nutritionist and student nutritionist alike. Well done!

Excellent resource.
An excellent resource book relating food to those affected with/experiencing mood problems. Nutrionist Amanda Geary discusses topics such as food groups, sensitivities, intolerances, current thinking on neuro-biological chemicals and diet plans involved in mood in a down-to-earth and easy to read book which covers one hell of a lot. Dont buy other books if you are interested in this area, I have read many other books and this book explains and guides in much more depth, broadness and clarity than any other comparable book out there. Amanda may also help you look at areas of your diet that other auithors completely ignore. I defintitely recomend this useful and potentially life-changing/enriching book.

At last there is a book relating food to different moods
At last someone has written a book relating how different foods and minerals affect your moods and mental health and well being. This book has been a very useful book and it has widened my knowledge about a lot of food groups.
