A True Education In Eating Healthily
Outstanding Book. The perfect tool for the average person who's never ventured into a health foof store and thinks that nuts are simply for eating at parties when all the good food has gone. Undoubtedly an education, written for the average Joe who is committed to changing a life-time of bad eating practices. It does take perserverence and a willingness to learn and cook differently using this book. Its not for the quick flick through approach to learning about new healthier foods and cooking. But once you master the new ingredients and start to cook, the taste, variety and health benefits are undeniable. Every kitchen should have this book in it. Excellent

Simple progression to a healthier eating plan
I have read many books on healthy eating plans and the one thing that stops me from succeeding is that I try to change too quickly doing too many new things. This book is arranged in a month by month guide starting in January with a look at how to improve after the Christmas excesses. It tackles a different subject each month, going through the year so that if you take on the concept each month, by the end of the year you will be surprised at how your diet has changed, almost without you knowing.

It is not the definitive guide but a good gentle start to a better way of eating.

Life isn't all mitso soup and quinoa
Not being particularly attracted to slippery elm and dandelion tea as advocated by Gillian McKeith I found this book used foods that I and my family are more likely to eat on a sustained basis. Gillian's hard and fast rules are great for jolting the system when one is feeling motivated but there are some things that I will never get a taste for. Using this book in conjunction with the other You Are What You Eat publications provides an extensive range of recipes using food items that are, in the main, available in the local Spar. The energy bars are really delicious and easy and straightforward to make. There are also lots of good ideas for family meals together with puddings and treats when you just need something a little bit sinful.
