How To Eat: All Your Food and Diet Questions Answered: A Food Science Nutrition Weight Loss Book

Other than a few details on macronutrients, there wasn’t anything in this book that I didn’t already know as someone who has been interested in food my entire life. Yet, I gave it a high rating because Bittman and Katz do present a lot of common sense, evidence-based information in an accessible way that would be very useful to anyone who feels lost about what to eat.

Das Buch ist wohl auf amerikanisches Bildungsniveau ausgerichtet. Es geht in einem Frage-Antwort-Spiel für Grundschüler auf viele Fragen zur Ernährung ein. Hier gibt es kompetenteres wie das Buch zur "Next Generation Diet" von Dr. Johann Weiss.

I have spent two weeks strictly adhering to the diet. I feel noticeably better and psychologically higher. It helped that I didn’t eat meat for five years but could not resist sweets. And each sweet bite made me feel guilty, so I took another bite.I’ll check back in two months and two years.And I have never enjoyed what I have been eating as much as I have in the last two weeks.
