Helpful Score: 1
In the nutrition guide Get a Real Food Life, Whiteson and Rosenfeld tackle the obstacles that dieters and non-dieters alike face on a daily basis, from late night binging to restaurant orders. I was particularly impressed with the balance of advice and nutritional information; one section lists the types and combinations of meals that give us the nutrients we need, how much of a given nutrient/vitamin we need in a day, etc.
In addition, the authors delineate several different types of eating plans, and give an overview of carbohydrate-based eating, protein-based eating, three-square, and grazing style...they know that each of us is unique, and we need to do what feels right for us--not what the latest trends dictate.
They teach us how to keep a food journal, how to set realistic goals, and how to assess our progress. Most importantly, though, there is no end-all, be-all; on the contrary, Whiteson and Rosenfeld take a sensible approach to providing each of us with a unique key to more healthful living.
