Your Everyday Nutrition

"This fun, breezy guide positions the authors as both experts and the reader’s best friends, encouraging, advising, and cheering on." —Publisher's Weekly
As a registered dietitian and a health industry expert, Ilyse Schapiro and Hallie Rich know people will cheat on their diets, dine out, consume alcohol, and have (hopefully plenty of) sex. They also know people have questions about it all. (Who doesn’t?) While many people may feel comfortable asking their best friend, they really want expert advice. That’s where this book will help.

Rather than turn to social media, Chat GPT, or Google for answers to daily health questions, Schapiro and Rich reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. Based on their thirty years of combined experience in the health field, they provide realistic approaches to each topic without getting too technical. 

They are able to cover the multitude of questions that constantly top the list, including:

Is intermittent fasting a good way to cut calories?
Are smoothies good for snacks or meal replacements?
Is it time to get on the gluten-free bandwagon?
I have salads for lunch every day, and I’m still not losing weight. What am I doing wrong?
I’m tired of feeling tired. What can I do to lose the urge to snooze?
I eat well, so what’s the point of a multivitamin?

They reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. With so much information and so many “rules” out there, this book gives readers the tools to sort through the BS and know what is truly important and actually relevant to their health.

Değerlendirmeler

"Why do men lose weight faster than women? What if I’m still hungry after dinner? Are there foods that help speed up metabolism? These and other questions related to healthy eating are answered in this amusing and informative book by dietitian/nutritionist Schapiro, aided by Rich. Here readers will find the truth about gluten-free eating, enhanced waters, and other timely topics. VERDICT Not a diet book per se but a strong collection of useful general information." —Library Journal

"Schapiro and Rich write in a style that will make readers feel like they’re at a girlfriends’ night out, drinking wine (empty calories!) and getting 'no-holds-barred' answers for 'every modern woman wondering why her weight is high, her libido is low, and her mind is scattered.' The book covers 99 common questions about health and diet. Organization can be a little light—sometimes related topics are grouped together, and sometime not. Still, the questions are timely, many relating to popular diet fads and strategies: should one 'scoop out' a bagel, eat wraps instead of sandwiches, or go completely gluten-free? It’s all here: sugar; soda; jet lag; dessert; eating out; dark meat vs. light. . . . This fun, breezy guide positions the authors as both experts and the reader’s best friends, encouraging, advising, and cheering on." —Publisher's Weekly
