Diet fads come and
go. We’ve had the low fat diet, the low carb diet, the South Beach
Diet, the Atkins Diet and others. From current research it seems
clear that any diet that insists on not eating one type of food is
not going to work for all people. I enjoyed this book. It makes the
point that diets need to be individualized and that eating fat is not
the real problem.
The book contains a
great deal of information on current research. Karvandi, a fitness
coach, explains the current finding in language easy to understand by
anyone interested in nutrition. He explains fat metabolism and goes
into detail about how it keeps the body function in a healthy way.
If you read a lot of
nutrition advice, the book doesn’t present anything new, but it is
explained well. I recommend this book for beginners or people who are
interested in nutrition and don’t have much time to study it.
In addition to the
description of body function and recommendations for foods to eat and
those to avoid, the author includes a number of recipes and a diet
plan for those who want to try his method.
This book is short,
easy to read and even if you don’t plan to take on all his
recommendations, you’ll learn a lot about food and exercise.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
