Book Review: Feeding You Lies

Before you unwrap that food and ingest, you may want to ask yourself: what are the ingredients, are these ingredients nutritious, and where do these ingredients come from. I recommend this book and appreciate all of Vani Hari's efforts to make our food safer for our health and environment.

The book is full of well-documented research. You don’t have to read it cover-to-cover; you can skip around to the areas that interest you. The 48-hour toxin takedown is not complicated and thoroughly explained. The author (founder of FoodBabe.com) inspires you to do your part, vote with your wallet, and get involved where and when you can. The best resource is the Appendix, with all questionable ingredients identified and explained.

Book Review: What I Eat

Eighty people from around the globe share their narrative and what they typically eat on an ordinary day. The authors traveled to 30 countries and more than a dozen U.S. states to meticulously capture food intake, calories, age, activity level, height, weight, and most importantly, their stories.

I highly recommend this book for all nutritionists and foodies alike.

Book Review: The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners

This book is written for someone who is considering the ketogenic diet. It is easy-to-read and prescriptive without being overwhelming. If you are already following this keto lifestyle, you probably will not glean much new information. This is like a keto 101 book.
