Are You on a Diet? Then Read This…….
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My current bedtime reading is You on a Diet by Michael Roizen, MD and Mehmet Oz, MD. I have been a fan of Mehmet Oz for sometime and couldn’t resist picking up his new book. While I am only in the first chapter, I can already recommend this book to each of you.
First, I like it because it is NOT a journal article and secondly, because I am inspired by it. My education provided me with a working knowledge of the digestive system and the guidelines for a healthy diet, but I certainly am not a nutritionist. And I am human, with cravings, secret chocolates stashes, and a weakness for cheese.
So I really appreciate the approach the authors take in educating the reader about how our bodies work, why we have cravings, what food does for our bodies, and empowers us to respond with reason and elegance as we go forward in our lives and “diet”. But really it is not about going forward and “dieting”, it is about knowledge influencing every choice you make about food and choosing a healthier lifestyle because you know the effect it will have on your body and life.
Overweight, underweight or just right, this book is a MUST for every adult.
