Book Reviews of Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating
Book Review: A Thoughtful And Academic Read
Summary: 3 Stars
This book does a good job of delineating the factors in planning and practicing the consuming of a healthy diet and nutritional principles. It most definitely have an academic flavor, and is the type of book that you would want to pick up to do research on the subject of health and nutrition.
Overall, I found the book informative interesting but not necessarily riveting in the detailed explanation of dietary factors from one chapter to the next.
Book Review: A great book on nutrition.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. It revolutionized the way I eat. Full of information and a pleasant reading. I am very picky about books, but for this one, I want to tell you: READ THIS BOOK!Book Review: A great way to understand your health
Summary: 5 Stars
I very much enjoyed this book. I have spent my entire life on a diet but never understood the meaning behind diet rules and theories. This was a great read on nutrition and really helped me to understand the medical implications of the food choices we make. The author did a great job simplifying complex medical terms and provided a balanced thoughtful view on eating, drinking and being healthy.
Book Review: A must read for those interested in factual nutrition information
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been on the market for a number of years, but the information in it remains timely and as up to date as anything out there. Dr Willett provides fact based information on all aspects of nutrition, and anyone who has read this book would not be at all surprised by recent study results on the effects of fat in the diet. This is not a "how to" book, and it doesn't provide a quick fix diet like most current "nutrition" books. What it does provide is a well founded knowledge base on diet which, if incorporated into daily life, will result in weight loss, lower cholesterol, and a general feeling of "nutritional superiority".Book Review: A solid guide to nutrition
Summary: 4 Stars
The claims in this book are all backed by solid evidence from years of research - the author frequently cites studies from Harvard and elsewhere. The advice in this book is broken down in a way that makes it easy to follow, and the book is full of practical tips on how to put the recommendations into practice. The only drawback is that it is not the most exciting read, but if you are looking for some solid nutritional advice, then I would strongly recommend this book.
