Great nutrition reminder...

Informative book about nutrition.  I have gone to Missy for nutrition advice, and now I'm glad I have her book.

My diet principle is no rice or fries. I cut down on carbs and compensate on protein. This cookbook is perfectly compiled with the Nutrition facts of each recipe. Depending on a person's dietary discipline, this is a great guide in monitoring you calorie intake. I take a maximum of 1500 calories per day. If we're on the same page, you probably are thinking of looking at this book as a guide for recipes to match your diet. I'll definitely try the Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken with only 171.2 calories.

I had been trying one or two recipes each week.. So far they have all been delicious and filling. The recipes are great for `sneaking' in vegetables into the diet. Then I decided to follow the meal plan in the back of the book.

I became interest in the DASH diet to help me combat inflammation. After just four weeks on the diet I noticed an improvement in joint stiffness and pain. My energy has increased. The book comes with a 28 day meal plan for 2000 calories per day that can be adjusted down to 1200. I followed the 2000 calories since weight loss wasn't my main goal (this is still probably fewer calories than I was consuming). However, with the increase in energy I still lost a few pounds without feeling hungry or deprived.

The best part of the DASH diet and the recipes is that it is just plain good nutrition. Thus it is good for the whole family. You can prepare the recipe for everyone. I even served the Turkey Meatballs at a pot-luck and they were a hit.

David and his team do a great job in providing this dietary information.  We certainly use it as a guide even if we cannot find specific products.  Great read!

If you already know these tips, this little book serves as a great reminder as well!

I have several nutrition books, but this one really makes sense!!  It is a fast read and informative page after page, the information really impressed me.  I'm working on the eating suggestions now.

I needed this code for a nutrition class I was taking, but it was actually pretty cool to use. It gives you the option to track your diet and you can type in almost any food and it tells you nutrition facts for it. Even food at restaurants/fast food places. I used it for a little while after my class was over because it tells you what nutrients you are missing from your diet.

Great food tips!  This doesn't seem like a diet because there is so much food.  Can't wait to get started!

I appreciate the facts presented in this Nutrition Balance Guide book. I think the facts have been well-explained and properly given all the lights that they must have.

In this fast-paced life, eating healthy foods is really becoming a challenge especially since "fast foods" are rampant and very convenient. But thanks to this book, I am now more aware of the healthy and the not so healthy and those that I should totally avoid.

This was recommended to me by a friend at Weight Watchers...I love the fact it has the point value for each recipe in this book.

You are an inspiration! Everybody has a story and I think it amazing that you have shared yours and inspired so many people not only to live and eat healthier but also to share their stories.

My childhood was in Finland playing in the snow at winter and in the forest and lake at summer, and the in the tropics of Singapore. In London and university I started to get into fitness and running, and felt amazing. However, a low of overtraining and poor nutrition (undereating and undernourishment) hit. Since then I am back up, training hard but smart, nutrition in check, and listening to my body. Now I feel amazing and my fitness and health are better than ever. I have actually trained to become a Personal Trainer and now Outdoor & Running Instructor, trying to help others with their health. I believe in a whole approach to health  all aspects of fitness and movement, good nutrition, sleep and rest, a positive mindset, being in the outdoors. I am still constantly working on each aspect but feel I keep getting better :)

You completely exude these in every way! You move, eat naturally, believe in the power of sleep. And you are such a positive happy person!

And in terms of the nutrition aspect you have helped a lot. You have shown me the joy of colours and variety. I has already started eating vegan and mostly raw wholefoods before I found you, however my food was all greens and browns/whites with the occassional blueberries (favourite food ever!). Now I eat the whole spectrum and it is actually fun to prepare and eat food :) Also know I am getting all the micronutrients and essential nutrients I need, so not obsessing over supplements. Thank you so much! And you continue to inspire.

Also I never forget one of your ideas of moving with the sunrise and sunset. I try to keep aligned with this (though at winter with the European darkness it can be difficult!)

Keep doing what you're doing :) Thanks so much!

One of my favorite gems from this book is from the What Women Want special section. Gentlemen, as you incorporate exercise choices into your strength training program remember this advice from the authors: The best reason to get in shape and stay in shape is because of what it does for YOU (my emphasis). When you look better you feel better, and when you feel better you look better. The book sets you up with a well-rounded exercise and nutrition program to help you sensibly get in shape. If it helps you get what women want, consider it a nice side effect. :-)

Yes, we've all heard this before . . . a little here, a little there . . . this diet, that diet . . . a superfood, no longer a superfood.  But, what Dr. Stork has done is fit good medical sense into a correct, concise nutshell of incentive and motivation and the why's. The meal plans and recipes are simple, showing you how to follow his direction or teaching you how to plan your own meals mindfully (without outrageous ingredients). Whether you need to lose weight or not this book is a good go to reminder of how we should be eating, what we should be eating and why.

I have a hard time keeping track of my food but not my exercising and this book helps! It lets me see what I ate and if I think it was good or just eh/could be better. Plenty of room to write exercises but found I need more room for the days I strength training. I like how you determine if the day was good, what you're short term & long term goals are. Helps me to keep track of not just my exercising but the food I consume as well so I know for sure what I'm doing to get healthy. I like how I can look back at the week and determine if it was good, could be better, I did awesome, etc.. Once the 12 weeks are up, I'll be buying another to continue my journey to meet my goal.
