I really like the author's approach to this book. She identifies the major key obstacles to eating healthily, and then sets out some useful strategies for blasting past (or sneaking past) those obstacles. I think most people are like me in that they will have seen one or even several of these strategies before, but having these several good handfuls of ideas for all the obstacles all in one place is quite helpful.My favorite line in the book, during her pro-healthy eating introductory material: "Nothing bad comes from eating healthy...." True, that. And it made me chuckle.One line in the book I'd question: "Next on the list of obstacles is taste. Let's face it, healthy foods are not the best tasting variety available...." Actually, my own experience is quite the opposite. The more I eat healthy (lots and lots and LOTS of veggies), the better veggies taste. When you get away from sugars and other processed foods, your palate changes and it's amazing how sweet and delicious ALL natural food can taste. My husband is now eating brussels sprouts, something he'd patently refused to do for years before we went all healthy. And what a joy it is to crave vegetables. It IS possible -- if your eating is healthy enough (translation: more vegetables). So take heart! Eating healthy CAN be its own reward!I think most people (of either sex) would pick up some really helpful tips from Healthy Eating Guide for Busy Women. Recommended.
