Review: Useful reminders and tips
Rating: 4 out of 5

I found this a useful book - it's quite short, so it's easier for the reader to remember the key elements and recommended foods! I felt that the book was written for 'American moms' (and I am neither American or a mom) so some of the references to sugary treats - and some other foods - left me none the wiser. However this goes with the territory where books are being read internationally, and I do not consider it to be a flaw.I thought the book contained a lot of information that was, to my mind, common sense - perhaps this is down to me having done a lot of reading about eating for health in the past. Health-aware readers may appreciate the reminders.Although I am not an expert on metabolism or diet, it appears that the author has done her research, adding plenty of background to illustrate why she recommends each food (or drink) and how it impacts on our bodies, energy and weight.There is sensible emphasis on water being the drink of choice, and for eating natural foods.I received an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
