Customer Reviews

Even the book is nutrient-dense

This is the practical guide I've been waiting for and unable to find. Why hasn't somebody written this book before? It's essentially a user's manual for the human body. The tables alone are well worth the price of the book. In addition, every word in this elegantly written book is as carefully-chosen and nutrient-dense as the foods Dr. Margel recommends. Finally, we can easily understand not just what to eat, but why our body needs what it needs. Plus, the step-by-step plan allows one to start right where one is and set realistic, achievable goals. I'll recommend this valuable guide to all. Bravo!

What every person needs to know and practice

Doug Margel's book is a "must read" for people trying to make sense out of the piles of information (and mis-information) in the field of nutrition. This book is chock-full of insights and common, practical wisdom without the hype. I highly recommend this book to everyone, particularly if your searching for a guide that can help you restore yourself back to a healty balance.

Great and much needed info

Doug makes it fun and compelling and relaxed to explore nutrient dense eating. I've been moving in that direction for ~ 6 months and feel great. This is important information that everyone should have and it's presented intelligently and lightly. Lots of information and a great reference guide to refer back to again and again.
