There’s nothing ground-breaking in the dietary approaches in this book, but then I don’t expect that from the American Heart Association. Expect, in No-Fad Diet, a good run-down of currently accepted practices. What this book is missing in personality, it gains in clarity of presentation. If you’re feeling motivated and inspired to lose weight while improving heart health, this is a quickly read and easily understood approach with just enough flexibility to feel in control of your own journey. If you need some inspiration, look elsewhere — but there are lots of websites, books, and support groups to help with that aspect.
A very good guide to starting a healthy lifestyle. However, I found that many of the diet plans relied on dairy products rather than whole foods. Further, many of the recipes relied on prepared products and food substitutes rather than cooking from scratch. So if you want your daily dose of gmo's this book can lead the way.
This has something for everyone in it... different types of diets to follow, and a large collection of recipes that look great! I can't wait to try some of them. I definitely wouldn't feel deprived eating these foods.
