The Best Science Based Eating Well Book I've read

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. I finally feel like I'm off the "latest diet" fad treadmill and back onto a healthy eating plan for life. Also all the information on supplements and dosage is invaluable.

What about Professor Roberta H. Anding’s performance did you like?

very pleasant

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

one class doesn't have all of the answers

Any additional comments?

The professor says that you can only get vitamin b-12 from animal products but I have found through some research that it is also in nutritional yeast. Also there is a good amount of calcium in black strap molasses.

Great Information

As other reviewers have said it is a very informative series. you can also get the PDF version the author mentions by googling "Roberta Anding PDF"

I learned a lot, very instructive and interesting.

get educated about food and health

Roberta has all chapters expertly outlined to help you understand what foods are good for you and how to balance your nutritional needs for weight loss and sports and everything in between. a must listen or read for everyone interested in good health and weight management.... really everyone who eats should listen to this audio.

Very Helpful

Rather than try the next new diet fad or nutritional supplement, why don't you listen to this course! You will learn how to nourish your self with the food you eat and take better care of yourself with moderate exercise. Simple and straightforward ideas.

Great lecture series with sound science

As a physician I am always looking for good nutrition information to recommend for my patients. I think this is a good concise look at nutrition, what to eat and why and why its better to get vitamins and minerals from foods than from supplements. I only wish the course book she mentions was available since it seems to have extra information that i think would be helpful for the reader. If there were supplemental information, then it would have 5 stars.

very well put together

i loved the program. As someone who started lookin into nutrition quite recently (4-5 months intensively), I found it as a great source to answer a lot of questions and CONTRADICTIVE information I could find on the Internet. I don't need to agree with every bit of information presented to keep it in high regards. The information presented is tried and tested. Maybe there is something better in experimental phase but for astounding base of knowledge this is the way to go or where to start :)

Worth The Investment

If you could sum up Nutrition Made Clear in three words, what would they be?

Concise, clear and relevant.

What did you like best about this story?

Information presented clearly, and it wasn't the same nutrition information you see in other books.

Have you listened to any of Professor Roberta H. Anding’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Same as the title of the course!

Any additional comments?

Disappointed there is no Guidebook included with this purchase. I may end up buying the course again from the publisher site just to get the book unless Audible can assist here. Audible????

Informative and Interesting

As a scientist I appreciated Dr. Anding’s very clear explanation of what is known, what is not, and what is speculation. Her narration is exceptionally easy to understand. The case examples drive home important points. Reinforced lifelong learning while adding the basis for good nutrition and adding useful tips.
