Publisher's summary

Nutrition is essential to living a healthy, happy, and successful life. Yet a world of misconceptions and promises of easy results too often stands in our way - and can even be harmful to our overall health.

The key is to cut through the noise and find the medically backed, statistically proven information about healthy eating and living. These 36 in-depth lectures explore the fundamentals of good nutrition and offer a practical guide for applying these fundamentals to your lifestyle. The power of nutrition lies not just in grasping the concepts behind it, but also in applying those concepts to daily living. This means learning where to find authoritative nutrition information, mastering the science behind nutrients and the body, recognizing what your personal daily requirements of each nutrient should be, building a distinct exercise regimen, and more.

A dietitian and award-winning lecturer, Professor Anding gives you a wealth of invaluable tips you can easily apply to your own eating habits. You'll learn how to calculate your own dietary needs, how to create your own nutrition and exercise plans, how to recognize when a product or service is really a health fraud, and more.

Crafted with the needs of individual people in mind, this course is both a fascinating learning experience and the perfect investment in your personal health - one that will educate you, motivate you, and reward you for the rest of your life.

Incredibly informative.

This is the kind of nutritional science I've been trying to access for years. It's detailed, science based and exhaustive, and, in this format, affordable. Wish there was more reference material available but I kind of understand why it's not provided; after all, you want that, you should get the full course at The Great Courses. Good Job Prof. Anding.

Great content but no guidebook

A lot - and I mean a lot of information in these lectures. She references the guidebook which you get when you purchase the Great Courses programs but is not found here. I will be buying the guidebook- even if I have to get the whole package so I can fully dive in to changin

college in a few work book

loved it!!the work books education is not over whelming, need to to know this information

Clear and balanced

I was looking for some good nutritional information and was afraid this might include fad diets and nutritional supplements and bogus claims about antioxidants, vitamins and other "nutritional supplements". I was pleasantly surprised by the speakers knowledge and sticking to what is known through scientific study. She gives great explanations and the course should be understandable regardless of your previous health care background or lack of.

Practical, Informative, Interesting

So informative and offered with interesting stories and personality.
I'll go back k often to refresh my memory.
Chapter clearly marked for easy reference.
Thank you, Roberta.

Learned a lot

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot. It was easy to listen to

Full of great advice

I learned things I didn't know and will be able to use every day. I would encourage my kids to listen to this.

Amazing!

I loved listening to this! I do a lot of research on nutrition and I’m in the military so I don’t have all the time in the world to go to school. I have so many friends that come up to me asking for advice cause I read a lot of your books and challenge it with others . Following a lot of the steps in this audio book really do give the best results.

A course worth a few books

This course is worth a few books. Practical and full of tips, it teaches dietetics in its best. In addition, a large portion is devoted to weight management and physical activity, so as a bonus you will also get a know-how in physical activity and training.

great information for anyone concerned about their

one of the best of complete books I've ever read on nutrition and health. I would highly recommend everyone read this and use the information provided going forward in their life. I will read this again later this year just as a refresher.
