Informative and easy to listen to.

Speaker has a pleasant voice. Information was pertinent & well conveyed. Practical & helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Very informative

I have read and listened to several nutrition books and still found the depth and comprehensiveness of this course very helpful. Roberta obviously has a great deal of expertise and passion for the topic and I enjoyed listening to her lectures.

Great Value, jammed packed with tons of info

Prior to downloading this product you should know that it is in a college lecture format. That being said, it is well organized, loaded with useful information and upon finishing this audible gem, I can honestly say my life has been changed for the better. I downloaded this book in exchange for my treasured audible credit and what I received in return is priceless. Thank you, Roberta Anding, for sharing a wealth of information in a clear, concise manner with relatable examples which make understanding very easy. I am only sad that I learned such important information at 43 years old. Possibly, this is information that others know or find to be common knowledge but that was not the case for me. I can now share the information with my family. Great find!

My favourite GC so far!

Great no-nonsense entry to nutrition. The author doesn't seems to read, but rather speaks, as during a lecture. this makes it very engaging and 'real'. Good solid scientific evidence, mixed with a lot of holistic and common sense; the 'driving in the middle of the road' through and through. As a health professional I absolutely loved the detail and the non patronizing tone. The author is obviously passionate and enthusiastic about her discipline, and backs it up with very solid, wide experience.
As in most others GC, there seems to be US-centrism; I would love to hear some wider world inclusiveness and addressing.
I learned a lot of valuable knowledge to be able to build on it with further education.
Thank you!

The trut based on Scientific facts,

I'm going to get the books that go with this. I really appreciated the biochemical explanations and the physiology that pokes holes in most diets out there. I feel better informed and feel I can make more educated choices.

Why is this stuff taught in schools

Ever second of the book is fill with valuable information. This is an absolute must read.

Life Changing Course!!!

What a wonderful informative course! I’m actually excited to start on a new journey of health. I listened to a chapter or two a day and it was perfect. I already started implementing changes and actually lost 3 pounds ❤️

Was a great listen

Very informative, a little technical if your goal is listening to ot in the car, but overall you learn a lot.

Title says it all

Fact based diet guidelines.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The narrator.

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

Her sharing of her practical experiences as a certified dietician.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did have an extreme reaction. It changed how I eat fundamentally. I am now where I belong weight wise, and that is saying something.

Any additional comments?

If you only read one book on nutrition...Oh, and you can skip the in depth stuff on individual vitamins and minerals without diminishing the benefits of her story. The book functions as a reference manual as well. You may not really care how long vitamin B stays in your system.

Nutrition knowledge aimed at getting the basics right

I’ve not studied nutrition explicitly - just a little here and there. This book increased my knowledge of nutrition of the basics - the building blocks of good nutrition. I plan to reread this book from time to time to digest the knowledge more fully.
