Since good eating habits is a constant struggle with Hanna I found this book recommended. It is a great nutritional guide with a lot of fun recipes. Of course I did not follow the 12 week plan...

Good concrete advice. Takes awhile to get through the beginning, which is aimed towards people who don't know much about nutrition or healthy eating.
