As we know, all the things we like to eat are high in calories, fat, sugar and sodium. The book explains why they are bad for you, how to keep track and replacement foods.

I am a biochemist and thus found things to criticize, but it is a helpful book with considerable good advice about what you should and should not eat and buy. It helps you interpret food labels, avoid falling for the hype that is so common on them, and choose foods that actually will help you lose weight. One thing I appreciated, which is uncommon in books of this sort, it does not prescribe a great many unbreakable rules. I'm going to copy five pages to keep before I pass it on to the library to help someone else.

Read the 2020 paperback 4th edition with 220 pages.
Very informative without being preachy. Logical, easy to follow advice on how to eat healthy for optimal nutrition - not a weight loss bible! Included advice on supplements, and acknowledged the different nutritional needs as we advance through life. Anyone with half a brain could recognize the "super foods" we've heard do much about. Loved that is was entirely objective and didn't promote anyone's agenda.

general good advice that is great for the average person looking to eat better. I say "general" as this booklet doesn't go into optimizing nutrition but again, it's a Consumer Report booklet; it's *good* guidelines to help and encourage the general public, not the latest in health optimization to super decrease aging or a scientific publication.

Surprisingly a good read. Consumer Reports has a lot of good books, especially the one on cars. Although I did not agree with some of the foods listed as being not good for you as I am on the Ketogenic Diet and try not to eat sweets and watch my carb intake.
