A clever, compact diet book that could serve as a solid source of nutritional and self-help goodness. But how useful is that when a wealth of nutritional information lies a Google search away? And how much can you trust a 14-year old book on a subject that's the focus of so much modern science?
But worse than that, this bite-sized compendium has a strange habit of contradicting itself. The most egregious example being that it spends a whole chapter detailing important vitamins and minerals and which foods to find them in, but in a later chapter states that looking up vitamin/mineral totals is generally pointless because you can just take a multivitamin. Sometimes it feels like different parts of the book were written by different people with different philosophies.
The intro is worthwhile and maybe some of the recipes will catch your fancy, but probably not worth a buy... at least not while Google searches are free.

Helpful. But it makes me nervous when I see things like eating "reduced fat". I thought those were worse for you?
