Foodist by Darya Pino Rose, Ph.D - Book Report #233

This was a terrific book to give dieters a dose of reality.  To help people relax in pursuit of a new healthy eating plan.

In it she recommends eating real, whole, natural, unprocessed foods.  This is where the secret of weight loss without deprivation lives.   

You'll have to cook for yourself a lot more but you will benefit from all of the micronutrients and phytochemicals that are bountiful in fresh veggies and fruit.

One of her catchphrase is that "Life Should Be Awesome" - don't deny yourself the pleasures of life that food can provide.  You don't have to be an orthodox dieter.  Live life.  Have that burger, once in a while, if it makes you happy.  

You eat 21 meals in a week; if you slip from your path once or twice that means you've stayed true 90% of the time.

I recommend this book highly, especially for somebody who is just starting to venture into healthy eating.
