More About the Author

My "thing" is that I keep up with the current nutrition research. I've been reading 100s of research studies for years, then packaging that information into news-you-can-use for magazines, books, national and local television and radio, presentations to the general public, and continuing education seminars for health professionals. I specialize in understandable and practical information on how to eat and supplement and why to prevent disease and premature aging, promote health, and attain and maintain a healthy weight. For the past two decades, my aim has been to be the source of nutrition information that people can really trust to be accurate, up-to-date, and sound. I passionately love the science of nutrition, as well as cooking and preparing healthy meals, and believe with all my heart that if people just nourished their bodies with high-quality fuel, they would be rewarded a hundred-fold with health, energy, vitality, longevity, clear thinking, a fit figure, and improved moods.

This review is from: Advanced weight control techniques for nurses: Behavior modification (Paperback)

Don't be fooled by the title and lack of cover image on this one. This book is an old Western Press publication for nurses to get CEU's. There are much better books out there including the author's 10 Habits That Mess Up A Woman's Diet which has all of the same information without the annoying tests sprinkled throughout. The book is geared to the RN who back in the day had to be versed in nutrition as well but we have long since left this as a requirement. There are no tips for the RN who has to deal with working 12hr shifts, managing her diet during a busy shift, and trying to grab something sensible to eat. Don't waste your time or money on this loser!
