Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets Reveals All, December 31, 2004
This review is from: Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy: America's Most Renowned African American Nutritionist Shows You How to Look Great, Feel Better, and Live Longer by Eating Right (Hardcover)
Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy is a must have book. It not only gives good nutritional information but it entertains you as well.
I use it as a reference book when shopping for groceries, eating out, and prepairing my meals. The way Dr. Ro sheds light on certain well known nutritional fallacies is refreshing. Simply put, she breaks it down so everyone can understand. I also like the recommendations she offers for losing weight and making small incremental changes in my lifestyle.

humor and diet, October 3, 2005
This review is from: Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy: America's Most Renowned African American Nutritionist Shows You How to Look Great, Feel Better, and Live Longer by Eating Right (Hardcover)
Contains a wealth of knowledge of diet and nutrition and several interesting recipes that I have already tried. The book is well written and the author has a sense of humor. I only wish there were more recipes. I am white and unfamiliar with some of the food, but I am having a wonderful time learning. It is fun to go to the supermarket and seek out some of these products. I enjoyed the book thoroughly.

This review is from: Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy: America's Most Renowned African American Nutritionist Shows You How to Look Great, Feel Better, and Live Longer by Eating Right (Hardcover)
Dr. Rowena M. Brock, America's most renowned African American nutritionist
insists that a healthy existence is contingent on more than the consumption
of a proper diet. With Dr. RO'S TEN SECRETS TO LIVIN' HEALTHY, she shares
the full repertoire. Using her own inspiring story and examples from other
women as well, she discusses the health, fitness and cultural issues that
are unique to black women. She shares the positive and negatives of food
consumption, along with the idea that in order to change your life you
have to change how you think. You must understand the roles of fitness,
food and nutrition.
Spurred by her mother's illnesses, induced primarily because of an
unhealthy diet, Dr. Brock seemed destined to study nutrition as a
profession. She has been a practicing nutritionist for over twenty years
and has amassed impressive credentials. She has hosted Black Entertainment
Television's Heart and Soul, and is an award winning lecturer and health
reporter. Dr. Ro currently airs on a weekly radio show on WHUR-FM with
her own health segment.
Dr. Brock talks extensively about the 'Big Ten' myths of miracle weight-
loss diets, how to prevent obesity, how to stop living in denial, and the
importance of eating right and exercising. DR. RO'S TEN SECRETS TO LIVIN'
HEALTHY shows how to lose weight, gain strength and adopt a lifestyle that
can work for you.
'A woman is free if she prizes her own individuality, creates her own
destiny, and puts no boundaries on her hopes for tomorrow' -- Dr. Ro
