Ms. Jordan's book is written in a very personal style, full of her experiences which make the book readable and credible as a guide to better eating. Her book takes the fear out of changing eating habits and leads the reader in to a healthier way of looking at foods, ingredients and flavors. Changing one's palate takes time, but her advice on how to make healthier substitutions helps the palate changes more immediate. Overall, this delightful book is a great place to start changing what we eat and how to enjoy the changes for a healthier life.

Melanie's down-to-earth way of showing people how to adopt healthier eating habits with their favorite foods is a winner. I wish I could get more of my patients to adopt this kind of healthy eating style!

Have Your Cheeseburger And Keep Your Health Too! by health, fitness, and food safety expert Melanie R. Jordan is a practical, straightforward, "reader friendly" guide to balancing a healthy overall diet with a limited yet delectable amount of indulgence in luxuries -- such as the American cheeseburger. From grocery shopping with an eye for health, to learning how to effectively maintain one's ideal weight, Have Your Cheeseburger And Keep Your Health Too! is practical, informative, quality of life enhancing reading for the health-conscious.

Have Your Cheeseburger And Keep Your Health Too! has given me information for a new goal -- to make positive changes in my eating habits. Melanie's fun approach to a usually boring topic has made me think I can make changes and enjoy the process."--

This book was written by a real person with a normal life, not a celebrity with their own in-house nutritionist/chef. The chapters "Making The Transition", "So, What The Heck Am I Going To Eat", "What To Expect From Other People" and "Eating Out" were especially helpful and realistic.

Having been a yo-yo dieter myself, my biggest problem was finding an eating style I could actually maintain for life. Melanie provides many solutions to select from. And while the book was an easy read, it also had some very good, serious facts about GMOs and trans-fats. I heartily recommend this book!

Whether you are toying with the idea of making some changes towards a healthier lifestyle, or are a
serious contender for a major change, I found "Have Your Cheeseburger And Keep Your Health Too!" a
clear, easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide. Unlike many books on the subject that take an "all or nothing"
approach, Melanie uses a first-person style of communicating that lets you move as quickly or slowly
towards your goals (and even understands that you can occasionally backslide without scolding)!

The guidance and recipes she provides lead you gently into a healthier lifestyle of shopping, preparing
food, eating and exercise, while still allowing you to keep your old favorite comfort foods. Melanie is a
welcome new and unique voice in the area of how to move towards a healthier lifestyle.
