Nutripoints remains my favorite book on healthy eating. Nutripoints is a "no-fad" system based on straight science and facts. Using a proprietary grading system, foods are assigned a numerical score based on nutritional qualities, taking into account both positive and negative factors. The higher the Nutripoint score, the better the food choice. Unlike some nutritional programs, where you are given a "point" allowance or asked to avoid certain foods, the Nutripoints system utilizes a positive approach to nutritional eating by encouraging users to actually "score" Nutripoints by eating foods with higher Nutripoint values. It is the only system I know where you can actually compare how foods stack up against each other nutritionally while at the same time losing weight and eating better. Nutripoints is unique in that it can work well with almost any other diet program while also being able to stand alone as a complete nutritional dietary approach.

Having struggled with my weight for many years after college, I have tried almost every diet out there. Using Nutripoints as my guide, I safely and effectively shed 80 pounds, while maintaining optimal nutrition. Thanks to the positive and healthy approach of Nutripoints, I am once again the same weight and size that I was in college - 20 years later!

Healthy eating is a game we Americans are losing these days - big time! I consider Nutripoints my nutritional "playbook". Thanks to Nutripoints, I know what foods to buy and eat and what foods to avoid. The Nutripoints "point" system makes healthy eating positive, easy and fun. If you want to win the nutritional game, you have to score points.....Nutripoints! Do yourself a favor - forget all the "fad" diets out there and buy this book.

Nutripoints is an excellent way for individuals to learn to eat a balanced healthy diet that promotes health and healing in the body. We use Nutripoints in all of our programs at The Center of Integrative Medicine in Richmond, VA. Nutripoints teaches the value of nutrient dense foods and also simplifies how to identify and incorporate these foods into their diet.Our patients not only see improvement in their health but also lose weight. Patients on average lose 21-22 lbs. in 12 weeks with Nutripoints. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to improve their health and learn more about how food contributes to our overall health!

This book really does make heathy eating (choices) simple. I particularly found valuable the section on "science of optimal nutrition" and the thorough lists and tables that rate each food you may come across for its health benefits. The system is so easy that I am able to use the book and wall charts for both patients and my young children. It's a breeze to read.
I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in health through proper diet and nutrition.

I've tried most "diets" but Nutripoints is a way of life. My objective was to get healthier and, after 9 weeks, I'm making better food choices, losing weight gradually and continually, and am happy and content with my eating. But best of all my Type 2 Diabetes is "healing"! My glucose has gone from 257 to 149 and my A1C, from 7.3 to 6.7! I still have a ways to go but my doctor is thrilled with my progress and I'm almost off my medication. I like being able to finally "eat right" without the hassel of dieting and am so glad I discovered Dr. Vartabedian and Nutripoints!

Being in the fitness industry, one of the most frustrating aspects with all my clients was dealing with "Food." When I discovered that Dr. Vartabedian was the "go-to" source for leading experts, I clearly could see why-- he knows more than any other expert out there about the foods you should eat-- and the foods you should avoid. My own personal experience is that through Nutripoints I am able to achieve and maintain a lean, fit, and strong body. Being "a skinny fat person" isn't my goal-- but looking lean and fit is. I can use this "point system" to achieve all the results I want. This easy-to-use power packed system is much more than I expected it to be. Regardless of whether or not I "blow it" for a day, I can always use Nutripoints to put me right back on track (as if I never cheated). Being in my mid-forties, I now look to Nutripoints as a way to achieve optimum wellness and to prevent aging. I could write much more about this system and Dr. Vartabedian, but to sum it up I'll say this: This is, by far, the most powerful program I have ever seen and personally experienced in healthy, lean, and all around nutritional living! I can now say I'm fit from the inside out! Any expert could recommend this source with complete confidence-- and they would be appreciated for doing so.

This is a great system, as others have noted. It has more sense and more science behind it than most. BUT this is a relatively bulky book -- and this is information you'd really like to have with you -- and without the bulk.

Bottom Line: Doc, we need a Kindle version -- whether for iPhone, iPad, or even a Kindle Reader -- that's the way to go for information that needs to be "at hand" but the bulk is a problem. I carry about 50 books with me on my iPad all the time. Many are reference and look-up books. They get used A LOT.

So Doc(tor Vartebedian) please bring your work into the 21st Century by allowing us to read it "when, where, and how" we want (and need) it.

Nutripoints: Healthy Eating Made Simple! Nutripoints is written by two professionals who really know what they are talking about. It is so terrific that even my finicky child has improved his eating habits. My child enjoyed the food grading system so he could easily see what foods are rated A foods. I also got the fantastic placemats and they really teach you about what foods to eat to get the best grades on your health. If you want to improve your eating habits or have children that you want to eat better, this book is a terrific investment in your family's health and well being!
