Book Description

Publication Date: January 24, 2004

The Healthy Diner - How to Eat Right and Still Have Fun® is the ideal companion on your journey to a healthy lifestyle. Yes, there may be countless publications addressing similar issues of health, lifestyle and nutrition, but this one works like no other. The reason? It works first of all with your individual personality by explaining why you have certain tendencies in your behavior that can lead to less than healthy lifestyle choices. Bad eating habits or lack of motivation to exercise can rarely be changed over night. Even when people recognize the need to make certain improvements, they are often not ready. Instead of trying to implement radical resolutions, it can take many small steps to let you succeed. Most other health and lifestyle programs are not designed for that. They take a one-fits-all approach, hoping that you adapt to the program rather than the other way around. In my experience of many years as a dietitian and lifestyle counselor, this approach rarely ever works - certainly not in the long run. If a program is not right for you, you won't stick with it, no matter how beneficial it may be for your health, period. With the Healthy Diner, I offer a better way. If you follow the concepts of this book, you will find that nothing is forbidden but everything counts. Use the Healthy Diner as your daily companion at home, at work or when you travel. The results will be much better than anything you have tried so far. You will also learn to assess your current health status, determine your nutritional needs, keep track of your daily calorie and fat intake, overcome weight problems once and for all, develop an exercise routine that works for you, learn to shop for the most nutritious foods, make informed choices from the menu when you eat out and find out how to cook healthy meals without sacrificing taste.
