Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It's a cookbook, it's a nutrition mentor, it's a whole-foods guide, it's The Healthiest Diet in the World by Nikki and David Goldbeck, authors of The Supermarket Handbook and The Goldbecks' Guide to Good Food. The title promises a lot, and to a large extent delivers, going beyond ordinary cookbooks and providing an overall diet plan based on nutrition research and the authors' personal experiences.

The Goldbecks--practicing nutritionist and food educator Nikki and her husband, David--provide a flexible eating plan that can be modified based on food preferences, lifestyle, and biochemical needs. The plan is based on eight principles--the Goldbecks' Golden Guidelines--that cover basics like carbohydrates, fats, protein, and super foods. The authors emphasize total diet (not supplements) and eating a variety of unprocessed, intact, organic foods. Three hundred healthy recipes are provided along with dozens of whole-foods cooking techniques and tips. Although the Goldbecks try to keep advice simple and easy to follow, readers may have trouble weeding through all the information presented. While not quite the revolutionary approach to optimal nutrition that the publisher promises, The Healthiest Diet in the World will help readers slim down and lower their risk of major illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis. --Ellen Albertson

From Booklist
The hyperbole of the title notwithstanding, this hefty guide to healthy eating and cooking does serve up a well-rounded three-course feast of information. The authors are published health and nutrition writers, and they present a set of eight basic dietary guidelines--not rigid rules--that reflect nutrition research, food availability, and current lifestyles. These guidelines are outlined in part 1 and elaborated on at length in part 3, backed up by more that 40 pages of references and sprinkled with charts and boxes of additional information. Sandwiched between these sections are more than 200 pages of recipes that emphasize whole foods, variety, and balance. All recipes are meatless, using little added fat, and stress the use of vegetables, fruits, soy products, and beans as protein sources, and copious dollops of yogurt and yogurt cheese as the best dairy alternatives. There are no surprises here, just a comprehensive, well-packaged look at the party line of healthy eating for a public overwhelmed and confused by the latest nutrition news. Penny Spokes
