Recommendations for a good nutrition book?
I have recently completely changed my lifestyle to conquer some nagging medical issues and have lost 30 pounds as a result of my healthy diet and exercise. Ive become very interested in nutrition and fitness during this transformation and am wondering if anyone could recommend a good book and/or websites where I can learn more about nutrition.
Thanks so much!
In Defence of Food - Michael Pollan. It has completely changed my attitude toward the food I buy and prepare. I only finished it last week. It's quite the eye-opener.
Thanks!...I just looked it up and it got very good reviews across the board.
I actually liked (and got a lot out of) "Nutrition for Dummies" .... which I bought used off Amazon.com. (I try to get most of my books used!) I've also bought some good books on things like breaking sugar addictions there.
Sometimes, just browsing through a library or bookstore is a neat way to look for new books, too.... especially if you have the time to sit down and read a bit.

I have a library of Nutrition and diet book. What to Eat is an excellent book. I think I paid $30 -- but worth every penny! This book covers everything. It is like a nutrition Bible! Just the education it gives you will help you to shed the pounds.
Thanks so much for all the great suggestions!
