The Men's Health Big Book of Food & Nutrition: Your Completely Delicious Guide to Eating Well, Looking Great, and Staying Lean for Life!

No nonsense Gives you calorific value of all the known foods available today .... discusses nutrition and helps build a routine for starters ... Im sure this is not like expert level stuff but it did help me understand food much better and best of all introduced foods I never ate and might wouldn't have eaten ever ... by sheer understanding of ingredients of a food item .... how you change your entire thinking around food ... amazing ...

I like the clear picture and recipe

I've ultimately given the book 4 stars because, as Remmy says, a considerable portion of the book is taken up with pictures and descriptions of the benefits of various foods; and that section may seem a little thin. At the same time, it's a useful reference section about many different foods and there are also many other good tips - so this is a minor criticism. However, this is the authoritative book on nutrition that I have been searching out for some time now. Weber shows what your eating routine ought to be in order to stay lean and all of this is backed by distinguished sources and distinguised nutritionists, etc. There are no Gillian McKeiths here. It seems that much information out there concerning food and diet is extremely contradictory, and the average person struggles to judge what the true state of play is. To underscore this point, I Weber says that, once and for all, eggs are not bad for you. Then, a couple of days later, I read some nutritionist saying that eating so many eggs will increase your risk of Type 2 Diabetes. Nevertheless, I place a lot more store in this book's information and advice than many other sources of nutritional advice.

This book is a real must for any person wishing to eat well. It is really informative about what you eat and what foods are best depending on your goals. I am really glad i purchased this book as it was exactly what i was looking for.

The most valuable book health wise i will ever own. Got a copy in jan and dropped from 90kg to 80 in 5 months. Easily.

To be honest iv only read a bit of it, pretty large book

In depth information on additives and different food products. Just the book I need to eat healthy. Not sure I will use any of the recipes though. I got all the information that I was hoping for from this book.

As you would expect great advise and facts included in this book, would recommend to anyone that is interest in nutrition. Has a Q&A section which is really helpful and recipes at the back.

Seriously I can't get enough of this book. I bought it on a whim as a reference for my new foray into healthful eating. I kept looking up food nutritional facts and liked the idea of them all being in one easy-to-find place. This book is so much more than that. It starts off with a huge section of frequently asked questions. You can literally read through these, learning fact after fact after fact. It covers all ranges of topics from food choices, water consumption, healthful benefits in food, etc. This book also includes tons of information about food labels, starting a diet, etc. The bulk of this book is a list of the Healthiest Foods. Each one has a big colorful picture and their nutritional facts. Tons of food is listed, including fruits and vegetables, breads and grains, spices and herbs, and meats and cheeses. The back is full of recipes - a large amount of them look delicious and I can't wait to start trying them. My chief worry was that it would be predominately geared toward men. This wasn't a problem. Only a handful of times did I even notice something geared toward men, usually in the questions section in the beginning. It was never an issue. I am definitely more interested in the Men's Health/Women's Health books and will look into the others.

Good book

Das Buch war ein Geschenk für einen Freund (überzeugter Fleischfresser) und er hat berichtet dass die vegetarischen Gerichte sehr lecker sind und er grundsätzlich überrascht ist dass man sich so lecker undgesund ernähren kann.

Great book and love the extras .... Should be called "The big Book for dummies of food"

Great content. Great book! Would recommend. Great pictures.
