Editorial Review:

Chinese Nutrition Therapy shows how a daily diet in tune with the seasons and the body’s requirements can maintain health and help heal medical problems; from the common cold and flu to cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, OB-GYN, skin, immune system, respiratory and eye disorders, just to name a few.

Key features: - Part I introduces the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese dietetics, outlines the causes of diseases, and introduces the energetics of foods - Part II and Part III describe Chinese dietetics in practice and introduce important dietary factors such as times of day, seasonal adaptations, pathogenic factors, as well as the different dietary requirements of children and seniors - Part IV gives practical tips for successful implementation of Chinese nutrition therapy, and provides food classifications for the most common food categories: vegetables, grains, spices and herbs, fruit, meat, fish/seafood, dairy products, eggs, oils and fats, nuts and seeds and other foods - Part V lists many clinical examples and treatment suggestions - Part VI, as a handy reference, lists the healing characteristics of foods from A - Z

Chinese Nutrition Therapy is a "must read" for physicians, TCM practitioners, nutrition therapists, and all others concerned with healing and staying healthy. Written by an M.D. and long-time practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it bridges Western allopathic medicine and Chinese syndrome diagnosis.

Editorial Review:

Are starchy foods - breads, pasta, potatoes, grains - your dietary downfall? Here is a simple, safe, dramatically effective strategy to help you eat the foods you love - and lose weight. Here's a program that's almost sinfully satisfying but modest in calories, a new medical strategy based on 30 years of clinical testing that helps people lose weight without giving up their favorite foods. Starch blockers are a natural, non-prescription partial protein derived from white kidney beans. Taken before meals, they bind with the enzyme that digests starch, so most starch passes through the body without releasing calories, similarly to fibre. There are no side effects, but a huge benefit: up to 1/3 of the calories you eat can be instantly, safely neutralized! "The Starch Blocker Diet" provides a three-step program for achieving safe, lasting weight loss using starch blockers: Step 1: Redistributing Calories: You'll actually eat more starchy foods--to maximize starch blockers' neutralizing power!; Step 2: Taking Emotional Control: Starch blockers help you regain power over food by stopping cravings; Step 3: Burning Body Fat with Exercise: Starch blockers supercharge exercise. When carbohydrates are neutralized, you burn body fat faster. This no-hunger, non-denial strategy lets you eat a richly satisfying diet while still losing weight. You'll find formulas for individualizing the program to fit your personal caloric and lifestyle requirements, sample menus, and more than 100 delicious, high-starch recipes, many by James Beard Award Winning Chef Philippe Boulot.

Very useful book. 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book for class and I would say it really helps a lot in a way that it gives more explanations and more details about things that are not discussed in class. Because usually teachers do require reading and details that are not covered in class would still be on the test. And, some teachers do not explain some things very well, so reading this book helps in understanding the theory.

Editorial Review:

NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES: FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO FOOD presents the basics of nutrition with unique coverage of the fundamental science underlying it, including its foundation in anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. It is organized and written in a clear narrative style, with a linear format that builds concepts, engages students, and promotes a more thorough understanding. It is comprehensive in its coverage, including the most current information, and also unique in its brevity, making it easier to cover the material in a semester or quarter's time. From its emphasis on the fundamental science to the impressive integrated visual and media, relevant and supportive pedagogical features, and extensive supplemental resources (i.e. Diet Analysis+ 8.0, PowerPoint®, and JoinIn™ on TurningPoint®), this text is a fresh presentation of nutrition concepts that instructors and students will praise.
