Product Description
From Amazon
The barrage of conflicting diet and nutrition schemes available could send the most deeply health-conscious person staggering toward the couch with a bag of taco chips. How refreshing to find the straight-up advice in Leslie Beck's 10 Steps to Healthy Eating. Beck, a registered dietician, knows that over-hauling a lifestyle can be daunting, so she offers a process that lets readers make the changes they choose at their own pace. Her 10 Steps will appeal to the many people who want in-depth knowledge of nutrition--not only to help them lose pounds but also to keep up with mounting scientific evidence that certain foods may cause or help prevent disease. Eating well, she says, can improve your mood, boost immunity, and reduce your risk of diabetes. "If you've been stuck contemplating change for years, listing the negatives of continuing on your current path just may move you to action. If you don't make a change, how will you feel in 10 and 20 years?" Beck launches readers on the right path with a 14-day meal plan and more than 65 recipes. With such flavour-packed choices as Chicken Fajitas, Artichoke Pizza, Lemon Broccoli Salad, and Buttermilk Berry Pancakes, suddenly those taco chips seem a lot less appealing. --Carolyn Leitch
Book Description
We all want to eat smart, but it's hard to know where to begin. Leslie Beck's 10 Steps to Healthy Eating offers practical and easily-to-implement strategies that will transform your relationship with food.
Each chapter focuses on a specific strategy to achieving total nutritional health and how it can make a difference to your health and vitality. Leslie shows you how to get organized, how to choose the right foods and when to eat them. She also offers practical advice on exercise, nutritional supplements and starting a weight loss plan. Leslie includes real-life examples, drawn from her clinical practice, of people who have used her strategies to change their lives for the better. At the end of each chapter, she breaks down the strategy into ten smaller steps—handy tips, really—that you can easily incorporate into your daily life.
Leslie Beck's 10 Steps to Healthy Eating also includes a two-week menu plan. The recipes, which were developed by the Canadian Living Test Kitchen, are "quick and easy," require few ingredients, and feature nutritional analyses.

This review is from: Leslie Becks 10 Steps To Healthy Eating (Hardcover)
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but was I pleasantly surprised! Leslie gives accurate and up-to-date information on everything from vitamin supplements to how much exercise you need each week. I particularly liked that she gave many different options (say for those of us who hate celery)without making you feel guilty. The weekly eating plans and recipes were an added bonus (try the Wickwanninish Granola..mmmm).
