Not a diet a way of life! Do it and feel better.,
By girldiver "Enjoy!" (tangled up in blue.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Super Nutrition for Women (Revised Edition) (Paperback)
Ann Louise Gittleman a nutritionist and weight loss expert has put together a fantastic comprehensive guide that is educational and eye opening. This book is full of common sense health and nutrition advice every woman should know.The book begins by categorizing general eating habits based on the current nutritional trends of the last 45-50 years and then details to our horror, how insufficient those eating habits are in maintaining a healthy weight let alone a healthy body. Whether low fat, low carb, high carb, or chronic dieting the book demonstrates the damage women inflict on their health by indulging in diets that are trendy and harmful. The book promotes balance and natural foods for both weight loss and overall health while detailing the importance of quality choices in our food consumption. For me the most interesting and educational are the chapters that deal with fats and sugars in our diets. Gittleman's theorem is that the right kind of fats can be and are beneficial to women. For example, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are essential to proper bodily function and assist in the distribution of other vitamins and minerals throughout the body. I also found the book informative in regards to the hormonal and reproductive health of women and the correlation to proper and balanced nutrition. She not only explains why but how to get all that you need by making wise choices in available foods and how they effect menstrual cycles, menopause, and P.M.S.. I will admit at times the book will detail scientific studies by different doctors and universities that reaffirm Gittleman's nutritional stance that although necessary I thought a bit dry. Overall this book is full of information about what women should be eating, should be avoiding, and how to go about it. On top of all the education the book has recipes, suggested menus, and a shopping list to help you on your way to a more balanced healthy lifestyle. I thought the book exceptional. girldiver:)

My mom gave this to me as a present last year and I finally got around to reading it. This is a great discussion of woman's eating types, habits and supplements. I hightly recommend it to anyone wanting a balanced book on female health issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fantastic book,
By Elisa "HipMom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Super Nutrition for Women (Revised Edition) (Paperback)
This books really should be read by every woman. It's very user-friendly, it explains simply how many problems women typically suffer from are simply symptoms of conditions that can be easily solved (and she tells you how).
This is not a diet book per se, but she includes also an explanation of what might be hindering a woman's weight loss efforts. However she also targets things that go more to the general wellbeing, and you can choose to implement all of her suggestions or just a few - either way, you'll see a definite improvement in your health and wellbeing! This is one book you'll want to share with every woman you know. But don't lend out your copy for too long, you'll want to refer to it again and again because it contains so much info and it's so accessible. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:
4.0 out of 5 stars
decent reference,
By M. R. Murray - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Super Nutrition for Women (Revised Edition) (Paperback)
I liked the way this book didn't take a completely one-size-fits-all approach, but gave you ideas about changes or suppliments that may help with different common female complaints. The exceptions were in regard to sugar and sweeteners (the authors don't like most of them) and the requisite meal plan and recipes at the end. If I tried to eat that menu, I'd be sick as a dog from dairy and gluten issues. However, the rest of the book was good enough to earn a place on my (relatively small) reference book shelf.
