I have to admit it, nutrition books aren’t always at the top of my reading list.  As a nutrition professional, they probably should be so I know what’s new, what’s good, what would be useful for consumers. . .but also to warn consumers about some of the crap that’s out there. . . But in the limited time I have to read, I tend to read for enjoyment and relaxation.  In fact, I just finished The Help.  What a great read.

But I digress. . .

A nutrition book – well really a combined nutrition-recipe book – that just crossed my desk which I love is The Full Plate Diet.  Here’s why:

• The entire book is about what you CAN eat.  All POSITIVE messages.
• The authors understand real consumers.  Many of the options and ideas presented use convenience items and bump up their nutrition with easy additions.
• The photography is beautiful.  It just reaches off the page, and makes you want to try the recipes.
• It’s presented in soundbites of information.  I can pick up one tip in five minutes, without having to read pages and pages of text.  This fits into consumers’ lifestyles.

Overall, a great tool for building healthier eating habits.  Practical, doable solutions.  I love it.
