Synopsis

Bestselling author Mark Bittman and physician David Katz cut through all the noise on food, health, and diet to give you the real answers you need
 
What is the “best” diet? Do calories matter? And when it comes to protein, fat, and carbs, which ones are good and which are bad? Mark Bittman and health expert David Katz answer all these questions and more in a lively and easy-to-read Q&A format. Inspired by their viral hit article on Grub Street—one of New York magazine’s most popular and most-shared articles—Bittman and Katz share their clear, no-nonsense perspective on food and diet, answering questions covering everything from basic nutrients to superfoods to fad diets. Topics include dietary patterns (Just what should humans eat?); grains (Aren’t these just “carbs”? Do I need to avoid gluten?); meat and dairy (Does grass-fed matter?); alcohol (Is drinking wine actually good for me?); and more. Throughout, Bittman and Katz filter the science of diet and nutrition through a lens of common sense, delivering straightforward advice with a healthy dose of wit.

Narrated by Robert Fass: Two-time winner of the prestigious Audie Award as well as numerous AudioFile  Earphones Awards, veteran actor Robert Fass has narrated over 200 unabridged audiobooks by modern and classic fiction writers such as Ray Bradbury, John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, T.S. Eliot, Joyce Carol Oates, Carlos Fuentes, Jeffrey Deaver, and Lee Child, as well as bestselling and prize-winning nonfiction works in history, politics, health, journalism, philosophy, business, and memoir.

Goodreads review by Kyleen

This entire book could be summarized in one sentence! Extremely repetitive. Eat whole, unprocessed foods (fruits, vegetables), no meat or any animal products, maybe some (certain types of) fish but really just stick to beans, drink water, maybe plain tea and coffee and a glass of red wine with dinne......more

Goodreads review by Fatima

RTC. But this book was very comprehensive and very thorough, to the point of being insanely repetitive. One thing that surprised me is when they claimed that 90% of people with descendants from Asia are lactose intolerant. Um, huh? Almost everyone I know has Asian roots and we all gobble cheese like......more

This covers many different diets and whether they are good for you and any issues you may encounter when trying them. It doesn't quite go deep enough for me and I was left wanting a bit more. The end result is what you can find anywhere such as eat more fruit and veg & less processed. NOt a bad book......more
