Happy customer

I was very happy with the timeliness of the delivery; the book was in nearly perfect shape. I almost paid $120+ for this book at the book store, so I was very happy with the condition of the book. Thumbs up for the seller.

SOUND ADVICE

I thoroughly enjoyed the read. The book was provacative, informative, interesting and captivating. However, not all the advice was new, some apepars to have been recycled.

But overall I was satisfied. I feel healthier already.

For those interested in improving their overall health I also recommend You: On A Det. You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

Excellent Resource, even beyond class

First of all, I am fascinated by nutrition. It's a pretty cool thing to know how food contributes to our everyday existence. With that in mind, this book is a fantastic nutrition resource and reference. I've read a lot of extracurricular nutrition guides over the years and was under the impression I had a pretty good handle on the concepts. Nope. I felt like an amateur once I got into this book. There is so much more to learn and this book lays it out into a very "digestible" format.
