When considering my favorite diet and nutrition books, there are a few things I consider first:

  1. Before I thumb through the pages, I check the author's credentials.  A diet book should be written by a nutrition expert - a registered dietitian - just like if you were having a plumbing issue, you wouldn't call an electrician and you don't let your dog groomer highlight your hair. 
  2. I also want it to be an easy, but enjoyable read.  I'm not looking for a textbook, rather a fun, well-written book that gives consumers new ideas and tools they can use. 
  3. That brings me to the last important point - it must provide recommendations that make sense and are easy to achieve.  I want tips, solutions and meal-making ideas - something you can take straight to the grocery store and get results! 

So here is a brief list of my current favorite diet and nutrition books.  I've included some for everyone:  overall health, healthy planet/healthy body, men seeking flat bellies, restaurant enthusiasts, weight loss and sports nutrition!

Go to www.kategeagan.com for more information on the book and the author. I think she'll be on Dr. Oz on Monday, Jan 18th as well.

Thanks for reading!
