Jenny's Book Bag

Another great book from Joel Fuhrman. He does repeat some information from his previous books, but this is still worth reading or listening to the audiobook. The audiobook includes a nice 148-page PDF file. The PDF has a lot of recipes, but it does include some success stories and nutritional information.

This is my favorite quote from the book:

“If we all understood that the secret to healthy eating and a long life was a steady diet of healthy greens and colorful vegetables, beans, walnuts, seeds, and fresh fruit, would the diet industry even exist? Our collective dietary ignorance is the only thing keeping that industry alive. If people understood the basic principles of nutritional excellence, they would understand that they need to eat healthfully and by doing so would achieve their ideal weight and never feel compelled to diet again. They would never jump from one popular diet book to another looking for a quick fix. They wouldn’t have to. When you lose weight and gain it back, you only end up fatter than before and this regained weight is harder to lose.”

I couldn't have said it better.
