I’ve really enjoyed working my way through this book. It’s informative and I really appreciate the carefully considered layout of the book. The information is presented in an engaging and easy to understand format, satisfying my interest in nutrition - clearly explaining the benefits of moving towards a more heavily plant focussed lifestyle for everyone. As an educator, I hope that resources like this will become common place in supporting nutrition education for the generations of the future. Love your work Rhiannon.

In a world of ‘noise’ about ‘healthy eating’, where there is so much confusion and contradictory advice, Rhiannon’s latest book is an absolute tonic. The book doesn’t try and convert you to being a vegan (being a vegan/vegetarian and being plant based are very different!) but explains so much about the benefits of plant based living, introducing more plants into your diet and explaining how to make sensible, sustainable choices. This can include eating small amounts of good quality meat and fish. A truly realistic way of approaching healthy eating for life, rather than the latest fad, this book should be in all libraries, all schools and all hospitals as a bit of a bible on how to eat properly. It’s also beautifully photographed, which makes it a joy to read. Rhiannon is a registered nutritionist, and that’s clear to see from the book. I absolutely loved reading it, and continue to follow Rhiannon’s sensible, realistic advice both through her books and social media pages. A must buy!

Everyone should read this book just to see what we should be eating more of, fantastic detail so you can’t go wrong. People go change your bad eating habits, it’s so simple to do

This an excellent book on food and nutrition. It is set out in short easy to understand articles that are well written and added by beautiful graphics. I have bought many books on this subject but most othem are long winded and full of jargon. This book is not written like a novel, it is easy to read and most importantly it is easy to put down and then pickup and carry on later. It covers a variety of food and health topics in detail , I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about food and nutrition.

A lot of information which I will apply to our eating habits. Unfortunately there are several misleading facts which have been pointed out by another reviewer. Nevertheless, a good book to dip into as each segment is quite short. Do not feel blinded by the science.

Absolutely love Rhiannon Lambert and her work. This book is the absolute bible to healthy eating. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through his and educating myself. There is so much noise over social media regarding food and nutrition, this book is great for clarification and myth busting! Structured so well that it is so easy to read and understand. I am SO pleased with it! 100% recommend!

The deliverer said he/she placed the package "in the letter box". No, not so, it was left outside on the step after dark. We left the porch door ajar so it could be put on the shelf. We were at home and did not hear any knock, etc. I just want to say that the book is just what I wanted. This delivery is the first time in all my time buying from Amazon that I have written a negative delivery response.

I enjoyed reading the book. Because of the illustrations and simple text, I learned and remembered most of the information. I have implemented many things in my lifestyle. Reading the science behind plant-based nutrition helped me understand what's behind it. I started eating more greens and less processed foods naturally.

I have been vegan now some 4 and a half years. I am also a retired surgeon. I have found this book to be very informative and easy to digest. While much of the information contained within is knowledge that I already knew, the clear and simplified, yet effective way in which is presented makes the concepts even more clear to me who has a medical background. There are many pearls in it as well that are new to me, an awesome bonus. I would recommend this book to anyone, even those who are not contemplating following a vegan. It's a splendid reference.

I like books that impart what i call, "news you can use." I love to learn the science behind things, but not to get bogged down in reems of science with very little thought to how I can best use the information. This book is truly news you CAN use. It is a very comprehensive primer on plant based nutrition, laid out in a very user-friendly manner. It is broken down into all the topics that one eating this way needs to know. It is like getting a course in plant based nutrition with an eye to how to put the science to use in designing your own eating plan in a way that ensures optimal nutrition. All relevant topics are discussed such as supplements--which ones are needed and which aren't. How to get the best possible macro and micro nutrients from food. When, if, and how to supplement. How to get all the protein you need. Probiotics in food. Prebiotics in food. Gut health. What precisely constitutes a whole foods plant based diet. Processed vegan foods to be wary of. Its got it all. How your risk for all the food related degenerative diseases goes down with a WELL PLANNED whole foods plant based diet. Sections on how to approach it if you are not ready to give up meat, or eggs, or dairy, etc. There is much here to learn now matter where you are on the continuum of plant based eating. And all the science you need IN A USER FRIENDLY FORMAT to make sure you are eating optimally. Well worth the purchase price.

I love it. its very informative, and i appreciate the format of answering questions one may have about a plant based diet.

Really a well written book as most DK Publishing books are.
