All Your Food and Diet Questions Answered: A Food Science Nutrition Weight Loss Book

By: Mark Bittman, David Katz

Narrated by: Robert Fass

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.

How to Eat!

Very specific,but needed it and could understand
easily. 2020 information I needed going into my 60’s Thanks

So informational

I enjoyed the better understanding and in-depth explanation of different foods and diets. I am much more prepared to make the necessary diet changes in life for overall health.

Exhaustive and a bit preachy

Pretty much all of your questions about your diet’s affect on your health and all the popular “diets” will be answered here as well as instructions on a general approach to food. It gets a bit preachy at times and sometimes oversimplifies important concepts, but that doesn’t detract from the overall value. The narration does a good job of matching the conversational tone of the text. Would recommend.

Well Supported

I enjoyed it the audio book.. It definitely builds and supports plant based diets. I was surprised that taste preferences can change. I plan on re-listening to it periodically to reiterate the lesson.

The most recommendable book on food I've read.

Beware: this book's not for "beginners" on the matters of food. Even though it's destined to speak to food enthusiasts I believe it can also resonate very well w/ food and health professionals too. I recommend everyone read this, but after having read a few authors such as Marion Nestle and Michael Pollan, to name a few, and also I suggest that you embrace this book having an understanding of the trending available dietary plans.

The authors seem to be lobby-free, share a very fair point of view on food and health, and do justice to terms and definitions we're very familiar with, from a very just place.
