The Science of Nutrition: Debunk the Diet Myths and Learn How to Eat Well for Health and Happiness

A great series of books. We have all of these from the 'series'. My daughter ( 13 ) is home educating and has discovered a passion for cooking/nutrition. She reads mostly in the evenings and picks these up at bed time, to study a little, and prefers books to online research. They're well written and factual. They've been super useful books and have proved themselves invaluable, as she offers up all kinds of facts she's absorbed, as we'll as insisting on reading sections back to me. Saying that, these are not Kids DK books. Most definitely suitable for adults, but also older children with a passion for absorbing information.

Very clear explanations and eye opening if you are interested in understanding the digestive system better as well as diets and myths, statistics. All in a very simple and visual way. Would recommend.

Allows you to understand “food” and make more informed decisions on choices … I have brought this book for many friends and family. Wonderful read and so easy to understand in a well structured layout.

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 superb, graphics. I gave 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 an nutrition.

Nice book which is well laid out and easy to read. You get bite sized pieces of information so can pick it up even just for five minutes to learn something. I am only half way through it but so far it hasn't been quite the in depth view I wanted, but I have enjoyed reading it and would recommend it, especially to people who have minimal knowledge on the topic.

No more diets, just a sound understanding of nutrition and how the body works. This book is incredible, I thought I knew alot about food having following endless diets but I learned more from the first few pages in this book than I ever expected.Very well written and easy to understand, laid out incredibly well so you can either read whole sections or dip in and out of what you are looking for. It goes into detail about the different kinds of foods and how the body needs them to work well. One unexpected area that has made quite an impact on my thinking is following the process of digestion. I now realise I had become quite detached from my body when it came to the food I eat, not thinking about how I would digest some of the food or the overall impact it would have on me. The portion control section is excellent and a straight forward way to reach balance in your diet. This book should be in every home, it might just change your life!

So well laid out, packed full of extremely easy,uncomplicated information! And WOW is it a fascinating read when you're nolonger dieting and instead reading from the perspective of health/what feels good/how to nourish your body.I love that Rhiannon covers the fact dieting isunsustainable within this book and covers what does work from a nutritionist perspective.As someone who has gone from dieter to eating intuitively, it was so important in the beginning (beginning' being a very long time for me!) to eat all the less nutritious foods in abundance to completely neutralise them.I'm at a stage where the nutrition part is sinking in, and I'm no longer looking to eat for weight loss, I'm looking to eat for what feels good in my body, what serves my body and what makes me feel my best. Weight loss happens to be a by product of no longer overeating as a result of the psychological work I've I done/continue to do.But this book is somewhat really helping with this mind/body connection I've got going on, in terms of 'what' I'm eating, by explaining everything so straightforward!I highly recommend!Thank you Rhiannon for gracing us all with this little piece of treasure that just so happens to look gorgeous on my bookshelf!

I pre-ordered this title as soon as Rhiannon put it on her Instagram account. I’ve followed her for years and have been so interested in the knowledge she shares. Buying this book made complete sense.Rhiannon has structured this book so that you can flick to the answers to your questions very easily and has clearly taken time to carefully consider the content for all readers.I ordered a book for my mum who also wants to be healthier.Rhiannon is a registered nutritionist and you know you’re in safe hands buying this book! This isn’t a weight loss book. It’s a guide to change your eating habits and lifestyle, to be healthier. Rhiannon is encouraging her readers to eat intuitively and consciously. For me, if fat loss is a result of that then that’s lovely, if not I know that I’m on the right path to giving my body the right nutrients it needs to thrive!I would recommend this book to others who are interested in how they should be fuelling their body and mind.
