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

I love this book. As a nursey chef I'm always eager to improve my knowledge on nutrition. I return to this book often. Its nicely laid out and written. Easy to read with no extreme science jargon. The diagrams are very good in helping me understand processes as I am a visual learner.

This book is incredible. Rhiannon Lambert, a Registered Nutritionist knows her onions....and her celeriac, cauliflower, chia and just about every food you could dream up. And she has the gift of explaining what good nutrition is in plain English, why it matters, how it matters, what we can all do about it on a variety of budgets, and how it impacts our health in the present and the future. She blows away ingrained myths and it's a joy to read. Clearly written with love and passion, it has the most beautiful photos and clear diagrams. She makes a complex subject both accessible and engaging. Among the thousands of nutrition books, blogs, pseudo social media sites all clamouring for our attention, I suggest you cut the wheat from the chaff and just buy this one. It has everything you need. Her wealth of knowledge is extraordinary, and there is not a molecule of superiority, just a gentle mission to make us all happier and healthier in a easy, adaptable and non-faddish way. This book is my go-to de-stressor when I wind down at the end of a hectic workday.

I've been waiting for this book to be released for months. As an avid listener of Rhi's podcast 'Food For Thought' I just knew that with her expertise and enthusiasm for health and nutrition that this book was going to be a very informative read. And it has not disappointed! With well written straight-to-the-point paragraphs and colourful diagrams, this book is easy to understand and covers many areas such as understanding the role of macronutrients and micronutrients, the process of digestion, how to maintain gut health and so much more on understanding each and every part of your diet and how it impacts your overall wellbeing. This book is not just for budding nutritionists and dietitians, it is a book for everyone and contains invaluable information that will help to put you on the right track to living your best and healthiest life!

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.

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.

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 no longer 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 is unsustainable 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!

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.

This is a very good book. Very visual, easy to follow and I learnt a lot.

These books are surprisingly useful, informative and well-written. Great design too — not trashy ‘info graphics’ but designed by professionals. Almost too good to be true. Love ‘em!!!

Good one

Love the book. Everything in short and clear.

Must read 💪🏻
