Description

The Overworked Person's Guide to Better Nutrition offers bite-sized nutrition tips for busy people with prediabetes, heart health concerns, or those who simply want advice for their everyday food and nutrition problems. Responding to the number-one excuse she hears from clients who have trouble staying healthy -- "I don't have time!" -- educator and dietitian Jill Weisenberger built this busy-person's guide to nutrition and health to show that everyone feels busy, but healthy habits can fit with any schedule. To keep things quick and accessible, the book is built around 50 fun and informative tips, covering everything from resistant starches to the glycemic index. Meant to be picked up and read piecemeal, every page is packed with interesting tips designed to improve nutrition and relieve stress and guilt. Over 100 million people in the United States have prediabetes or diabetes, and nearly half of all Americans have at least one risk factor for heart disease. In chronic conditions like these, improved nutrition and weight loss can sometimes prevent, delay, or improve long-term complications.This book is filled with diet strategies for weight loss and overall better health that can help any one, on any schedule, eat and feel better.
