The book highlights how dietary recommendations have evolved, often shaped by factors beyond rigorous science. Readers will gain insights into basic biology, such as digestive processes, to better appreciate how food impacts the body.
The book argues that a balanced diet is personalized, not a generic prescription. It begins by introducing core concepts like energy balance and nutrient density, dedicating sections to each macro- and micronutrient, their functions, and sources.
It then progresses to practical strategies for portion control, nutrition label interpretation, and meal planning, using examples and case studies.
The book culminates in actionable guidelines for creating personalized diet plans, addressing specific needs, and navigating dietary challenges.
