Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I take it that the book you are referring to is called Health Food Junkies? If you know the author, I would like to add this to our Book List here as well as your 'review' of it too. I think I always sensed the false direction of 'extreme' oriented eating as much as I distrusted what diets offered too. I very much like what your nutritionist told you about such 'limiting' food plans. Listening to one's own body, instead of 'experts', sounds much better to me.
