"This is a book about feeling good."

On the back cover of this book it says, 'This is a book about feeling good.' I couldn't agree more. As my first child approached the time to begin solid foods, I began researching nutrition and healthy foods. There is so much conflicting and confusing information out there. It got to the point where one night while grocery shopping I was almost in tears after spending almost two hours reading labels and still feeling lost about what to feed my family.

This book is extremely informative without being 'over your head'. I see it as a sort of 'Nutrition 101', in the sense that it is general enough to cover everything but specific enough to be the only book on nutrition you'll need. I really feel empowered and in control now, capable of feeding my family well. I originally rented this book from the library, but it was so informative I am going to buy it.

Feed my family better - New Year's Resolution for 2005

This book was very informative and easy to read. I gained a lot of insight into how our bodies work with the nutrients we give them, as well as learning all about good fats vs. bad fats, not to be worried about my picky eater toddler, and the importance of setting up good eating habits for my children while they're young.

The only difficulty I had with this book was in the great side-bar tidbits of information, they sometimes got me distracted from the main thread I was reading, and it was hard to find my place again sometimes.

I was at a seminar with Dr. Sears as the speaker on family nutrition, which prompted the purchase of this book, and I don't regret either the purchase or my New Year's Resolution to feed my family healthier.

Excellent Book- A must have for every parent!

This book absolutely changed my life. Our eating habits as a family have been completely changed forever. Thank you Dr. Sears

My favorite nutrition book

Nutrition is like religion. People have fervent beliefs, and they tend to think that theirs is the only right way. This surprisingly prevalent attitude makes it difficult to find a good, non-dogmatic book on the subject. The Family Nutrition Book is my favorite of the books I have found so far. It doesn't seem to be written from any one religious standpoint, it gives an excellent breakdown of what nutrients the human body needs, with detailed yet easy-to-read explanations, and it even gives concise, easy-to-follow lists of the healthiest and least healthy foods for children and adults alike. I'm a nutrition agnostic and this approach works really well for me, so I recommend it.

Helpful, but not what I was looking for

This book has a ton of comprehensive information on nutrients but I bought it thinking it would help me know what to feed my 9-month old at each stage of his development. All I would call this is a nutrition textbook. It's good to have on hand, but if you're looking for guidelines on what foods are safe and offer proper nutrition for young babies and toddlers, keep looking.
