Balance Your Body, Balance Your Life

This examination of the physical, psychological, and cultural reasons for poor nutrition includes a questionnaire that enables readers to discover their attitudes about food, body image, and overall well-being. A 28-day cognitive restructuring plan is designed to teach dieters how to nullify habitual food cravings. The guide's "food energy ladder" of dietary recommendations advocates a largely vegetarian diet that is plentiful with fruits, vegetables, pasta, nuts, olive oil, and whole grain breads.
