Publisher's Synopsis
"This fun, breezy guide positions the authors as both experts and the reader's best friends, encouraging, advising, and cheering on." -Publisher's Weekly
As a registered dietitian and a health industry expert, Ilyse Schapiro and Hallie Rich know people will cheat on their diets, dine out, consume alcohol, and have (hopefully plenty of) sex. They also know people have questions about it all. (Who doesn't?) While many people may feel comfortable asking their best friend, they really want expert advice. That's where this book will help.
Rather than turn to social media, Chat GPT, or Google for answers to daily health questions, Schapiro and Rich reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. Based on their thirty years of combined experience in the health field, they provide realistic approaches to each topic without getting too technical.
They are able to cover the multitude of questions that constantly top the list, including:
Is intermittent fasting a good way to cut calories?
Are smoothies good for snacks or meal replacements?
Is it time to get on the gluten-free bandwagon?
I have salads for lunch every day, and I'm still not losing weight. What am I doing wrong?
I'm tired of feeling tired. What can I do to lose the urge to snooze?
I eat well, so what's the point of a multivitamin?
They reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. With so much information and so many "rules" out there, this book gives readers the tools to sort through the BS and know what is truly important and actually relevant to their health.
