Readers will recognize Bauer as the nutrition expert for the Today Show. Here, she offers meal plans and recipes for using diet to deal with common symptoms. Bauer's conversational writing style simplifies the difference between good and bad fats, good and bad cholesterol, and proven and unproven supplements, providing a clear map through the maze of often confusing health and diet information in the media. Explanations, guidelines, and meals are grouped in sections on losing weight, looking great, and preventing or treating lifestyle-related illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, arthritis and Type 2 diabetes, as well as conditions such as migraine, PMS, insomnia, and celiac disease. A final section explains how to understand nutrition labels. The book's reader-friendly layout offers FAQ boxes, checklists, and charts. Bauer has written other books on food and nutrition.
