A very thorough and thoughtful discussion of nutrition that is ideally suited to the needs of the primary care provider.The CLINICAL HIGHLIGHTS feature at the end of each chapter is especially useful, but the final section, PRINCIPLES OF DIETARY COUNSELING, is worth getting the book for all by itself.Knowing about healthful nutrition is the easy part - getting our patients to adopt healthful eating habits is what's difficult.This approach to the problem of behavioral change is the best I have seen.Product Description
