Years ago I ate on the food exchange system (which is what the pyramid is) and maintained my weight and felt very healthy. It is very easy to do once you know how. I had slipped away from that kind of eating and gained a lot of weight so I bought this book to refresh my memory of it and update. I am very glad I did as this book is very helpful and has ideas on how to implement it. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but they sound very good. If you're interested in eating on a food exchange system which I think is a very healthy lifelong way to eat, to help you with more delicious recipes the New Better Homes & Gardens cookbook notes the exchanges (based on the pyramid) in the nutrition section of each recipe. My Mom always cooked from these cookbooks. Another good book to help with portion size is The Portion Plan by Linda Gassenheimer which has wonderful hand visuals for portion sizes. Good luck!
Great way to change your lifestyle and become healthy December 5, 2006

She makes this book easy to read & easy to follow. She breaks down the complex pyramid and makes it simple to undertand just how much of what you should be eating. An easy way yo get a good balance into your lifestyle. No quick fads, no "no this or that". Real life, real food with all the trimmings. Just the right amounts.
The only way to lose weight and keep it off. Great book! Can't wait for her new one to come out in March!

The common sense approach to nutrition and healthy eating habits in this book are wonderful. The author is able to give the reader alot of information on dietary guidlines as well as nutrition information- but doesnt make it overwhelming. I love the recipes and think the chicken meatballs are fabulous !!!
A must have for todays Living June 2, 2006

I felt that the author was writing in a very personal manner. She made it easy reading and definitly was not a preacher but a teacher. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the basic importance of eating healthy.
A must have for anyone who wants to eat right! June 2, 2006

This book was given to me as a gift, and what a wonderful one it was. Zied's book was easy and fun to read. This is definitly not another fad diet book! While reading I felt like one of my friends was explaining the new guidlines and cheering me on to change my eating habits. She makes it so simple to make changes in your everyday routine and they are easy to remember. The recipes are easy, quick, and great tasting. There is no need to ever "diet" after reading this book.
