The Whole
HEALTH DIET
by Mark Mincolla, PhD
I
It is both refreshing and
encouraging to read a
book about dieting that
focuses on the bigger
picture of health, rather
than simply weight loss.
I
n this case the bigger picture includes not
only the reasons we overeat, but also how
to construct a diet based on solid nutritional science, as well as one that caters
to one’s particular food sensitivities and
metabolism. We’ve all had the experience
of reaching for food to meet a need other than hunger, and when that food or beverage
or other substance doesn’t do the trick or satisfies us only temporarily we keep trying to fill the
gap, and our weight keeps climbing. By helping us
understand the interplay among the emotional,
physical, chemical, and nutritional components of
health, Mincolla provides practical information we
can use to achieve vibrant health.
