Overall great book
Great book with a lot of helpful info. But as the other reviewer noted there is no specific nutrition plan, although there are some general nutrition recommendations, which are easy to follow. I started to follow some of them and joined the gym (I used Big book of exercises to create workout plan) and as far as I can tell it works. Not feeling deprived I lost 8-10 pounds in a month although I did not have much of extra weigh (Before that I had been doing some exercises at home and had eaten what I thought right but apparently I had been overlooking several things.)The only drawback for me is that recipes section could contain more of less sophisticated recipes for the a guy like me who does not really have much of cooking experience.

Awesome
Seriously I can't get enough of this book. I bought it on a whim as a reference for my new foray into healthful eating. I kept looking up food nutritional facts and liked the idea of them all being in one easy-to-find place. This book is so much more than that.It starts off with a huge section of frequently asked questions. You can literally read through these, learning fact after fact after fact. It covers all ranges of topics from food choices, water consumption, healthful benefits in food, etc. This book also includes tons of information about food labels, starting a diet, etc. The bulk of this book is a list of the Healthiest Foods. Each one has a big colorful picture and their nutritional facts. Tons of food is listed, including fruits and vegetables, breads and grains, spices and herbs, and meats and cheeses. The back is full of recipes - a large amount of them look delicious and I can't wait to start trying them.My chief worry was that it would be predominately geared toward men. This wasn't a problem. Only a handful of times did I even notice something geared toward men, usually in the questions section in the beginning. It was never an issue.I am definitely more interested in the Men's Health/Women's Health books and will look into the others.

Big book of food and nutrition
This is one of the best books I have ever read on nutrition. We have all heard about all these diets and the all you have to do is just take this maricle pill and you will be fine. The truth is that it takes work and dicipline to change your eating habits. If you will read, study and put into practice what this books tells you it will help you to change your life style. I lost about 30 pounds in about 6 months and feel great. That's not too bad for a person who is small and weighed about 150# to begin with. I also recomend the Vita-Mix whole food processor. I am 68 and feel like I am 30 again.

Ugh...
what a very obscurely designed book...It has the most random organizations and info table and it skipped to recipes after awhile....It has pretty pictures but makes me think of...It's like the book was written and designed by a designer and not a nutritionist or dietician... I mean if you want a pretty book to start with I guess this is the one to go... It just cannot be your only source because you will look like you don't know what you are doing but only pretending to be...

Check this book out if you want to make a long term change
The problem with typical diets is that they focus on changing something about how you eat for a set period of time to knock off some weight. This book is not a diet book. Instead it talks about how to make life long changes you can live with and that fit the lifestyle of being a guy. The book also helps to debunk a lot of myths about food and nutrition that I had thought were correct. I would definitely recommend picking up this book. I am less than a quarter of the way through it and I already can tell it is going to help me a lot.
