There is some good nutritional and lifestyle advice here for the beginner but the information is based on lds religious belief. For me the book was not useful at all since I already am well read in this genre. The book was recommended by another source and I find myself wondering what that person was thinking and why I didn’t realize what it was before buying a copy. Perhaps for someone just starting to think about how food and nutrition impacts there well being it would be a possible religious based starting point.

This is a good book if you are wondering what you should be eating in order to be correctly following the word of wisdom! Their are very few books out there that give this type of information! I highly recommend this book!

Overall, Ms. Hughes book has good, if not already available information. However, there is some misinformation given. An example is her statement that, on page 122, “Sugar does not make you fat. ” It seems to be fairly well documented in this day, and age, that sugar- a simple carbohydrate as she calls it- is a significant contributor to the obesity problem in the US. Such a statement is akin to saying that tobacco products have no link to various cancers. What she has to say is very similar to the SugarBusters! diet approach (except for her good advice on eating meat “sparingly”). Whole grains, fruits and vegetables, are the core of the diet (As found in Section 88 of the Doctrine and Covenants). This book is worth reading, but be alerted that there might be some flaws in it.
