White or wheat bread? Yogurt or ice cream?Parents often wonder how best to feed their families, but the wondering is over with The Family Nutrition Book: Everything You Need to Know About Feeding Your Children--From Birth Through Adolescence. The beloved William Sears and his wife, Martha (a nurse), teach you how to become your own family nutritionist. Parents of eight children and well-known authors of more than a dozen childcare books, the Searses offer the solid advice on breastfeeding, beginning solids, and feeding picky eaters you'd expect. But more than that, they provide a crash course in overall nutrition. You'll learn how the body works, how to read food labels, what ingredients to look for (and which to avoid), how to trim fat from your diet, what makes up a balanced diet (not just the 'food pyramid'), which foods are thought to prevent cancer, and more. The Searses also offer helpful food lists: good fats, best proteins, top 10 complex carbohydrates, and top 12 family foods, to name a few. You'll even get favorite Sears family recipes to help you get started on the road to healthy eating. It's all here, and it's all mixed with a healthy dose of passion for eating well. So you can show your children--by example--how to stay healthy and feel great. --Kelley Smith Organic or regular baby food? White or wheat bread? Yogurt or ice cream?

Onions and garlic tame the damaging effects of fried oil; meat and vegetables eaten in combination amount to more than the sum of their parts; and cinnamon can masquerade as sugar. A wealth of nutrition information is smoothly presented, complete with accessible scientific explanations, behavior modification tips and framed asidesAall organized into minichapters with such titles as 'Powerful Proteins' and 'The Joy of Soy.' The book progresses from an overview of nutrients (water and fiber among them) to an extensive evaluation of food groups, including discussions of vegetarianism, organic foods and decoding packaging labels. Additional sections address weight control and the specific roles various foods play in disease prevention, stamina building, etc. Reference tables and an updated food pyramid will prove indispensable to the reader.

This is a great book for parents needing ideas on getting their family to eat healthier. It is a good start for families who eat too much junk- and fast-food. It emphasizes whole foods in their natural state, which I wholeheartedly agree with. I love the Sears family for promoting Attachment Parenting and helping parents make informed decisions regarding their children's health. However, ... Read More Rating - Well explained and easy to read I can't praise this book enough. It explains, in detail, why certain things are worse for you than others (i.e. hydrolized fats, refined carbs, etc). The chapter are short and structured well so you can finish a chapter quickly and if you leave the book and come back there are no problems understanding what you read. Rating - Straight forward and realistic This book is great. I appreciate the thorough information it gives you to really have a good understanding of how different foods cause your body to respond. It also gives straight forward advice on substitutions and recipes that are realistic for a family to use. Rating - FANTASTIC!!! Super informative and he writes so you can truly understand what he is saying. I find it encouraging too. :) see more reviews See all books by author William Sears
