Publisher Description
"This fun, breezy guide positions the authors as both experts and the reader’s best friends, encouraging, advising, and cheering on." —Publisher's Weekly
As a registered dietitian and a health industry expert, Ilyse Schapiro and Hallie Rich are “Dear Abby” meets Sex and the City meets Dr. Oz. They’re realistic in their approach with¬out getting too technical. They know people will cheat on their diets, dine out, consume alcohol, and have (hopefully plenty of) sex. They also know people have questions about it all. (Who doesn’t?) While many people may feel comfortable asking their best friend, they really want expert advice. That’s where Should I Scoop Out My Bagel? will help.
Based on their twenty-five years of combined experience in the health field, Schapiro and Rich are able to cover the multitude of questions that constantly top the list, including:
Is eating a wrap healthier than eating a bagel sandwich?
Is it time to get on the gluten-free bandwagon?
I have salads for lunch every day, and I’m still not losing weight. What am I doing wrong?
I’m tired of feeling tired. What can I do to lose the urge to snooze?
I eat well, so what’s the point of a multivitamin?
They reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. With so much information and so many “rules” out there, this book gives readers the tools to sort through the BS and know what is truly important and actually relevant to their health.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Schapiro and Rich write in a style that will make readers feel like they're at a girlfriends' night out, drinking wine (empty calories!) and getting "no-holds-barred" answers for "every modern woman wondering why her weight is high, her libido is low, and her mind is scattered." The book covers 99 common questions about health and diet. Organization can be a little light sometimes related topics are grouped together, and sometime not. Still, the questions are timely, many relating to popular diet fads and strategies: should one "scoop out" a bagel, eat wraps instead of sandwiches, or go completely gluten-free? It's all here: sugar; soda; jet lag; dessert; eating out; dark meat vs. light. The advice given is well documented, and though some secondary sources are included such as Fox News, WebMD, and the Huffington Post their suggestions are credible. This fun, breezy guide positions the authors as both experts and the reader's best friends, encouraging, advising, and cheering on.
