    About this audiobook

    In Foodist, Darya Pino Rose, a neuroscientist, food writer, and the creator of SummerTomato.com, delivers a savvy, practical guide to ending the diet cycle and discovering lasting weight-loss through the love of food and the fundamentals of science. 

    A foodist simply has a different way of looking at food, and makes decisions with a clear understanding of how to optimize health and happiness. Foodist is a new approach to healthy eating that focuses on what you like to eat, rather than what you should or shouldn’t eat, while teaching you how to make good decisions, backed up by an understanding of what it means to live a healthy lifestyle.

    Foodist: Using Real Food and Real Science to Lose Weight Without Dieting is filled with tips on food shopping, food prep, cooking, and how to pick the right restaurants and make smart menu choices.

      I loved the lists of essentials in this book with the added "pro" lists if you aren't a beginner in the kitchen. She shared some serious knowledge about clean wonderful food without being judgmental about food lifestyles. Loved it.

      Mindblowing. As a lifelong dietary person it opened my eyes in many ways.
    • 4/5
      Highly recommended. I've read a lot of diet and nutrition books over the years while trying to figure out how to best manage my various food-related health issues, and some have worked better than others. The thing is, they all tend to be extreme versions of whatever it is that they are, and that ends up turning me off considerably. The author of Foodist avoided that kind of nutritional zealotry and zeroed in on things that just make sense to me. I know there are some people out there who see the organic and local food movement as its own kind of zealotry, and... well, I don't care. It's not an argument I care to participate in. The author, however, is very passionate about this argument, and yet still manages to temper her passionate point of view with a healthy level of respect for people who disagree. I have a lot of respect for someone who can do that.

      The nutrition advice itself was spot-on when compared to my own personal experiences. While I can't quote the same kind of scientific articles and experience that she can, I can say that her advice really struck a chord with me. When I do the things she encourages, they work. I feel better. It's really as simple as that. The thing is, so much of what she says, while it makes sense logically, is contradicted all over the place in popular nutrition. This is bound to be a hang-up for a lot of people.

      Ultimately, the author's writing was very accessible and easy to read. She explained the science very well, and succeeded in keeping the writing fresh and interesting. I don't remember getting bored or feeling bogged down by the details at all. The book itself seems geared towards people like me who need to lose weight, or who have health problems related to nutrition. While the advice in it is sound, those who are looking for nutrition information regarding gaining weight might get bored or frustrated reading through all the things related to weight loss. It is still light years ahead of other nutrition books in this aspect, even with the imbalance. The author's focus is on being healthy, and she *does* include information and tips on what can be done to help with necessary weight gain as well. A fair amount of the book is devoted to rethinking the way we approach weight management and diets, and was easily applicable to anyone of any weight, and especially to those with medical conditions not related to weight.

      I think everyone can find something of interest in here, but I think I will ultimately end up recommending it to my friends and loved ones with chronic conditions for whom conventional nutritional approaches have not worked.

      I've read and enjoyed books by Michael Pollan, Gary Taubes, and Monica Reinagle but this one seemed to me, the most practical. I learned a lot about an eating concept which I've known for a while but now seems more clear and attainable. My thanks to the author for teaching me but also for her charming way of telling the tale.
