Library Journal

Most nutrition and diet books focus on calories, fat, fiber, or protein. Scientist and nutritionist Zimmerman here focuses on phytonutrients, plant-based chemicals that may help to prevent conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, and that are also the pigments responsible for the color of fruits and vegetables. The book is self-described as "a new way of eating" for those who need to improve their diets but don't know where to begin; meals are created around colorful and animal foods, preferably those that contain zoonutrients, which are added secondarily. Three weeks worth of menu plans with appealing recipes for soups, entr es, salads, and breakfast shakes are included as well. Zimmerman stresses the use of organic foods and the importance of mindfulness in food preparation and eating, encouraging readers to savor their food both with their eyes and with their taste buds. Several other books on this topic are available, such as Mindy Weisel's 7-Day Color Diet and James Joseph's The Color Code. Buy for demand.-Pauline Baughman, Multnomah Cty.
