Hungry For Change (Enhanced Edition): Ditch The Diets, Conquer The Cravings, And Eat Your Way To Lifelong Health (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I watched the documentary before I read the book, it repeated some of the same information of course, but includes substantial section of recipes too. I think it's a great starting point for someone wanting to change their eating habits, but who is having issues doing so, or needs some extra motivation to start.We all know that there are zillions of additives and chemicals in processed food. I personally didn't realise MSG was everywhere, as I was under the naive assumption that MSG use had greatly subsided in recent years - turns out that's only at Chinese restaurants who claim to be MSG free.'Hungry for Change' is a good lead in to further reading on healthy foods and lifestyle. There's a great further reading section that lists quite a few more books that may be helpful for further research; which is something I’ll definitely be taking them up on.I would definitely recommend both the documentary and the book if this is a topic one is interested in. The only reason that I’ve given it 4 out of 5 is because I thought they could have included some additional information. It is very good at highlighting the main issues that the documentary covered; but it would have been a good opportunity to give us something extra. This book gives a brief overview of health topics. It never goes in depth on any particular topic, just dabbles in information here and there. I was surprised that half the book is actually recipes, but they look simple and easy. Same goes for the meal plans. I liked the addition of the premade shopping list. It's a great companion to the movie and a good book to jump start your journey to healthier eating. For those further along in their information needs, skip this one. You've already read it a thousand times over and probably in greater detail.

Great material, poor presentation. Keeps selling you instead of instructing you the whole time.
