ONE DAY to feeling better than yesterday,
ONE WEEK to Erasing Depression,
ONE MONTH to losing weight for good.
THE
GOOD MOOD DIET, a new groundbreaking
book by noted nutritionist, Dr. Susan
Kleiner.
Seattle-based Dr. Kleiner created a stir
last year when she launched, in conjunction
with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “The
Seattle Good Mood Diet.” The
Post-Intelligencer followed the participants
in Kleiner’s diet program for a six week
period and made an astonishing discovery:
not only did every dieter lose weight by the
end of the program, they each experienced a
significant upswing in mood and energy
level.
In THE GOOD MOOD DIET, Dr. Kleiner
outlines her 14 day program of feel-good
meals and snacks to get you started on her
groundbreaking diet while also explaining
the science behind the dietary/nutritional
value of these mood influencing foods.
Readers will be pleased to discover that
along with the surprising variety of the
“feel-good” list of foods, there are a
number of shocking inclusions, such as
coffee, chocolate and red wine. The book
also offers mouth-watering recipes to try as
you continue the program after the initial
14 day period, with delicious dishes
including Black Bean Salsa Soup, Spinach
Strudel, Tuna Noodle Casserole, Mole Poblano
Turkey, Whole Wheat Pancakes with Fresh
Blueberry Sauce as well as a number of
recipes for smoothies, a key component of
this high energy diet plan.
Dr. Kleiner's book is truly one-of-a-kind.
First of all, Dr. Kleiner does not believe
in food deprivation. In fact, she argues
against low calorie/low carbohydrate diets
explaining that they reduce energy levels
and can cause chemical changes in the brain
that make the dieter feel depressed. Also,
as a nutritionist to champion athletes, Dr.
Kleiner understands the science behind foods
and food consumption - from the best time of
day to eat certain foods to what amounts
should be consumed – and she shares this
important information with the reader.
Other chapters in THE GOOD MOOD DIET delve
into exercise and rest, noting the
importance of both to the program while
offering attainable guidelines for achieving
weight goals. Dr. Kleiner also devotes a
chapter to "feel-bad foods" to provide you
with the reasoning – and the science -
behind the foods you should avoid.
Dr. Susan Kleiner is a bestselling author in
the nutrition category (she's written two
books, Power Eating and Power Food) and she
is the nutrition consultant to the Seattle
SuperSonics and the Seattle Sea Hawks, among
others. Bob Condor is the “Living Well”
columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
and the author or co-author of 6 books.
