What Others Are Saying...
Knowledge is power…and I was feeling powerless before reading A Recipe for Life. I thought I was educated about diet but Susan's book clearly explained some of the misconceptions I had about nutrition.
Since becoming a breakfast eater, increasing my protein intake and avoiding corn syrup and fructose, I have increased my energy during the day and I've lost body fat. The best part is that the changes that I've made are pretty simple. There are many "aha "moments in this book. You'll probably recognize some of the falsehoods that you believe in and with Susan's explanations you'll be excited about making changes in your eating.

Living in a city where appearances seem to matter more than true health and fitness, it is not always easy to see the truth behind latest diet trend, fitness craze or binge-and-detox regimen.

A friend of mine told me about this amazing book he was reading called A Recipe for Life so I decided to pick up a copy. It was some of the best advice I have ever received. Susan's book is so well thought out and very easy to read.
She explains - in very simple, layman's terms - how people can get their lives on track to live healthy, happy lifestyles. I found myself nodding my head up and down in agreement while reading it - as what she points out makes total sense.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about his or her body. For what it is worth, I didn't get the book in order to lose weight - but to change my diet - and I lost 20 pounds in a month and a half! It has become my Bible for nutrition.

Susan Dopart has hit a nutritional home run with her book A Recipe for Life. As a clinical nutritionist I strongly believe that the quality of the food we eat is critical - all calories are NOT created equal. Susan has done an exceptional job of educating the reader on key nutrition concepts underlying many of the chronic diseases people are struggling with today.
Jeffrey Batchelor has brilliantly organized recipes that are delicious, simple to make and has provided a handful of herbs and spices that can be used in multiple ways. This is the book that I recommend to my clients as a resource that provides good science with good cooking creating great health!
