The title "Eating Well" captures it all - this book is equal parts instruction and recipes designed to equip and empower the participant toward delicious food choices that support a healthy eating lifestyle.  The first half of the book provides a solid foundation for understanding what healthy eating is and its importance for each of us. Dr. Harvey-Berino proposes and explains seven steps toward healthy eating and turning good changes into a permanent lifestyle of "eating well." The second part of the book presents delicious recipes - some new, some remodeled favorites. Each recipe is annotated with a nutritional analysis.  Included throughout the book is lavish, full-color photography - after all, we eat first with our eyes!  Informal "recipes" address healthy snacks, healthy fast foods, and eating well on-the-run.  The recipes are derived from the kitchens of EatingWell Magazine, "Where Good Taste Meets Good Health".EatingWell Magazine, "Where Good Taste Meets Good Health".  The book concludes with a generous appendix of resources, both forms for documenting your changes and key food information for easy referencing. Among the myriad of eating plans in the marketplace, this one seems to be realistic, sensible, and most importantly, doable!
