Nutrition is controversial, needless to say. One
moment we are against fat, the next we are consuming 50-75% of our calories
from fat, such as in the ketogenic diet. Nutritionist (not dietitians), medical
doctors, holistic healthcare professional and the average joe are writing
nutrition books on what we should eat. Some of these authors have done their
research. However, most are in it for the money and have no research to support
their claims, for example, The Blood Type Diet by Peter D'Adamo.
I have gathered the best books in the field of
nutrition recommended by Registered Dietitians (the real
experts)! I have 3 main categories: Nutrition books
for everyone, pregnant women and parents, and healthcare professionals/RD2Be’s!
I have also included my own recommendations.
