出版社周刊评论
Rechtschaffen, a Manhattan physician whose patients include Donna Karan (author of the book's forward) and Craig Claiborne, sounds an Old World note in his new fitness handbook. In 100 essayssome so brief that they barely fill a pageRechtschaffen refines his topics to basic medical homilies: ``Stop Smoking,'' ``Avoid Pickled and Smoked Foods,'' ``Affirm Life-Enhancing Values.'' Though he offers little revelatory material, there is old-fashioned good sense in everything he writes, e.g., in advising walking as ``the best all-around `exercise,'" he also reminds readers to ``make it fun!'' With an emphasis on weight reduction and maintaining reasonable fitness levels, Rechtschaffen offers effective encouragement for leading a healthier life. Included are about 25 simple, healthful recipes contributed by Anne Seranne, lists of fat counts (in grams) for servings of popular foods and a brief discussion of mineral and vitamin requirements.

Nutrition specialist Rechtschaffen offers 100 short essays (ranging in length from one paragraph to a maximum of four pages) that are characterized as "consultations" with the doctor. There is nothing new here: don't smoke; exercise, reduce fat content in food; control stress; etc. All this material has been covered by Robert Crayhon's Nutrition Made Simple (LJ 1/95), Neal Bernard's Food for Life (LJ 6/15/93), Dean Ornish's Eat More, Weigh Less (LJ 6/1/93), and Gene Spiller's The Superpyramid Eating Program (LJ 3/15/93). However, the consultation format, which allows readers to choose essays on particiular topics, such as "Eat a Good Breakfast," or "Eat Well To Help Prevent Skin Cancer," may appeal to those who need nutrition information in a simple format. A "Useful Tables" section includes lists of foods to avoid, foods to eat regularly, and the fat content of many foods, while a glossary explains terms used on food labels.
