Dr. Kleiner is a leading nutrition authority on eating for strength who has put together a diet that has already been successfully tested in a Seattle weight-loss group and documented in a series by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. This book proves that you can choose healthy foods that both make you feel great and, when eaten according to the plan, help you lose weight.
Most diets cause chemical changes in the brain that make the dieter feel depressed. The typical plan is often too low in calories. In THE GOOD MOOD DIET the participants eat feel-good foods with both ideal timing and ideal combinations— a balance of protein and fats to go with carbohydrates. Eating from a list of “feelgood foods,” including fish, flax seed and eggs, and eliminating “feel-bad foods” including refined sugar, helps dieters feel better and lose weight. However, sweets and alcohol are not taboo—eating a bit of chocolate and drinking a glass of red wine a day is okay once you’re two weeks into the diet..

What you eat affects how you feel; you can even eat in such a way that will maximize your energy levels and improve your mood while helping you lose weight. This is the basic premise of the Good Mood Diet, as presented by nutritionist Kleiner ("Power Eating") and "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" columnist Condor. The authors break food down into "feel great foods" and "feel bad foods," explaining each food type's effect on your body and energy levels. The key is the right combination of "feel good foods" at each meal. Those looking for a diet that doesn't make them give up coffee or diet soda will appreciate the tips offered on how to enjoy coffee, alcohol, chocolate, and fast food in moderation while still following the plan. The various real-life experiences and success stories shared will encourage readers to give the plan a try, and the nearly 50 pages of recipes, which cover breakfast to dessert, along with the 14 days' worth of menus, will help them get started. Suitable for all public libraries.Mindy Rhiger, Sagebrush Books, MinneapolisCopyright 2006 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
