It also provides various case studies to relate to readers across all age groups.
Review: Think, Eat, Live Smart is a fabulous little book full of very useful information regarding diets and how to make little changes in your lifestyle for an overall better life.
Anybody who has struggled with GERD or other digestive disorders knows how difficult life can be with such a condition. Dietary disorders affect your mental well-being and living with such conditions is a very difficult affair.
This little book starts off with case studies of different patients and shows how they made small alterations in their diet and daily routine to combat obesity and improve their quality of life.
The book is well structured and does not come cross as preachy but instead shows us how to go about changing our lifestyle through various case studies.
It tackles FAD diets such as single meal plan and other thousands of magical formulae that cause more harm in the long run. It also deals with other aspects such as addictions and how to make changes in the Indian context.
Many of the diet plans available on the internet are simply copy-pasted from the west and consist of ingredients that are either not available in the Indian market or are very expensive but this book is indigenous and is therefore extremely useful.
It ends with a cheat sheet and some recipes that you can try. Think, Eat and Live Smart is a handy little encyclopedia that will be of use to anybody who is facing trouble losing weight.
