In my quest to read as many diet and nutrition books as possible, I have stumbled across the difference between a “Diet Book” and a “Nutrition Book”.
A Nutrition Book is roughly 300 pages of information on food, food politics and some biochemistry.
A Diet Book is roughly 300 pages of information of food, food politics, some biochemistry and recipes.
The difference is that in a nutrition book, all 300 pages are full of information. In a diet book, only the first 50 or so pages are information, the rest is filler in the form of recipes, food combining charts and calorie counters.
Most of today’s diet books are one days-worth of reading, tops.
