This is a basic dietary guide for the home user, covering most life-stages and lifestyles in a simple and easy to understand way.

Whereas many diet books aim to channel the reader into a specific dietary regime, this book simply makes the readers aware of their options and the implications of eating certain types of food without undermining their confidence.  The book makes clear that no foods are forbidden, but when eating certain foods, a degree of caution is required, especially where illness is concerned, or where weight loss is a required goal.
