Praise for Younger Next Week

“…Zied presents a well-rounded, whole foods diet intended to address what she calls the “7 Pillars of Vitality”…Zied has a flare for organization and presentation, walking readers through carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, antioxidants, and other topics, and clearly explaining the role of each in keeping the body healthy. Unsurprisingly, Zied establishes a clear link between proper diet, sleep, exercise, and hydration, and looking and feeling invigorated.” -Publishers Weekly

“…Younger Next Week has a secret weapon: author Elisa Zied…It’s impressive that she can make truisms that we all know, yet seldom act upon, sound both accessible and fun…The ideas laid out in Younger Next Week take just seven days to implement, but they’re the kind of changes you will likely want to stick with for the long haul.” -BookPage

“Combines ‘know-how’ savvy with ‘can-do’ spirit…. I love her clear and practical guidance and holistic view of health. I highly recommend.” -David Katz, MD, Director, Yale Prevention Research Center and author of Disease Proof

Praise for Feed Your Family Right!

“Elisa Zied isn’t willing to accept that we’re doomed to be fat because we move less and face more temptation to eat high-calorie food. As a mother of two, she knows that lifetime eating habits often begin at home and affect the whole family. Here, she helps readers make individualized nutrition plans, make fitness fun (even if you’re dealing with such troublesome types as “the picky eater,” “the food pusher” or “the food cop”) and keep dietary goals at home or dining out….” -The Washington Post

“Here’s…a highly recommendable new book, Feed Your Family Right, by registered dietitian Elisa Zied…Zied’s advice about food choices and portion control will be familiar to anyone who follows nutrition trends, but her whole-family approach is fresh and sensible. With about 40 recipes and lots of practical advice, this would be an excellent resource for any parent trying to understand his or her own eating issues and get the kids off to a better start.” -Kathy Martin, The Miami Herald

“…highly recommended for public libraries and consumer health collections.” -Library Journal

“Elisa provides a sound resource that will help you feel secure that you are feeding your family according to the best scientific evidence available.” -Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., author of the best-selling The Volumetrics Eating Plan and professor of Nutritional Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University

Praise for So What Can I Eat?!

“For befuddled readers wanting to “clarify the often conflicting information you hear every day about food and nutrition,” this book will serve as a usable resource in the pursuit of better health…discussions of RDIs (Reference Daily Intakes, a set of references regarding the recommended dietary allowances for essential vitamins and minerals) and common terms on food labels (e.g., what makes a food “low calorie”) may offer new insights even to super-healthy sorts. Those readers will also benefit from the detailed shopping list, menu plans, suggestions for dining out and host of recipes designed to aid in better health through education and practice.” -Publisher’s Weekly
