Purchase options and add-ons

People don’t need to be instructed to eat apples instead of potato chips. What we need is someone to inspire us to eat well and to show us just how powerful eating that apple can be. This person must be a trusted voice, one that can calm the informational clutter instead of adding yet another discordant voice to the pile.

Desiree Nielsen is a dietitian, one of the public’s most trusted sources of nutrition information. Un-Junk Your Diet, she teaches readers about anti-inflammatory dieting in a way that's engaging, funny, and approachable.

This book begins with a call to action to help shake up perceptions of what food means to our bodies and illuminate all the ways that marketers co-opt healthy eating messages to coerce us into choosing food that is unworthy. In addition, an in-depth look at the fundamentals of nutrition—with a splash of myth busting—strengthens readers’ abilities to resist the latest nutrition headline and continue making healthier choices.

Because there is no one right way for every individual eater, Nielsen offers a brief exercise in self-discovery before providing four distinct plans for becoming healthier. They range from the gentle and gradual to the two-week kick start that appeals to both detox seekers and vacation slimmers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Un-junk Your Diet is the perfect guide to help one navigate the toxic food environment we live in today. Desiree shows her true leadership by giving readers inspiration, knowledge, understanding, many laughs, and most importantly the (survival) skills to un-junk their own diets, leading them to happier and healthier places." —Veronica Kacinik, MSc, RD

"As soon as you open this book, you realize Desiree Nielsen is the best friend you wish you had. Written in her voice, Un-junk Your Diet is not out to sell you on some fad diet but to show you how to change your life in a way you never imagined. The facts will shock you. The self-assessments will open your eyes. The meal plans will inspire you and the more than forty pages of mouth-watering recipes will leave you salivating for a healthier life. We all need a friend to cheer us on and keep us on the right path. When it comes to nutrition, there is no better friend to have than Desiree." —Jason “The Germ Guy” Tetro, microbiologist and author of The Germ Code: How To Stop Worrying And Love The Microbes

"Move over Marion Nestle, Desiree Nielsen is taking the reins in decoding and decluttering nutrition. Un-Junk Your Diet is a delightful read with nutrition depth, scope, and authenticity. Desiree's humorous and relaxed approach creates an enjoyable reading experience. Whether you are just embarking on a path of 'un-junking' your diet or you're a professional looking for renewed hope in today's diet-minded society, Un-Junk Your Diet is the book to read! This book is a journey, one that will wind you down a path where you can feel success—from small, attainable goals to landmark changes. From quizzes and grocery lists to scrumptious recipes, Un-Junk Your Diet has it all—it's your one-stop-shop nutrition prescription! As a registered dietitian, I look forward to sending this book to those I love and recommending for all of my clients. Un-Junk Your Diet is a breath of fresh air in a society dense with toxic, creatively marketed, food smog!" —Wendy Jo Peterson, MS, RD, CSSD sports dietitian and culinary nutritionist, co-author of the Mediterranean Diet Cookbook For Dummies and Adrenal Fatigue for Dummies

Desiree is a registered dietitian, the host of TV’s The Urban Vegetarian and author of the bestselling new plant-based cookbook, Eat More Plants. Her work has been featured in People Magazine, Eating Well Magazine, Family Circle, Parade, KTLA, WGN Chicago, Hallmark Home and Family, USA Today, Well+Good and MindBodyGreen.

Desiree believes that food is the most delicious medicine; the way we choose to nourish our bodies can absolutely transform our lives. She runs a private practice in Vancouver, Canada with a focus on complex chronic digestive and inflammatory disease and plant-based approaches to optimal health and she has seen so many success stories from adopting a more whole food, plant-based approach with her clients.

Desiree spends most of her time in the kitchen with her two little sous chefs, puttering in her little vegetable garden or enjoying the nature that surrounds Vancouver. Having grown up learning to cook at her grandmother's apron strings, Desiree finds enormous joy in the kitchen and wants to share this joy with others. Desiree believes in a positive, additive approach to eating well. For too long, wellness has been synonymous with restrictive diets and food fear. Eat More Plants celebrates the abundance and flavour of plants - no deprivation, no compromise!

My mom loves watching her cooking show and wanted this book and the one that will be released in August. She assumed it would be a recipe book but it is not so she is disappointed. Hopefully the book that I preordered for her will be the recipe book she is looking for. We dont know about the content of the book because she didn't bother to read it.

Not what I expected. Recipes are not from a whole foods plant based diet. Dairy meat and eggs are horrible for health and not anti-inflammatory foods.

Not impressed, nothing spectacular about this book. We’ve made a few of the recipes already and have not really enjoyed any of them. You could get better more interesting recipes on Pinterest.
