Food for Joy: A Dietitian's Notes (Yeda dlya Radosti)

A compass-like book that will help you build a healthy relationship with food and avoid getting lost in the ocean of modern healthy eating theories.
My Friend – the Stomach by Elena Motova, a practicing nutritionist, science journalist, and blogger, was published in 2017 and instantly became a bestseller. This is unsurprising, as information is becoming increasingly accessible in today's world, and navigating the endless 'one-size-fits-all' nutrition theories, one-day diets, and the opinions of armchair experts is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, in her second book, Food for Joy, Elena immediately states that her main goal is to provide her readers with a roadmap of sorts and guide them through the 'maze of misinformation to a harmonious relationship with food.' Drawing on cutting-edge scientific research, Elena debunks key myths surrounding healthy eating, subtly mocks marketing ploys designed to lure consumers into believing a product is unique and exceptionally 'healthy,' and promotes a truly worry-free approach to nutrition that eschews extremes and black-and-white worldviews.
