Welcome to my stop on the What to Eat When blog tour sponsored by TLC Book Tours! Thanks to TLC for the invitation!
My Thoughts:
I was first introduced to Dr. Roizen over ten years ago when he and Dr. Oz wrote the first YOU book. I spend a lot of my time reading about nutrition and wellness, so I soaked this one up.
Many of the nutrition facts were things I somewhat knew, but the timing of eating certain foods was newer to me. Like, when is it better to eat a cookie? I especially loved their thoughts on greens, including kale, because I have dark, leafy greens every day and love them (thanks to my dad for the love of greens!).
At the heart of this book is how to prioritize what foods will benefit us the most. In a sea of processed foods and mixed messages about what to eat, there’s much value in that.
I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

This inspiring cookbook/strategic eating plan–sequel to the wildly popular What to Eat When–offers 125 delectable recipes geared to longevity, weight loss, and success.
In their acclaimed lifestyle guide What to Eat When, Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Michael Crupain revealed when to eat foods for healthier living, disease prevention, better performance, and a longer life. The key, they assert, is eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. Now, in this mouthwatering sequel, they deliver 125 recipes to put these lessons into practice. From a fiber-rich pasta dish loaded with healthy and fresh tomatoes and a creamy lemon dip and homemade crackers to satisfy your snack cravings to a salmon burger you’ll love to eat for breakfast (yes, breakfast!) and a healthier, decadant chocolate mousse–a treat that also offers hormone-boosting ingredients before you hit the gym. Each dish is paired with practical information about the nutrients and benefits of the ingredients, plus expert cooking tips, what portion size to eat when, and helpful subsitutions. Covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert–and the best times to eat all four–this highly anticipated sequel to Roizen and Crupain’s best-selling eating guide offers a plethora of meals that will get you through the day, and extend your life by years!

I thought some of the YOU books were excellent. My veggies I would eat as a child were green beans, spinach and corn on the cob. Of course, now I eat many more but I still like greens. I currently have broccoli, spinach and lettuce in the garden. I had chard in the spring garden and green beans this summer. I hope to do snow peas next year in the spring garden.

Yum, Anne! You are speaking my language. Snow peas and chard! Just yum! I try to have Swiss chard at least once a week in a green smoothie. Love your gardening and really wish I did more of that.

Your review makes me hungry! Everything sounds delicious, besides perhaps from the “dinner like a pauper” concept. I too love dark, leafy greens, especially wild rocket. 🙂

Thanks, Stargazer! Oh, I love our version of rocket, too, but I’m not sure if I’ve had wild before! I need to look for it!

Wow, this sounds like a book I could get some use from. I know about nutrition, but not about the best times to eat certain foods. This sounds like one that might help my journey to better health.
