Midwest Book Review
The Simplified Diet Manual has been an on-going project of the Iowa Dietetic Association and an invaluable guide and resource for hospitals and long-term care facilities in every state and many foreign countries. In a straight forward and uncomplicated way, this manual presents basic diet principles, general and modified diets, and menus to help health care workers and dietitians provide clients with nutritious and pleasing meals. This new edition under the excellent editorship of Judy Fitzgibbons incorporates many of the food trends and changes in health care that have affected nutrition therapy in recent years, such as Americans' concern about limiting dietary fat and the increased ethnic mix in American food choices. Features include menu planning guidelines based on the "Food Guide Pyramid"; Vegetarian, Finger Food, and Limited Concentrated Sweets diets; other diets have been revised, replaced and renamed; and adjustments to the appendix include a chart of body mass index, a revised potassium per household measure chart, and revised safeguards for food that address recent public health concerns. Simplified Diet Manual sets the standard in its field.
