What, How Much and How to Eat: A Simple Science-Backed Guide to Portion Control, Balanced Nutrition & Sustainable Healthy Eating: Simple and Sustainable
Most nutrition books are happy to tell you what to put on your plate. Far fewer bother explaining how much, and almost none do it without burying you in calorie spreadsheets or baffling metabolic equations. Gadre's book takes a different approach. It's practical, rooted in evidence, and genuinely readable. The focus sits firmly on portion awareness rather than obsessive tracking, which will come as a relief to anyone who's tried and abandoned a calorie-counting app. The guide offers a flexible, customisable eating template that adapts to your lifestyle rather than demanding you reshape your life around it. Specific chapters address conditions including diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, obesity, hypothyroidism, and PCOS, giving the book real breadth for readers managing health concerns alongside everyday nutrition. A welcome bonus is the myth-busting section, handled with dry humour and genuine scientific grounding. Gadre takes on some persistent food debates (jaggery versus sugar, A1 versus A2 milk, fruit mixed with dairy) and cuts through the noise with clarity and a light touch. Sentences are kept accessible throughout, and the tone never tips into lecturing. This is the kind of book you keep in the kitchen rather than on a shelf. It won't promise transformation or dramatic results. What it does offer is a sensible, sustainable framework for eating better, one that treats readers as capable adults. For anyone fatigued by conflicting dietary advice, it's a considered and very usable resource.
