The Good Mood Diet Feel Great While You Lose Weight
Dr. Kleiner is a leading nutrition authority on eating for strength who has put together a diet that has already been successfully tested in a Seattle weight-loss group and documented in a series by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. This book proves that you can choose healthy foods that both make you feel great and, when eaten according to the plan, help you lose weight. Most diets cause chemical changes in the brain that make the dieter feel depressed. The typical plan is often too low in calories. In THE GOOD MOOD DIET the participants eat feel-good foods with both ideal timing and ideal combinations–a balance of protein and fats to go with carbohydrates. Eating from a list of “feel-good foods,” including fish, flax seed and eggs, and eliminating “feel-bad foods” including refined sugar, helps dieters feel better and lose weight. However, sweets and alcohol are not taboo–eating a bit of chocolate and drinking a glass of red wine a day is okay once you’re two weeks into the diet.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars A good high protein diet
The authors recommend 10 servings of protein a day; and that makes this a high protein diet: not overly high but high. Check with your MD to see how many servings are safe for you if you are a woman as wrist fractures increase for women consuming over 8 ounces of protein a day, according to a major female nurse study–however, you may be able to consume more, safely, if you are obese. The foods recommended are proven to improve mood. The high protein helps promote satiety so you won’t feel hungry. It’s nice to have proven combinations of foods spelled out and placed into daily menus. Great little book!
5 Stars A diet that delivers on it’s promise
The Good Mood Diet really does help to balance your moods - it was as if eating the recommended foods simply erased my tendency toward irritability and anxiety. I was a little concerned when my weight did not go down right away, as that was also what I was looking for, but it just took a few weeks for my metabolism to speed up and then everything was good. The book is quite detailed. Very much to learn, but it WORKS! Also, there is a website with a chat group to get support and ask questions which is very helpful. Also, if it seems overwhelming at first, it’ll get much easier to do without checking off a list in just a couple of weeks. Definitely recommend this book. May not be the fastest weight loss plan, but the healthiest physically and emotionally. Go buy it!
5 Stars Good Mood lifestyle.
This book is great! The diet is simple and easy to follow, and the book is written in such a real manner. I got what Dr. Kleiner has to say and it just makes sense. I sleep better, have more energy in the day time, and have had a lot of fun with the smoothy recipes.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to make a positive change in their life and get a fresh start!

2 Stars First purchase
As good as the link described this book, i was disappointed to find that it wasnt relevant to me in the way it had said. A somewhat older style fad book, although having good suggestions, is not for someone 27 living in Australia from a different era’.
4 Stars Great book
this book is truly a great read and I would suggest it to anyone. I now incorporate the daily foods the book suggests into my diet including a cup of hot cocoa nightly before bed. It really does soothe your body. I also noticed instant improvements in my mood after a couple of days. This book is not really about dieting, it’s about eating right to feel good, which is a major plus. My mom is currently reading this book! Thank you.
