The 36 half hour lecture series Nutrition Made Clear by Professor Roberta H. Anding provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of knowledge on nutrition for a lay person. Professor Anding is a registered clinical dietician focusing on pediatric and sports nutrition in the state of Texas.
She emphasizes eating whole foods over specific nutritional supplements. There is more nutrition in foods than simply the vitamins and minerals listed. Supplements are not well regulated with respect to purity. There may be an ingredient that is not on the label or the concentration of the supplement may not be accurate. She recommends eating foods with a wide variety of colors. They do not need to be exotic or expensive fruits. She does urge caution about the consumption of grapefruit as a chemical in the fruit alters the effectiveness of a significant percentage of prescription drugs.
Her guidance on weight loss was very helpful. You can increase the total daily requirement for calories by increasing you bodies lean muscle mass. She recommends a combination of 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day with twice a week strength training to optimize health benefits.
