"The Dietitian's Guide to Vegetarian Diets" is an excellent professional reference and textbook. It is intended for professional dietitians and other health care professionals (such as nutritionists, doctors, nurses, public health professionals, policy makers, educators, etc.). The book clearly assumes the reader has previously completed an "Introduction to Nutrition" course. This book is suitable for use as a university textbook for students who have previously completed their first nutrition course. Also, anyone who has completed a course in biochemistry will be able to readily follow this book.This is the third edition of this book. It has been fourteen years since the first edition was published; this edition brings the book up to date with current research and, I presume, it incorporates comments from many years of use by professionals.The book seems to cover every possible facet of the subject matter. I can only assume that it was developed from a very meticulous analysis of the dietitian's job. The text provides comprehensive coverage of each topic, supplemented by extensive lists of references to aid those who want to read additional academic papers. With the many cited references, the book provides a great review of literature on the subject.As with many textbooks, the content is dense (in a good way: thorough, complete, and concise) and also a bit "dry." You should give yourself several months to go through this book; it is not intended for a casual weekend read.I think it would be best to go through this book as part of a university course. If your university does not offer a course on vegetarian diets, perhaps your university will give you credit for studying this book under faculty supervision (as an "honor's research project," for example). I would guess that this book is suitable for a three semester hour university course.Chapters:-- Book Intro: An Overview of Vegetarian Diet (pages 1 to 2)1.

I am a Family Physician with special interest in Preventative Medicine. Nutrition plays a major role in preventative medicine and in the era of so many non substantial facts this book is really an asset. Many evidenced based nutritional gems, tables and explanation in a way that even the non-scientists can understand. I'd recommend it to everyone who has any interest in nutrition.
This textbook is great for anyone interested in vegetarianism. I particular recommend this book to any dietitian with vegetarian clients.
I have owned previous editions of this book, and have found each of them to be a valuable tool in my work as a dietitian. This third edition is excellent.
My vegetarian bible.
