Book Description

Publication Date: 21 May 2001 | ISBN-10: 0007114230 | ISBN-13: 978-0007114238

An eating programme supported by MIND, the mental health charity, to put a smile on your face.

When MIND, the mental health charity, helped to launch The Food and Mood Project the media went straight to Amanda Geary, the Project’s Originator and a nutritionist herself. The Mind Meal was launched and this handbook will be invaluable to everyone who has suffered from mood swings, food cravings, any form of eating disorder, hypoglycaemia, or PMS.

The book also introduces many key issues and gives practical self-help advice:
- sugar sensitivity
- the caffeine effect
- stressors on your system
- supplements
- low GI foods
- allergy culprits (wheat/milk)
with recipes and tips from project participants.

From the Author

This is the book I wish I'd had 10 year's ago when my doctor diagnosed depression and presribed me antidepressant medication. Instead, I've written it myself and the book's content reflects my personal journey as well as the private study and professional experience of the past decade. I sincerely hope you find it helpful.Here, you will also be able to join the free email food and mood support group and share your thoughts and experiences with others who have read the book.

Eat well!

Amanda Geary November 2001

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book! 21 Dec 2001
By booklover 17
Format:Paperback
This is a really excellent book that is very enjoyable to read as it is well set out. It gives clear explanations as to why foods affect the mind, and gives many practical examples to improve mood. A must, for anyone who suffers from any kind of mood disorder such as depression. There are plenty of interesting case studies to back up what is being said. Clear guidelines are given with regards to going on a elimination diet, which can be very difficult to do. This should be mandatory reading for every nutritionist and student nutritionist alike. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource. 24 Jun 2007
By C. SAUL
Format:Paperback
An excellent resource book relating food to those affected with/experiencing mood problems. Nutrionist Amanda Geary discusses topics such as food groups, sensitivities, intolerances, current thinking on neuro-biological chemicals and diet plans involved in mood in a down-to-earth and easy to read book which covers one hell of a lot. Dont buy other books if you are interested in this area, I have read many other books and this book explains and guides in much more depth, broadness and clarity than any other comparable book out there. Amanda may also help you look at areas of your diet that other auithors completely ignore. I defintitely recomend this useful and potentially life-changing/enriching book.

At last someone has written a book relating how different foods and minerals affect your moods and mental health and well being. This book has been a very useful book and it has widened my knowledge about a lot of food groups.

By Sab
Format:Paperback
This is a must have for anyone interested in how food affects the mind. Really easy to read, no jargon and easy to dip in and dip out. I incorporated some of the things they suggested and do feel better for it physically and emotionally.
