I received a complimentary copy of this book from iRead Book Tours.
I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
Amy Newman Shapiro breaks down all the well-known diets in The Great Weight Debate: Get the Facts and Choose the Diet That’s Right for You in easy to understand format: “How it Works,” “What The Experts Say,” and “Is This Diet Right For You.” Several times, Amy informs the reader which foods to eat and not to eat in relation to a specific diet plan. If you want to know which diets were #1 or #2 in 2020, well, she lets you know that as well.
There were many diets that I am very familiar with because I have tried it, knew someone who had, or seen it advertised repeatedly. Even though I was familiar with almost every diet discussed, Amy Newman Shapiro gave me facts/statistics that I wasn’t aware of until now. For example, I had no idea the Ketogenic Diet has been used to treat epilepsy, seizure disorders, and cancer. It’s also showed promising results against migraines, depression, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Fascinating, right?!
I also had no clue how many of these well-known diets had been linked to poor digestive health, heart disease, and other health ailments. Oh, I was also shocked at how much exercise would be required to burn off ONE Taco Bell taco salad.
Humans are always going to diet. In The Great Weight Debate: Get the Facts and Choose the Diet That’s Right for You, Amy Newman Shapiro points out key factors to success and, yes, failures. People who are dieting or plan to diet don’t want to fail in their weight-loss goal. I suggest reading the book, pick the right plan for you, and do as Amy states… “Set realistic goals.”
She also stresses speaking to your primary doctor before starting any diet—good, solid advice.

The book contains a detailed list of Superhero Cooking Tips and delicious kid-friendly recipes including Super Chicken Tacos, Powerful Potato Cakes, Mega Mac and Cheese Pizza, Crime Fighter’s Cookie Fluff, Legendary Lemon Tarts, and many more!
Let your child try their hand with the recipes in this book. Every kid who becomes the superhero of suppertime is one who eats super well!
I loved reading the recipes and checking out the colorful illustrations in Be a Superhero in the Kitchen! It’s perfect for all budding chefs. I love that there are 20 recipes, including main dishes, side dishes, breads, desserts, and even a beverage. I love the helpful tips for young cooks, and all the cautions necessary for cooking. Fun recipes that almost every child will eat (especially if they are helping to prepare the meal). One of the goals of the author is to try and get picky eaters to eat (after helping make the food). Though veggies are minimal, there are many little tips included that say, “You might try adding…” (other veggies or flavors). Way to go! Get cooking!
This is a terrific book to get a young person interested in cooking, and how to have fun in the kitchen. I bought an author signed copy as a birthday gift for my grandson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good cook book
I showed this book to my niece who plays with her kitchen set. She started doing a demo of all the dishes mentioned in the book. Colorful display, super hero themes really were too good. Picture books mostly interest the kids a lot. I recommend this book to all who are new to cooking and all parents who have kids.
I am a wife, mother of two kids, a lover of comic books, and a home cook. I believe in making mealtime an enjoyable experience through joint cooking and kid-friendly meals. I also believe kids that help with the cooking process are more likely to eat their meals, which leads to a happy, peaceful dining experience. Be a Superhero in the Kitchen is my first children’s cookbook, but I strive to publish more.
