i can't afford a nutritionist, but I really don't know a lot about proper nutrition balance. I obviously know what the healthiest foods are, but I don't know how to balance them etc. Does anyone have a book or web sight they recommend? I don't want anything from a direct marketing vitamin company. I want it about food. Thanks so much!

www.choosemyplate.gov is a good place to start. Another place to look is your local library. Good luck!

Also, if you have a local "mom 'n pop" health food store, they will usually give you a basic run down for free.
