I'd Kill For A Cookie is a great book that deals with the everyday nuiances that cause us to eat incorrectly. It applies to people in all walks of life, from professionals, to families, to kids. I changed from the pancakes and syrup I was giving my kids to a protein packed breakfast so they would have more energy and concentration. I also quit eating so much protein late at night because that was the reason I was having trouble sleeping, and now I eat something with more carbohydrates in the evenings. This books shows how we can still eat all the foods we love, we may just have to eat them in moderation or eat them at a different time. When we are stressed, and we all are at some time or another whether we realize it or not, we tend to eat what is the easiest to grab, which is usually the wrong thing!
