Reddit reviews Krause's Food & Nutrition Therapy

I'm a Registered Dietitian in the U.S. and work within the powdered foods community doing consulting for both Powdered Foods Market and invidiual clients. In school we used a slightly older version of Krause Food and Nutrition Therapy which is an excellent in depth resource for medical diets. This is a great starting point to understand general needs as well as specialized disease/condition needs. If you're like me you will quickly want to know the biochemistry that the body is going through, to which I'd recommend Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism. In med-school the idea is "teach the framework of the body, instead of memorizing the pieces". When I'm really struggling to figure out what a patient needs, this is the resource I fall back on. Either way, if you ever have questions feel free to jump over to PFM and check out some of the questions I've already answered, I guarantee you'll learn a few things!
