According to an article on health in The Washington Post, 45 million Americans go on a diet each year. One of the challenges in living and eating healthier is sorting through the multitude of nutritional information and diet plans that are out there. That’s where the third edition of The Gale Encyclopedia of Diets can make a difference. This resource presents detailed, yet easy-to-read information on 318 topics covering diet and nutrition.

Entries include special and popular diets, dietary treatments, nutrition basics, and health-related concerns. Diet entries focus on the development and history of a diet, its basic principles, key figures that influenced its practice, any established benefits, risks and precautions, and relevant research. Information is provided across all age groups—from infants to the elderly.
