While reflecting the dynamic nature of the field of nutrition, the 9th edition of the Simplified Diet Manual retains its basic purpose: providing easy-to-understand, basic nutrition guidelines for normal and therapeutic diets. The uncomplicated format makes it a useful resource for foodservice workers in long-term care, small hospitals, and physician's offices for guidance when a Registered Dietitian is not available.

Thanks to regular review and revision by the Iowa Dietetic Association, this classic and best-selling text incorporates changes in the science of nutrition and societal trends, making it the reference of choice when prescribing and interpreting diets or nutrition plans.
