Hot!!!

Special Price Here

This cookbook packs in over 100 great seafood recipes and side dishes for people with diabetes, as well as those just looking to eat healthy food.

As a Registered Dietitian and Cerified Diabetes Educator I encourage my patients to include at least 2 fish meals per week. Many are intimidated to cook fish at home or are unsure of how to prepare it. I finally have a great reference to guide them to!!

You’ll find the “Cook’s Tips” packed with alternative ideas on how to prepare, purchase or serve the dish. Many of the recipes contain ingredients which are found in your pantry or fridge so it is easy to cook up a meal quickly.

All of the recipes include nutritional information in exchanges as well as the carbohydrate grams for carb counting. Calories,fat, fiber, protein and sodium values make it easy to use these recipes when following any meal plan.

I have had the pleasure of tasting many of these delicious recipes in Barbara’s cooking classes and my own home. Enjoy Kathy Tigue, RD,CDE,MPA

The Diabetes Seafood Cookbook: Fresh, Healthy, Low-Fat Cooking Overview

Meals that are naturally delicious, low-fat, and diabetes-friendly!
Naturally low in fat and packed with protein and healthy omega-3 fats, seafood is a perfect choice for fresh meals that fit well into a diabetes meal plan. Unfortunately, most seafood cookbooks on the market take what’s naturally a healthy ingredient and add heavy cream sauces, fatty oils, or fried batters. The results are unhealthy meals packed with fat and cholesterol that could potentially wreck a diabetes self-care plan. With The Diabetes Seafood Cookbook, author Barbara Seelig-Brown has put together over 100 meals that deliver seafood’s nutrition-dense benefits without skimping on taste. Brown has refined the art of coaxing delicious meals from healthy ingredients, while keeping the process simple and approachable.

Why Am I Always So Tired?: Discover How Correcting Your Body’s Copper Imbalance Can * Keep Your Body From Giving Out Before Your Mind Does *Free You from … Midday Slumps * Give You the Energy Break Review

Her theory is that copper may be causing fatigue in some people, however, this is rare as most of us are able to excrete any excess copper. Thus, you should get a hair analysis test done to find out (you can buy these online for about ). If you do indeed have excess copper you can follow the supplement and dietary guidelines she provides. Her advise is holistic, so recovery will most likely take longer. There are a couple of prescription meds available to help rid of excess copper which she does not discuss at all.

She also discusses the very important role of zinc (which will also be tested if you order a hair analysis). Although I did not test high for copper, I do have very low zinc and thanks to this book I can work on that which should help in my overall health.

If you have copper overload or low zinc there is a “Nutritional Data” website that will tell you exactly how much of each is in different foods.

Why Am I Always So Tired?: Discover How Correcting Your Body’s Copper Imbalance Can * Keep Your Body From Giving Out Before Your Mind Does *Free You from … Midday Slumps * Give You the Energy Break Overview

“This may well be a seminal book–a courageous eye-opener that could fundamentally alter our approach to the treatment of chronic fatigue.” — From the foreword by Michael Rosenbaum, M.D.

Answering the question on the minds of 75 percent of Americans, Why Am I Always So Tired?, leading nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman shows us how we canbe more alert and active by eliminating excess copper in our diets and increasing our zinc intake. The time-tested formula points out which culprits steal energyfrom us–namely trendy, low-fat diets–that make otherwise healthy people feel drained.

This revolutionary book offers Gittleman’s insights into how we can modify our diets and lifestyles to increase our energy and prevail over the chronic fatigue thatplagues us with symptoms such as: anxiety, insomnia, skin problems, frequentcolds, and roller-coaster emotions. Using her research and breakthroughfindings, Gittleman helps us eliminate these problems and access the energywe didn’t know we had.

Why Am I Always So Tired?: Discover How Correcting Your Body’s Copper Imbalance Can * Keep Your Body From Giving Out Before Your Mind Does *Free You from … Midday Slumps * Give You the Energy Break Specifications

Copper overload is an insidious but increasingly common nutritional problem, says Ann Louise Gittleman, author of the bestselling Beyond Pritikin. She says that difficulty getting out of bed, midday slumps, mood swings, insomnia, and anxiety may be symptoms of a copper/zinc imbalance. She discovered this link after she encountered several patients in her nutritional practice–most of them women–who were not suffering from hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, or anemia (as she had suspected), but rather a mineral imbalance that was diagnosed after simple hair testing.

Vegetarian diets, low-fat diets, and taking multivitamins–all ostensibly healthy moves–can make you more susceptible to copper overload. So do less-healthy activities, including drinking alcohol and coffee, taking cortisone, and being constantly stressed. (These activities sap the body of zinc, says Gittleman, jeopardizing the delicate zinc/copper homeostasis in the body.) Home tap water may also be overloaded with copper, and women are susceptible to absorbing copper from intrauterine devices.

To remedy the overload, Gittleman outlines an easy plan for renewing health and increasing energy. She includes a questionnaire to help determine if copper overload may be a problem for you; gives resources for hair analysis in case your doctor doesn’t have one; instructs on how to read a tissue-analysis report; and outlines a sensible diet plan, including menus to keep the zinc/copper balance in check.

Up to 80 percent of the general population complains about fatigue; Gittleman’s book may very well offer a simple solution for thousands of people. –Erica Jorgensen

The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book: Protect Yourself and Your Family from Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies ? and More Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

I purchased this book for a multitude of reasons and have found the content useful and the recipes easy to follow and implement into my daily menu planning. This book is not an extreme approach to healthful eating which I appreciated. It is not suggesting you become a vegan to maintain a healthy lifestyle, just making slight augmentations to the diet can have a huge impact on how you feel and how your body responds to illness. I’m using this book in hopes that my daughter will have decreased issues with eczema and symptoms of asthma. As a family we are making these changes and I hope to prevent myself from developing heart disease which runs in my family. I think this is a great read and would highly recommend it. I only wish she had suggestions for further readings or recommendations for other cookbooks that she finds useful.

The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book: Protect Yourself and Your Family from Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies ? and More Overview

The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies and poor dietary choices overstimulate the immune system and cause inflammatory responses that erode the body’s wellness and pave the path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains 108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite recipes to increase their healing potential.

I read this books years ago, and when I found out the book was revised I had to have it. This book teaches you how to make a healthy eatting change for life, or just to lose those unwanted pounds. It tells you the importance of why you should not avoid carbohydrates, and it is very easy because you choose what you eat to loose weight, as long as you dont exceed your daily calorie or fat intake per day. It also teaches you why on 1000 caloried diets dont work because your body think it s starving and you dont loose weight because of so few calories. You can also save up for splurges. I think the hardest part in following this diet is eatting more than I am use to, when most diets you hardly eat. If interested in a positive eatting change where you can eat what you want, lose weight, drop your cholesterol level, and make this change for life, this is the book for you, I just love it, and the new me, because of it.

I consult it for exciting potluck appetizer recipes like creamy frijole dip and black bean tarts, exotic salads like white bean crab salad and adzuki fruit salad as well as everyday main courses such as chili (for which there are five variations) and wraps.

Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother’s Tokyo Kitchen Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

I bought this book as a way to re-teach myself how to eat properly. A go back to basics if you will. On the same day I bought French Women Don’t Get Fat as well. I’m not a fat person at all, I’m a dancer and I also suffer from hypoglycemia. I tried doing the French book and it didn’t go over well at all. I’d gotten to the part where you’re supposed to fast for a weekend drinking nothing but some leek broth and my body said no way. I gave up on that book and picked up this one instead. At first I thought it was going to be exactly like the other, but this one turned out to be better. For one thing there was no fasting involved. At first this kind of puzzled me since most diets require you to fast at the beginning. Then it dawned on me that eating more veggies would do the job for you, just a little slower and gentler. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to try any of the recipies as I now live on a tight budget and in a small town where mexican food is considered foreign so I have to drive quite a way to find the ingredients I need. Using a little common sense and ingenuity however I applied these principles to Western food (I am a fully blown European decended American) along with what my own mother taught me (stay away from processed foods as much as possible, eat your veggies, etc.) and found that I was able to find a healthy weight, lots more energy, and I was able to control my hypoglycemia much better. If anything its been several months since I’ve had a “low” and I couldn’t be more pleased.
Another thing is that people think that this is a loose weight diet book. It’s not. It’s a way to encourage you to eat healthier and if you happen to loose a couple of pounds along the way then great. Diet doesn’t always mean loosing weight. A diet can also be a way to increase energy or prevent you from getting sick.
That being said I can now put my soapbox away on dieting and wrap this up. This book is a nice read and encouraging in that it doesn’t browbeat you about being fat and make you feel guilty. If you’re looking for a way to re-learn how to eat properly and healty then this is definately the book for you. If you’re looking for a fad diet where you’ll loose 50 lbs in two weeks then forget it.

(None of my comments are in any way to be taken as medical advice. I’m not a doctor. I’ve just found something that works for me.)

Inflammation Nation: The First Clinically Proven Eating Plan to End Our Nation’s Secret Epidemic Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

I just finished this book. It was a light and interesting read. I gave it five stars because I believe that despite how the material was delivered — it is an extremely important subject that is, overall, quite esoteric. Thus, for his field one can’t criticize too harshly.

The book itself I felt like it could, as other reviewers have said, had a little more emphasis on an actual plan. Instead of giving a plan he demonstrated it with *ideas* for meals. I really wanted some more specific nutritional content instead of an overall “index.” But hey, maybe I’m just a little bit of a science geek at heart. (Give me real numbers, not made up units!) Though, clearly, this book was intended for the common man — for the nation — not for a scientist at heart.

One thing that surprised me is how little supplementation of omega 3 EPA he recommended. Perhaps this was because he expected us to be getting it from the better meals we would be eating? Some studies on depression/bipolar, among other things recommend supplementing as much as 2 GRAMS of EPA per day, many of which have impressive outcomes! (Can this amount be achieved simply by eating “right?” Perhaps this high ammount is therapeautic)

But the important things that were introduced to me in this book that despite all of my reading of scientific studies, and prowling around on the net for information on inflammatory disease, I had never run across comes from the insightful review of the effects of arachidonic acid — an insidious omega 6 fatty acid in our diet responsible for much of our immune problems as a nation, and the effects of an important supplement I’d entirely neglected to ever look into: borage oil.

Over all, this book had great information in it that even an otherwise well-informed guy like me could use! For all of it’s shortcomings it offers something that’s great, and I think, could stop a LOT of misery in this world! If I have any criticism, it is that it felt geared a little too much towards the average joe! But this isn’t a bad thing… it just serves a bigger purpose and that is helping the common man, instead of being simply of academic appeal.

Highly recommended.

Inflammation Nation: The First Clinically Proven Eating Plan to End Our Nation’s Secret Epidemic Overview

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST OUR COUNTRY’S MOST ALARMING HEALTH CRISIS.

In Inflammation Nation, internationally renowned scientist Dr. Floyd H. Chilton exposes the root cause of a host of seemingly disparate diseases, such as arthritis, heart disease, obesity, eczema, lupus, Alzheimer’s, and emphysema: unbridled inflammation. The average American diet (even when we’re making what we think are healthy choices) is inflaming our immune systems. But with Dr. Chilton’s revolutionary, all-natural dietary program, you can learn how to choose foods that will help prevent, treat, and reverse the effects of this secret epidemic in as few as seven days.

The Chilton Program includes:

• Easy-to-follow meal plans developed in collaboration with a world-class medical school
• A new food pyramid that charts which foods you should enjoy or avoid
• The Inflammation Index, which gives you the inflammatory potential of more than 250 foods

Backed by twenty years of research, and by an unprecedented six clinical trials, Dr. Chilton’s anti-inflammatory regimen is a must-have for the nearly 100 million Americans diagnosed with an inflammatory disorder and for the rest of us who must protect ourselves from this growing health crisis.
