review 1: I really really really like this book. Over the past few months as I've dealt with removing dairy and soy from my diet (which means most processed food, mixes, packaged anything) I have seen the contents of my grocery cart get a lot healthier and back to simple ingredients. Reading this book made me so much more aware of how important the produce section of the grocery store is. I have read a lot in articles here and there, but this book really lays out what our consumption should be like. I LOVE the food pyramid they have (minus the wine) and completely agree. One aspect I like was that they didn't say "no gluten". They explain how they've changed wheat with engineering and one effect is that wheat has more gluten. So instead of cutting it out like some nasty thing, they ... moreexplain how important it is to have the whole wheat versions, steel cut oatmeal, etc. The best of it and completely in moderation. The authors not only explain the reasoning behind their recommendations, but then give specific helpful advice and ideas. And I can attest to the benefits because by eating this way I can feel how much healthier my body is. I didn't get to finish the book since a bunch of other people wanted it at the library, but I can't wait to go back and rummage through their recipes. I usually get bored with books like this, and I'll admit I dind't finish it. But I really liked it.
review 2: Clean Cuisine by Ivy and Andrew Larson is an 8 week anti-inflammatory nutrition program that will change the way you age, look & feel. This book is all about controlling your hunger through eating nutrient-dense foods. Eating a diet rich in unrefined, whole carb foods filled with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber, will make you feel full, without filling you full of calories, and it’s the author’s contention that the bulk of our diets should come from these powerhouse foods.Ever since hubby and I were diagnosed with high cholesterol 5 years ago, I’ve been on a mission to improve the way we eat. We have incorporated a meatless day each week, we’ve incorporated more fish, we have stopped using prepackaged convenience foods, and we have been moving away from a meat, starch and vegetable meal pattern to a more vegetable focused one. We have nearly eliminated all highly refined grain products, opting for the much healthier whole grain versions almost exclusively. So, the 8 week Clean Cuisine program doesn’t seem like too radical a change to implement in our lives.I love the detailed information about each vitamin, mineral and nutrient that is given in this book. The authors bring strongly researched arguments as to why a nutrient-dense, vegetable-centric diet is essential in fighting inflammation. Not only do they tell you why you should follow this lifestyle change, they give you a detailed, step-by-step 8 week program to help you implement it. You’ll also learn about the after-burn effect of short, intense 30 minute workouts and how your body will actually burn more calories after the workout, then during it. They provide detailed, whole body, natural movement, resistance workouts, designed to take advantage of the afterburn.The 8 week plan contains a ton of recipes and menu plan ideas. And they show you how to easily transition into this lifestyle change. The recipes sound delicious and I intend to prepare and try out a number of them. Check out the Clean Cuisine website for more information and recipes. If you have been searching for a way to lose weight without feeling hungry, I think this plan might just be for you!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the Publisher or Author. I was not required to write a positive review. less
