I also have to recommend Deepak Chopra's "What Are You Hungry For?"!!
I've been listening to this in audio format on my long drives to the office :-) If you are struggling with changing your habits of eating and nutrition, this is a fantastic guide that offers simple tips to help you change your habits and views of your body, your nutrition, and lifestyle. This is NOT a diet book, which is one reason I love it! Dr. Chopra discusses awareness of patterns and how to change them! Personally, I needed the reminder to stop eating at my desk and foraging through Facebook as I ate; to eat with more awareness and focus on my food. I have gotten into a bad habit of working while eating and not really tasting any of my food, even though I generally eat healthy. I highly recommend this book if you struggle to eat in a healthy way–it's NOT just for people who want to lose weight. It will bring some balance into your life!

Quick meal prep from the The Goddess Kitchen (yeah, that's me) A great way to season and flavor anything! (Well, not desserts or drinks! haha) Meats, veggies, beans, soups... This makes a great soup/stock base as well. If you cook pork, chicken, or turkey, remember to brine it for 20 mins. in a salt or brining solution to increase tenderness and juiciness! (Then skip adding salt to your recipe, and no, it doesn't make it salty; the brine causes water to expand the cells, resulting in juicy and tender meat. Food science 101 :-) Don't forget that most factory farms are NOT regularly–if at all ever–inspected by USDA or FDA and that a LOT of salmonella/bacteria is not only covering your meat, but can also be found regularly on both the inside and OUTSIDE of the packaging. Wash your hands, grocery bags, and keep uncooked meat separate from every other food! Click "read more" for recipe... ! |
