Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat

Review:As a restaurant owner, I often get requests for vegetarian food. I have tried to make a number of the recipes in this cookbook and have been inspired to give vegetarian fare more presence. I found the food to be rich, and quite beautiful. It was much more sophisticated than I was expecting. Read more

Lose More--and Keep the Weight Off - Cheat More

Review:I had heard about this book for awhile, but never got around to checking it out. I love Jackie from her shows on Bravo and know that she really knows what she's talking about. I read the entire book in one sitting the day it arrived. It really made me think about things in a different light, as they are related to my eating habits and how I view my body.
It's one of the only books that doesn't just stress how being overweight affects your health and all that- she also talks a lot about that y... Read more

More than 150 Recipes to Help You Lose Weight and Stay Healthy for Life

Review:Cookbook is excellent. If you are trying to become aware of eating healthy sugar free and carbohydrate free lifestyle then this is a great choice. Keep in mind this is not a 10 day detox this book is designed for post detox which is a different book. This is definitely more of a lifestyle book and I would highly recommend it if you are ready to be healthy and change the way you look at food. Read more

More Than 175 Delicious Recipes for Sustained Weight Loss and Vibrant Health

Review:Love the recipes. They use spices I have never used and it is soooo delicious! Not spicy hot, just wonderful tastes. I am using the recipes the recipes for sever acid-reflux. I alter the recipes so that I do not include ingredients that will effect my issues. I have also read Dr. Hyman's nutritional science books for several years. They are fascinating but, very complicated and turned me off for years. But, just jump into it and find the recipes you like. Then the science fits. My tummy ... Read more

The Best Recipes and Kitchen Wisdom for Delicious - Healthy Family Meals
The Best Recipes and Kitchen Wisdom for Delicious - Healthy Family Meals

Review:A very happy cookbook with a family focus. The chances that we will marry into the Pollan family or be invited over for dinner are small; so this is the next best thing.

I recommend the Pollan signature salad that includes mesclun, walnuts, pear, and a mustard, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar dressing (it is made by each of the sisters, their mother and brother; and it is requested by their friends and family for potlucks); the golden baby artichokes with lemon zest; their...

The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast! - The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle
The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast! - The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle

Review:After finishing the Eades program I didn't lose much weight (<5 lbs) but I did lose almost 2 inches off my 51 year old middle, so I have to pronounce the experiment a success. And, if followed strictly, I would be very surprised if most people didn't have the same result. I wasn't after weight loss, I viewed this as a liver detox program. And a very intriguing one at that. The medical rationale portion of the book is very interesting and readable. Since other reviewers have gone into the... Read more

I also am really excited to make some out the missed for making meal preparation easier and faster! I am so pleased with this book and hope that the author will write another one. Thank you.
