 WOLFGANG PUCK MAKES IT HEALTHY

Light, Delicious Recipes & Easy Exercise For A Better Life

 World renowned chef Wolfgang Puck not only brings his signature charm and wide array of culinary expertise into every kitchen but also provides readers with the food and fitness plan that helped him go from being overweight and out of shape to fit and energetic. In his latest cookbook, Wolfgang Puck offers more than 100 health-conscious recipes that are full of flavor and simple to prepare including some modified classics from his earlier cookbooks and others that are brand new, with many of the recipes reflecting the food he cooks at home for his family and friends.

With meal advice, fitness tips, and a techniques section, readers now have the ultimate toolkit to find healthy and flavorful food inspiration for each meal, including side dishes, snacks and desserts. This is not a diet or weight-loss book, according to Puck. Instead, it is “a lifelong way to cook, eat, and exercise for better health”.

Wolfgang Puck was a driving force behind the popularity of California Cuisine as a result of opening Spago in 1982. Puck was twice named Outstanding Chef of the Year by the James Beard Foundation. His other restaurants include Chinois, Postino, and CUT. Puck regularly appears on ABC’s Good Morning America, has a syndicated newspaper column, “Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen”, which reaches more than five million home cooks every week, sells his own merchandise on the Home Shopping Network, and has developed his own lines of gourmet soups, pasta sauces, bottles iced coffee drinks, estate-grown coffees, and fine wines.

It’s time to subscribe to Bobby’s philosophy: “If you keep it simple and load up your meals with great flavor, maintaining a balanced diet will start to feel like no big deal.”

Fresh off the success of his #1 New York Times bestseller, From Mama’s Table to Mine, Cooking Channel star, Bobby Deen, is back with BOBBY DEEN’S EVERYDAY EATS. Everyone loves a home -cooked meal, but unfortunately during the craziness of the week, getting dinner on the table often means sacrificing healthier, lower calorie meals.

This is the only cookbook you’ll need for fast, delicious, and—most importantly—healthy weeknight eating throughout the year.

About Bobby Dean: Growing up in a traditional Southern kitchen, recent newlywed and self-proclaimed “Georgia Boy” Bobby Deen went to work with his brother Jamie, in his mother Paula’s kitchen– when he was eighteen. Bobby, along with his brother Jamie and their mom, founded a small Savannah, Georgia catering business known for delivering “lunch-and-love-in-a-bag,” which grew into one of Savannah’s most-loved restaurants, The Lady & Sons. With The Lady and Sons firmly established, Bobby and Jamie began appearing to rave reviews on their mother’s cooking shows on the Food Network, and soon launched their own show on the network, “Road Tasted,” which followed Bobby and Jamie as they explored America in search of love and warmth-infused cooking. Both Bobby and Jamie Deen began to draw a new, younger audience to the growing number of Deen Family fans in America. Today, Bobby’s #1 show, “Not My Mama’s Meals,” airs on the Cooking Channel. “Not My Mama’s Meals” brings some of his family’s favorite Southern recipes to the table with his healthier, lighter approach to cooking.

Grain Brain:The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar—Your Brain’s Silent Killers By David Perlmutter

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

YOUR BRAIN, THE BODY’S MOST FRAGILE ORGAN, IS UNDER ATTACK!! Dr. David Perlmutter exposes the dangers of carbs—even “healthy” carbs like whole grains—on the brain and their role in everything from chronic headaches and insomnia to depression, epilepsy, ADHD, and Alzheimer’s. Explaining that the brain has not yet evolved to be able to handle the kind of high-carb, high-gluten, and high sugar diet we typically eat, Dr. Perlmutter provides a four-week plan to teach us what we should be eating in order to take back our brain health.

“A galvanizing call to arms against a gluten-heavy diet.” – Kirkus Reviews

 

“Dr. Perlmutter outlines an innovative approach to our most fragile organ, the brain.  He is an absolute leader in the use of alternative and conventional approaches in the treatment of neurologic disorders.  I have referred him patients with wonderful results.  He is on the cutting edge and can help change the way we practice medicine.” – Mehmet Oz, MD

“Dr. Perlmutter takes us on a detailed tour of the destructive effects that “healthy whole grains” have on our brains. Modern wheat, in particular, is responsible for destroying more brains in this country than all the strokes, car accidents, and head trauma combined. Dr. Perlmutter makes a persuasive case for this wheat-free approach to preserve brain health and functioning, or to begin the process of reversal.” – William Davis, MD, Author of Wheat Belly

Honey Brings the Energy with Mitzi Dulan

Mitzi Dulan shows viewers how to use honey as an all-natural energy booster.

Mitzi Dulan discusses how she uses honey as an all-natural energy booster.

September is not just back to school, but back to routine for the millions of Americans who have said goodbye to the carefree days of summer and are returning to the daily grind.  From that second or third snooze in the morning to that long yawn during your afternoon meeting, getting energized for the day and keeping that energy is, well, exhausting!

America’s Nutrition Expert Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD, has inspired millions to lose weight, get fit and keep energized.  As the current team nutritionist for the Kansas City Royals baseball team and former team nutritionist for the Kansas City Chiefs football team, Mitzi knows one secret ingredient for a quick, natural energy booster—honey.  Whether it’s at the office, at school or after a workout, many Americans experience that mid-afternoon energy slump, and the majority crave something less than nutritious and binge on candy, sodas and other high-calorie foods. Mitzi was in the studio with us this week discussing how honey can play an important role in your day:

 

 

  • Morning wake-up:  what you choose to eat sets the tone for the day ahead.
  • Keep hydrated throughout the day.
  • Mid-morning crash: mix nut butter and honey as a dip for fruits or vegetables.
  • Maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day by consuming adequate amounts of protein.
  • 3 p.m. slump and afterschool doldrums: try Mitzi’s personal favorites (wink, you’ll have to interview her to find out!).
  • Pre-, mid- or post-workout: Learn to make your own budget-friendly drink and the perfect post-workout meal.

THE BLOOD SUGAR SOLUTION COOKBOOK by Dr. Mark Hyman

/in , , , , , , /by

Over 50 percent of meals in America are eaten outside the home, where highly processed, high-fat, high-sugar, low-fiber foods are consumed in abundance. The major culprit of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease is insulin imbalance, and it has emerged as a major crisis in American families. Today one in two Americans has either pre-diabetes or diabetes. In less than a decade the rate of pre-diabetes or diabetes in teenagers has risen 9 percent, to 23 percent. That means almost one in four kids has pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Shocking, and yet perhaps even more so, 37 percent of kids at a normal weight have one or more cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, because even though factory food doesn’t necessarily make you fat, it does make you sick!

Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook

In The Blood Sugar Solution, Dr. Hyman revealed the root causes of chronic disease, the secret to losing weight, and a roadmap for preventing diabesity and getting healthy. In THE BLOOD SUGAR SOLUTION COOKBOOK, Dr. Hyman begins by showing readers how to take an assessment of their own health status and how to prepare their kitchen to follow The Blood Sugar Solution six-week program, and he presents the principles for eating healthy for life. Following are 175 original, wholesome, and delicious recipes—from Dr. Hyman’s own collection as well as from his community of chefs—that are free of allergens and harmful inflammatory ingredients. Readers can exchange toxic factory-made foods for nutritious, easy-to-make dishes (including dessert!) that showcase a variety of cuisines, including Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry, Mexican Shrimp “Ceviche,” Tuscan Zucchini Soup, Strawberry Ice Cream, Dark Chocolate Silk Pudding, and much more.

 

Dr. Hyman believes the cure for what ails us—both in our bodies and in our nation—can be found in the kitchen. It is a place to rebuild community and connection, strengthen bonds with family and friends, teach life-giving skills to our children, enrich and nourish our bodies and our souls. Think of THE BLOOD SUGAR SOLUTION COOKBOOK as a roadmap to pleasure and health.
