Whole Foods Diet Cookbook

By Andrew Larson and Ivy Ingram Larson

Book Overview

For people who are tired of counting calories, carbs, fats, and points . . .

. . . This book makes nutrition count instead. Whole foods are nutrient-rich foods-those foods that offer a complete balance in nutritional value while in their natural, unrefined, unprocessed state. They are high in antioxidants, phytochemicals, and essential fats and oils, and low in saturated fats and sugar.

Whole Foods Diet Cookbook includes chapters to educate the reader, and plenty of delicious menus for every occasion. It provides a three-prong culinary approach to healthy living, weight loss, and disease and illness prevention.

Ivy Larson is a certified health fitness instructor. She teaches cooking classes throughout the Palm Beach area and also conducts "Eight-Week Lifestyle Makeover" programs at wellness facilities in south Florida.

Andrew Larson, MD, is a board-certified general surgeon with special interests in surgical nutrition. The couple lives in Jupiter, Florida.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful book

I dearly love this book. It is well written and contains recipes that make it easy for anyone to follow this diet. The food is DELICIOUS and the recipes are practical! THANK YOU, IVY!

Healthy eating that tastes good!

The first 90 pages would make the price paid well worth it! The book lays out principles on nutrition that are easily understood and there is no counting, weighing or measuring. The recipes are also great. A cook book we men can fallow.

Awesome!

This book, like the Larsons' earlier books, makes healthy living doable for the average, busy person with a budget. Well done!

Yummy and good for you!

The recipes really are wonderful and make eating right (or better) easy for the average cook.

Great Recipes

This book is more than a cookbook. It's more like a health book with recipes. With the guidelines the authors provide, an individual should be able to know which recipes out there are healthy, or modify existing recipes to make them healthier. I've only tried one recipe so far, but it was good and the others seem delicious as well. And what makes this book different from other health food cookbooks is that it provides healthy recipes for special occasions such as St. Patrick's Day and Thanksgiving. I don't think the authors had any control over this, but the only thing I would change is I would add pictures of the finished meals. It would help visual people like me.
