The Eating for Recovery: The Essential Nutrition Plan to Reverse the Physical Damage of Alcoholism Review

The Eating for Recovery: The Essential Nutrition Plan to Reverse the Physical Damage of Alcoholism
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book provides succinct and graphic descriptions of the physical consequences of alcohol abuse. The book also offers the hopeful prospect that the alcohol-afflicted individual may not be too late to take remedial action.
In my own case, I was already experiencing worrisome physical symptoms. As soon as I began browsing through the book, I could see what lay ahead for me. I immediately stopped my alcohol use and have adopted a firm resolve to remain abstinent for the remainder of my life.
I am continuing to read small segments of the book daily and making changes in my diet that will assist my body's recovery.

The Weeknight Survival Cookbook: How to Make Healthy Meals in 10 Minutes Review

The Weeknight Survival Cookbook: How to Make Healthy Meals in 10 Minutes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very pleased with this book: it is simple, the recipes can easily be modified, and best of all: there are shopping lists. I find that a large part of my meal executing woes are caused by not having time to plan and make lists. The foods are very middle of the road: not too gourmet, not too many processed foods. A couple meals a week are vegetarian, but carb watchers can add a fish fillet or chicken or something to the meal easily. Lots of veggies are included too. After purchasing a similar book that ended up suggesting I make "duck tacos" this book is a winner. Tip: take it to an office supply store and have the cover laminated and have it spiral-bound for easy use.

I bought these books about a month ago and am absolutely delighted with them. The recipe's are easy and delicious. I've only tried 6 or 7 of the recipe's so far and have not been disappointed yet. The Meatballs are delicious, as is the Moussaka. Well Done Jeanette. When is the next book due.

The 1500-Calorie-a-Day Cookbook Review

The 1500-Calorie-a-Day Cookbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Everything the first cookbook, The 1200-Calorie-a-Day Menu Cookbook : Quick and Easy Recipes for Delicious Low-fat Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, and Desserts wanted to be and wasn't. Don't get me wrong; it was fine for its time. This book is just plain better.
Updated recipes with 9 or fewer ingredients and less reliability on fat-free, chemical-laden frankenfoods. (Although there are some!)
The entire meal takes less than 30 minutes--the whole menu complete on one page. Calorie count and other nutritional information provided for each recipe/menu including identifying menus higher in fiber, vitamins A & C, and calcium.
I made the Creamy Pumpkin Pie dip for our dance troupe hafla and it was a big hit! Nothing to take home.
She doesn't provide grocery lists. That will depend on what menus you choose. But, she does offer a brief nutritional introduction (just enough to keep your eyes from glazing over)and suggestions for what to do with leftovers. I'm all about freezing extra portions for later so I don't mind a recipe that serves 4-6.
Those who've read some of my other review will note that I'm a BIG fan of mix and match diet cookbooks. If I was going to buy a companion volume, I'd choose The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook
