Two Great Books for Those of us Interested in Nutrition and the Science of FOOD!!

You may have noticed that I include a good amount of gluten-free recipes and Paleo friendly recipes.  I have become interested in the advantages of eating this way through advice from my friend Jill.  Now you can all learn about the advantages of cutting out gluten and grains in general by reading two books that came out on Amazon this month.  

FIRST

 Farewell Club Perma-Chub

Amazon sums it up best: "Jill Escher takes you on a life-changing journey toward permanent weight loss. After years of yo-yo dieting, she lost 35 pounds by giving up the white stuff and recovering from her sugar and starch addiction. In this book, she gives you all the tools you need to do the same. Get ready to say "Farewell, Club Perma-Chub!"



SECOND 

Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health

Wheat Belly, written by cardiologist William Davis, explains the adverse health effects we experience from wheat consumption.  He also explains how the wheat of today differs greatly from the wheat from 50,100 or 1000 years ago.  He helpfully provides recipes for a truly heart healthy diet and his idea of heart healthy doesn't mean loading up on the whole grains. The subject matter is more for the scientifically inclined mind but Davis writes in a way that makes the intricate science of food and heart health understandable and approachable for everyone. 

 

I hope you enjoy these books as much as I did and look out for recipes inspired by Wheat Belly.
