Are you ready to get started on the path to a happier and healthier and more energetic you?
The new book by the Nutrition Twins (Tammy Lakotos Shames and Lyssie Lakotos), The Veggie Cure, reveals which vegetables help specific health and beauty problems, and provide more than 100 delicious and nutritious recipes to put this "cure" into action on your plate.
Each chapter starts with a goal: more energy, stronger bones, younger-looking skin, improved mood, flatter stomach, etc. In clear, conversational language the authors lay out what veggies will help you to succeed in reaching your goal, why they work, and how to reap their benefits via the delicious recipes available just pages away.
With the advent of the USDA’s new plate graphic (half the plate being fruits and vegetables) supplanting the tired old pyramid, everyone is being urged to eat substantially more vegetables. With this accessible book, readers will be motivated to tailor their menus to their own needs, while at the same time discovering a variety of delicious, easy veggie recipes that their whole family will enjoy... and benefit from.
The book also includes an easy-to-follow menu plan for a 10-day Jumpstart to Health and Weight Loss.
Listen in as Tammy and Lyssie join Dr. Friedman to share tips from their new book.
