Book Description

November 1, 1999
If you thought there was nothing funny about the weight gain of menopause, wait until you read Larrian Gillespie's The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook. Based upon her own research as a physician who dealt with women's health, she has put together a humorous yet quick and easy cookbook as the companion to her ground-breaking health book, "The Menopause Diet." Recognizing that over 50% of women entering menopause are overweight and at risk for heart disease, diabetes and strokes, Larrian has combed the scientific literature to unravel the mystery of why women gain and lose weight differently than men and developed 135 recipes or "mini meals" for women who love to eat their way to a healthy life.

The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook includes a unique chapter explaining the medical benefits of including certain foods and spices in your diet and explains why women may be digging their graves with their teeth when they eat a high-glycemic carbohydrate, low protein diet. With more than 5000 women entering menopause daily, Larrian's books offer a lifestyle that improves your chances of living to 100 without the disability brought on by heart disease,diabetes and high blood pressure- all by making food your home pharmacy.

About the Author

Larrian Gillespie received her medical degree from the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine and became the first woman to graduate from their prestigious Urology program, an accomplishment that earned her the featured cover story in Parade Magazine.

Over the next fifteen years, as a private practitioner, she brought about public awareness of an overlooked medical condition, interstitial cystitis, which resulted in three pharmaceutical patents from her pioneering research.

Her book, You Dont Have to Live With Cystitis has been a "Top Ten Best Seller" on womens health according to the New York Review of Books Readers Catalog, 1999.

A frequent lecturer at international medical meetings, Larrian taught her colleagues how to diagnose and treat this "incurable" condition, through her more than 30 scientific articles and chapters in medical textbooks.

With an ability to translate "doctor speak" into terms anyone can understand, Larrian has been featured in over 50 magazine stories and numerous television shows, including Good Morning America and CNN. She has served on the medical advisory board of SHAPE Magazine and been a frequent source for numerous other publications.

Changing careers in 1995, Larrian has focused on the issues of womens health as they relate to diet. Her interest in cooking and nutrition, nourished by courses at Londons Cordon Bleu and La Varenne in Paris, has resulted in her current books, "The Menopause Diet" and "The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook," which are destined to join her other book in becoming "Best Sellers."

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Recipes and a diet that WORKS!, March 8, 2002
This review is from: The Menopause Diet: Mini Meal Cookbook- Good Food for Real Women, Naturally (Paperback)
The Menopause Diet Mini-Meal Cookbook is the companion book to The Menopause Diet. While Dr. Gillespie sets forth the "whys" of mid-life belly fat in The Menopause Diet and gives the reader guidelines for a diet that will take off weight, the Mini-Meal Cookbook gives sample daily menus and GREAT recipes. Dr. Gillespie shows her extensive cooking background in these recipes, which use no convenience products and lots of fresh, interesting ingredients. The Menopause Diet is a lifestyle diet, not a quick fix. In giving readers a diet plan that works and giving recipes that are healthy, flavorful and satisfying to boot, Dr. Gillespie is giving us the tools to conquer mid-life spread. The lemon-tarragon Chicken, The Bahian Black Bean Chili, the Tu Tu Tun Lodge Grilled Salmon, and all the omelets are great--tonight I am making the Zucchini Noodles! Who needs pasta??

4.0 out of 5 stars Cooking with the Goddesses, May 9, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Menopause Diet: Mini Meal Cookbook- Good Food for Real Women, Naturally (Paperback)
I'm no cooking Goddess, but these recipes make dinner guests sing my praises! I've had 2 recent dinner parties and served several recipes from this book. Both meals got rave reviews from all - especially the MEN! The cookbook supports the excellent food plan, yet can stand alone for anyone who wants to try eating healthy-low carbohydrate. My husband is following the Atkins plan, yet prefers these recipes to stay within his diet. The recipes are easy to follow with most requiring only one or 2 steps to a complete entree. I've served the salmon, thyme chicken, and grilled asparagus to guests and made the chicken salad for myself for lunch. I especially like Gillian Anderson's apple snack idea - there's no X-File about any of this!
