.more than a hundred delicious recipes for dishes packed with the vitamins . that. may help prevent the effects of aging. -- Fitness magazine, September 2003
From the Author
Preface
Until my last birthday, I never thought about getting older. But suddenly, I needed reading glasses, and missing my one-hour walk meant stiffness in my joints. Who knew this could happen so suddenly? For the most part, I watch what I eat, and I've always been healthy. But I had to admit, I was getting older.
As a chef and dietitian, I've always advocated the preventative powers of food. I truly believed the connection between diet and health encompassed the aging process, so I decided to dig a little deeper. I researched free radicals, antioxidants, degenerative diseases, and more. I discovered that every day, around the world, thousands of scientists are unlocking extraordinary antiaging secrets in the most ordinary foods in our cupboards. From Tokyo to Helsinki and from spinach to nuts, fresh foods are being sliced and diced, mashed and minced, and placed not only on dinner plates, but also under microscopes. And in test tubes all over, the results are surprising and affirming. Food not only has the power to heal; it specifically has the potential to reverse many symptoms of aging. With that in mind, I wrote this book to translate the harvest of research to a feast of delicious recipes.
Stop the Clock! Cooking is an antiaging cookbook. I can't promise this book will prolong your life. But following the recommendations discussed in each chapter can result in benefits such as improvements in vision, memory, digestion, complexion, regularity, weight loss, and just plain old feeling great. It could change your life.
My clients and patients have included royalty and celebrities, men and women, young and old, healthy and ailing. Though they indulged in Stop the Clock! Cooking to varying degrees, they all agree the flavors are a delicious diversion. A wealth of diversity in world cuisine is reflected in the sumptuous recipes that follow. Let's get started on stopping that clock.

The Ultimate Guidebook for Anti-Aging Cooking,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stop The Clock! Cooking: Defy Aging--Eat The Foods You Love (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book because of its intriguing title and appealing cover. I'm sure glad I did. I'm beginning to execute Chef/Nutritionist Forberg's suggestions into my daily life. Not only are her recipes delicious, I feel more energetic---and its only been a few weeks.Who needs botox when berries, beans, greens, fish and other scrumptious natural foods will do the trick!

My New Way of Life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stop The Clock! Cooking: Defy Aging--Eat The Foods You Love (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a fitness professional, and last May I attended a lecture at UCLA on anti-aging foods taught by the author. I loved everything she talked about and immediately ordered her book from Amazon. For the last month I have eaten mainly the foods she extolled (fruits, veggies, nuts, olive oil, fish, soy) and have made many of the recipes in the book. I have never felt better!In fact,I am planning on giving this book to all my training clients for Christmas. Even my husband and teenage kids love most of the recipes. Every recipe has been absolutely delicious and fairly simple to make. You may need to go to a special market that sells organic or ethnic food to buy some of the ingredients rather than find everything at the supermarket, but it's worth it. My only complaint is that she didn't include more recipes using cocoa powder. It has the highest antioxidant rating, yet she features it in only 3 recipes--none of them dessert! I hope Cheryl does a second book. Atkins, shmatkins! This is the way to eat!
