Jennifer Workman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 24, 2002

Jennifer Workman is one of the first Western nutritionists to combine cutting edge sports nutrition, complementary medicine, and the basic nutritional principles of Ayurveda -- the 5,000-year-old Eastern medical system -- into a satisfying food and fitness program that helps Americans manage their stress. As founder of The Balanced Approach, a national nutrition and weight-management program that helps people develop a positive relationship with food, Workman has taught countless individuals how to work with their natural cravings (instead of against them) to attain and maintain their ideal weight. Now you can learn the basics of Workman's regimen with:

• Delicious, easy-to-prepare snack ideas and recipes emphasizing organic/sustainable products by top chefs including Alice Waters and Rick Bayless to help satisfy your taste, keep blood sugar balanced, maximize digestion and fat loss

• A metabolic profile to determine your individual needs for organic proteins, non-gluten carbs, and good fats

• Advice on food allergies and sensitivities to wheat gluten, soy, and dairy

• Essential information about the vitamins, minerals, supplements, and herbs that work best for your specific body type

• Fitness recommendations to burn fat, increase lean muscle, and relieve stress, with a special emphasis on the balancing and strengthening powers of yoga

Filled with great-tasting low-calorie/low-carb food suggestions, helpful self-tests, and a complete holistic resource guide, Stop Your Cravings is "an excellent guide for your perfect health" (Dr. Vasant Lad, director of The Ayurvedic Institute).

This review is from: Stop Your Cravings: Satsify Your Tastes Without Sacrificing Your Health (Paperback)

I reiterate my subject line that this book should be in every high school classroom. This book contains knowledge that our youth need to learn before the greed and gluttony of corporate fast food america indocternate their impressionable minds with their filth.
This book offers an excellent review of ayruvedic beliefs of health and wellness. The author's recommendations on food intake and choices are 100% accurate with traditional ayruveda teachings and also add a contemporary spin to these teachings. I strongly suggest anyone serious about learning how to attain a healthier lifestyle read and study this book.
