My June Book reads....
Eat to Live -Joel Fuhrman, M.D
The pH Miracle-Robert O. Young & Shelley Redford Young
Engine 2 Diet-Rip Esselstyn
Deliciously G-Free-Elisabeth Hasselbeck
EAT TO LIVE offers a highly effective, scientifically proven way to lose
weight quickly. The key to Dr. Joel Fuhrman's revolutionary six-week
plan is simple: health = nutrients / calories. When the ratio of
nutrients to calories in the food you eat is high, you lose weight. The
more nutrient-dense food you eat, the less you crave fat, sweets, and
high-caloric foods.
EAT TO LIVE has been revised to include inspiring success stories from
people who have used the program to lose shockingly large amounts of
weight and recover from life-threatening illnesses; Dr. Fuhrman's
nutrient density index; up-to-date scientific research supporting the
principles behind Dr. Fuhrman's plan; new recipes and meal ideas; and
much more. This easy-to-follow, nutritionally sound diet can help anyone
shed pounds quickly-and keep them off.
This terrific book will inspire all who read it to change their lives
and optimize their health." -Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor,
seven-time Tour de France champion
Lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce the risk of
disease, and become physically fit--in just 4 weeks.
Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is used to
responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that some of his fellow
Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX, were in dire physical
condition-several had dangerously high cholesterol levels (the highest
was 344!)-he sprang into action and created a life-saving plan for the
firehouse. By following Rip's program, everyone lost weight (some more
than 20 lbs.), lowered their cholesterol (Mr. 344's dropped to 196), and
improved their overall health. Now, Rip outlines his proven plan in
this book. With Rip as your expert coach and motivator, you'll transform
your body and lifestyle in a month. His plant-powered eating plan is
based on a diet of whole foods, including whole grains, fresh fruits,
vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This invaluable guide features:
**Dozens of easy, mouthwatering recipes-from pancakes to pizza, Tex-Mex
favorites to knockout chocolate desserts-that will keep you looking
forward to every bite **Pantry-stocking tips will take the panic out of
inevitable cravings and on-the-fly meals **Guidelines on menu choices
that will allow you to eat out, wherever and whenever you want **Rip's
simple, firefighter-inspired exercise program that will boost your
metabolism and melt your fat away.
Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly effective," " this

"Want to be as strong as a Texas firefighter? Or as healthy as a

Esselstyn, who is both. His book can save your life--whether you're a
man or a woman. Highly recommended!" -Dean Ornish, M.D., Founder and

From the author of "The G-Free Diet "and the co-host of ABC's "The View
"comes a vital book about scrumptiously satisfying gluten-free
food--with easy-to-follow recipes, healthy tips, and full-color
photographs throughout--for families managing celiac disease as well as
anyone who is concerned about their intake of wheat and other grains.
Growing up in a home where everyone came together at the dinner table,
Elizabeth Hasselbeck savored the signature meatball, lasagna, and ziti
dishes of her grandmother and great-grandmother, and the pierogies of
her father's heritage. But a decade ago, the Emmy Award-winning co-host
of "The View, New York Times" bestselling author, and mother of three
was diagnosed with celiac disease, and the family recipes she grew up
suddenly became strictly off-limits. Or so she thought.
Getting rid of gluten, however, doesn't have to mean giving up taste.
"Deliciously G-Free" combines Hasselbeck's knowledge for healthy living
and passion for tasty food to bring you 100 delectable, easy-to-make,
and family-friendly gluten-free recipes. By adding a variety of other
ingredients to the fridge and pantry, she's perfected scrumptious
zero-gluten versions of old standards and new creations that would make
her relatives proud, including
- Breakfasts to Remember: Egg Sandwiches, Coconut Raspberry Muffins,
French Toast with Caramel Rum Banana, Biscuits, Frittata
- All-Star Appetizers: Pork Pot Stickers, Stuffed Mushrooms, Smoked
Salmon on Corn Fritters, Crab Cakes with Homemade Tartar Sauce, and Hot
Artichoke Dip
- Mouth-Watering Main Meals: Chicken Enchiladas, Quinoa Cornbread, Mac
and Cheese, Lasagna, Pad Thai, Chimichurri Flank Steak, and Buttermilk
Chicken
- Deliciously Irresistible Desserts: Chocolista Chocolate Cupcakes,
Blueberry Raspberry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Tiramisu, Birthday
Cakes, and Double Chocolate Brownies
Loaded with gorgeous color photos, " Deliciously G-Free" also satisfies
your taste buds with ideas for gourmet entertaining, kid-friendly
concoctions, cool-weather comfort foods, and "Get Fit" G-Free recipes.
Plus, Hasselbeck opens up about her own gluten-free journey--from
getting diagnosed to getting her family on board--and shares tips for
how to stock your kitchen, prevent cross-contamination, and whip up
G-Free flour mixes that literally take the cake.
