Healthy Eating Cookbook with Daily Menus

With a little planning, healthier eating is never impossible. The current diet of many North Americans includes many convenience foods. Convenience foods unfortunately may be filled with refined and processed food, additives and preservatives that rob whole foods of their nutrients.

When I was working on my dessert recipes, I didn’t realize how much sugar it took to make them sweet. The carbohydrates and calories were remarkably reduced just by reducing the amount of sugar used in the recipes. I used natural sweeteners as much as possible in the recipes, such as fruit, grains and vegetables. If need be, use molasses, honey or reduced apple juice to sweeten your recipes.

I am working on a healthy eating cookbook. The recipes are free of dairy, gluten, yeast, citrus and red meat. In my healthy recipes I have lowered the level of fat, sugar, salt and the decreased the portions sizes all things that will help in keeping you at your optimum healthy weight.

With the rising risks to our health, for example, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, it only makes sense to live a healthier lifestyle. The recipes include commonly accessible food such as local organically grown produce and nutrient rich foods that may not be produced locally, but are an excellent addition to a healthy diet, for example, soy bean products. The menus in this cookbook help you keep your body nourished with all the correct proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.
