Treat Yourself Healthy
Delicious and comforting guilt-free snacks, sweets, cakes, pies and puddings.
by Bridget Foliaki-Davis
Award-winning author and nutrtionist Bridget Foliaki-Davis’ latest book shows you how to have your cake and eat it! Because diet food sucks, this is not a diet book. This is a book, a roadmap, on how to live. It’s filled with recipes on how to have optimum health, and still enjoy your food and treats while doing so. There is no need to suffer your way through cardboard-tasting gluten-free breads, tasteless sugar-free biscuits or miss out on the food that you love. Foods we remember from our childhood, which make us feel good, such as pavlova, sticky puddings, chocolate chip cookies, apple pie and custard. You don’t have to give up anything to get healthy; rather, you can relearn how to cook, so you can still enjoy these foods using ingredients that support and nurture your body. The worst thing you can do is deny yourself something you want. It only makes that which you deny yourself more desirable. This is not a cookbook about willpower, because willpower will not help you to lose weight, get healthy and stay healthy. Bridget is that rare author – not only does she know what you should be eating, but she also knows how to make it taste amazing. Treat Yourself Healthy shows how it’s possible to eat well yet still enjoy all those healthy treats you can’t give up!
