ChefMDs Big Book of Culinary Medicine A Food Lovers Road Map to Losing Weight Preventing Disease and Getting Really Healthy

What Dr. Andrew Weil is to herbal medicine and Dr. Phil is to TV psychology, Dr. John La Puma is to culinary medicine. At thirty-five, after eating too much of the Standard American Diet (SAD, isn’t it?), Dr. La Puma had become SADly paunchy. So he decided to research the science of nutrition while also going to culinary school to learn to cook. He created the revolutionary new concept of “culinary medicine”–recipes, foods, and meals that prevent or control common health conditions without sacrificing restaurant-quality taste.

Now you can use culinary medicine too. In ChefMD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine, you’ll learn to stock the medicine chest in your kitchen, use the doctor inside of you, and create dishes that give you lifesaving benefits and truly dazzling flavor.

Dr. La Puma serves up a step-by-step eight-week plan to motivate you and help you change your life. Try Saffron Scallop, Shrimp, and Chickpea Paella. Or Sicilian Pasta with Swiss Chard, Goat Cheese, and Basil. Or Spicy and Rich Sausage and Kidney Bean Chili.

Anyone who loves food, wants to have more energy, wants to reverse his or her family health history, or wants to know what to eat to get and stay healthy should read this book. Its recipes, meals, and menus can work within minutes of eating them.

Experience food you can’t wait to make, and grab the energy and good health to reclaim your life.

2 Stars so-so
The information on the benefits of various foods is interesting. The Recipes, however call for a lot of fancy ingredients I can’t get. So they’re mostly useless unless you live in a big city near an up-scale food market.

5 Stars great reference
My daughter gave me this book for my birthday after she had heard him speak. I suffer from psoriasis and osteoporosis and am interested in anything that will alleviate some/all of my symptoms. I actually read this “cookbook” from cover to cover and use it often. The only thing that would have made it perfect would be a spiral binding!

5 Stars healthy eating
i LOVE this book. it’s brought me to healthy eating and to knowing WHY i’m doing it. i’ve also lost 15 pounds just by eating good- for- me foods. thank you, dr. la puma.

4 Stars Good info…difficult recipes
This is the first of his books I have purchased. The general information in it is excellent. I found most of the recipes to be too complicated and contain ingredients I don’t normally have on hand.

3 Stars md medicine
like so many other diets, this one promises miracles

ever since hippocrates people have been trying to heal diseases with food. It only works with certain ones.

This one had such great potential, and i am a little disapointed in it.

5 Stars This is actually working for me!
I decided to try a diet for the first time in my life when I lost the baby weight I had put on, then gained it all back by the time my son was 8 months old. Also, I have been trying to feed my son healthy foods, and noticed that I was often not eating healthy food myself. My father in law had sucess with his diet the year before, so I thought I would try it. So far I have lost 27 pounds in 5 months (11 lbs. in the first 2 weeks), and generally loose one pound a week, even when I feel I have strayed (like at a party or wedding). I already lost the weight I had put on, and am continuing with it to get down to a healthier weight for myself. Plus, now I can fit back into my jeans that I had packed away even beore I got pregnant. Once I got used to the food guidelines, I have found it easy to stay on track, and can alter many of our usual meals to fit the guidelines. I see this as a change in the way I eat, not just a way to loose some weight, then gain it back again.
