PlantsPlus - Eating for Life



The PlantPlus Diet Solution: Personalized Nutrition for LifeJoan Borysenko
 
If you are confused about all of the mixed information regarding healthy eating and weight loss, then this is the book for you!  The author – Joan Borysenko – is a Scientist (Cell Biologist) and also a Health Psychologist.  Joan Borysenko does an excellent of explaining how fats, protein, and carbohydrates are digested differently by different people, and why.  Joan has a vast knowledge of nutrition and she writes in a way that is easy to understand and she provides links to documents, videos, and web sites that provide further information on the concepts that she is explaining.

The PlantsPlus diet backbone is vegetables, & fruits, and the plus is grains, carbohydrates, dairy, and meat.  Joan firmly believes that there is not any one single diet that works for everyone.  Some individuals are gluten sensitive, while others are lactose intolerant, and list just continues.  Joan suggest that everyone needs to be their “lab rat” and discover which plus foods are best for them and really  focus on how they feel when eating various foods.  For example:   After I eat a large plate of pasta, it taste great, however, a few hours later I start feeling bloated, tired and my stomach gets upset.  The first time that this happened I thought that I just got a touch of a stomach bug.  Then a few weeks later I ate a similar meal and I felt the same way.  After reading PlantsPlus I now understand that I am gluten sensitive and I need to limit these types of foods.

I truly believe that if you focus on eating whole foods and limit processed foods as PlantsPlus advocates then you will achieve your weight loss goals and you will feel amazing.

I received PlantsPlus by Joan Borysenko  for free from Hay House Publishing for review purposes.  I was not financially compensated for this post. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
