Description : Blended Smoothies is a quick start guide to get the fastest results you want. Make a change in diet, lose weight and get healthy. This is a real program made with natural ingredients that are backed by solid nutritional science. These proven meal-replacement smoothie recipes will work with real people. It is easy and possible. Eating behaviour is dictated by a complex interaction between physiology, environment, psychology, culture, socio-economic factors and genetics that are not fully understood. This book provides an overview of a behavioural lifestyle intervention for obesity management along with an energy- and fat-restricted diet and a physical activity prescription that ranges from moderate to vigorous intensity. The main objective of this edition is to focus on macronutrient composition, meal replacements, and more novel dietary approaches such as reducing dietary variety and energy density to help weight loss. Meal replacement dietary prescription is a portion-controlled recipe in a liquid or a solid form. Regardless of the form, meal replacements are a successful tool to promote weight loss. It is considered to be a partial meal replacement prescription because a meal replacement is used for two meals and one meal includes conventional foods as determined by the self. Diets using meal replacements have been used to increase dietary adherence to an energy restricted low-fat diet. One challenge in adherence to any dietary prescription is consuming foods of appropriate portion size to meet the prescribed dietary goals, as weighing and measuring all foods and beverages consumed is burdensome to participants. Here in this book, I have taken utmost care in using meal replacements and assisting with portion control which may increase success at reducing intake to assist in weight loss. Besides, assisting in portion control meal replacements may aid in reducing energy intake by increasing the structure of the diet and enhance the ease of pre-planning meals and snacks – an important behavioural strategy. Followers of this prescription will find significant improvements in physical functioning, general health, vitality, mental health as well as an increased cognitive restraint of eating, reduced disinhibition and reduced hunger with no serious adverse events. Review: I found this wellness diet recipe compilation hugely informative. As a doctor who has been battling weight issues for decades I have tried every diet I could. Finally I realized that it is only a long term sustainable lifestyle modification that works. Substituting a healthy smoothie for a meal is definitely very doable long term for anyone whether a busy professional or work from home adult or teenager. This book guides us from how to choose ingredients to how to blend them and then serve it. Really looking forward to trying these scrumptious blends AND getting healthy. - Dr. Sharon Krishna Rao, Therapeutic Endoscopist, Billroth Hospital, Chennai...

Description : The Paleolithic diet, also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet. It is a modern nutritional diet designed to mimic the diet of wild plants and animals eaten by humans during the Paleolithic era. This translates to more protein and meat, fewer carbohydrates and a diet rich in fiber. The Paleo diet chooses to eliminate dairy products, grains, legumes, processed oils, refined sugar, salt, and many of the popular drinks we consume like coffee & alcohol. In this book we find ways to incorporate the benefits of the Paleo diet into our smoothie recipes. Blending up a Paleo smoothie is a great way to get all of the benefits of nutrition in one high density healthy beverage. Paleo smoothies are inherently healthier than the kind you'll find being sold at smoothie places, or in stores, or that you've seen recipes for online. So grab your blender and this book and lets make some delicious smoothies!...
