Joyous Health: Eat And Live Well Without Dieting

Great recipes, easy to read, and really inspiring to get on the track to good health. With these recipes, you will not crave sugar, you will be satisfied because every recipe is so delicious. You will not feel like you are depriving yourself, and that makes it a sustainable healthy diet . Every recipe is quick and easy and most importantly: delicious. I bought this book for other family members because it is so good.

Eating well is a tough job given all the horrible food choices EVEYWHERE and the conflicting information regarding what the good choices are. Joy McCarthy brings her real knowledge of nutrition backed by education together with a personal history of food issues to address what it takes to eat well and be well. The book is easily read but packed with science based research and fact. She makes things simple and stress free. A chapter on what foods to ditch and why, followed by a chapter on the super foods and 5 super-joyous lifestyle habits. It is chock full of really tasty, easy, and super healthy recipes using all her nutritional expertise and skill in the kitchen. This is my new favorite book and will be a gift for a couple of friends.

A wonderful book to own! The information is great. This book is so nice to read! It's not just words on a page- the advice is solid- the message is both encouraging and empowering. (The pages are pretty too)It not often I would make a comment on the book itself but I like the look and positive energy of this book!It's wonderful to have food, nutrition, & health information on hand thats easy to read & understand.

While Joy herself is adorable and the first part of the books is excellent!!! and SO inspiring, I think the section with recipes is very lacking in meals that have any satisfaction...I could only find two "dinner" type recipes my family would eat. Its great for smoothies and very light breakfasts or lunches, but not "real" meals. It is heavy on recipes for deserts. 4 stars just for the great research up front. It changed the way I look at food. Burgers and fries are a distant memory.

This is a fantastic introduction to health living and eating. The book has great and easy to make recipes, meal plans, information on chemicals in beauty products and much more. The book has attractive photos and a cute layout. Joy is fabulous and I'm becoming a big fan down here in New Zealand. I highly recommend it.

What is in this book is a treasure trove of great recipes and useful advice, for anyone looking to feel great, eat healthy, and look good doing it. The ingredients are easy to find...at a natural foods store and/or this thing called the WORLD WIDE WEB, for anyone who can't find what you need. Try it out and feel great.

My daughter bought this book for her medical library. She is studying to be a certified holistic nutritionist and LOVES this book! She's already made several of the recipes and not one has failed - delicious, nutritious, easy, and fun foods! Fabulous book! Thank you.

One of my favorite books! I love all the recipes, and all of the great knowledge and tips Joy shares. Can’t wait to buy her other books!

Ich war mir zunächst nicht sicher ob dieses Buch mich in meinen Kochkünsten weiterbringt, zumal ich meist nicht immer alle Rezepte mag. Ich wurde eines Besseren belehrt. Dieses Kochbuch hat nicht nur super leckere Rezepte, Joy McCarthy erklärt auch einen Menge interessante Fakten zum Thema Ernährung inklusive der Funktion der verschiedensten Organe. Viele werden jetzt sagen, dass sie keine Lust haben, diese Texte komplett durchzulesen, allerdings schreibt Joy die Texte so interessant, dass ich gar nicht mehr aufhörten konnte zu lesen. Ein wirklich guter Ratgeber und ich bereue es keine Sekunde, dieses Buch bestellt zu haben.

I was so excited to receive this stunning book. "Joyous Health" has turned out to be the perfect new year, new me addition to my life. I have been looking for a "lifestyle" book that offers both clean eating, healthy lifestyle tips as well as simple and yummy recipes that cater to someone who doesn't live around the corner from a 'specialty foods' shop. The recipes are not only easy to do (beet/goat cheese dip - yuuumm!!) but also deliciously nutritious! This combination is hard to find. Not only does Joy offer stunning pictures to go along with recipes, but she also gives nutritious tips, ideas and personal anecdotes. The ingredients are affordable and simple to incorporate into my grocery shopping list and as a Mom of 2 little ones, that makes a difference in so many ways. I can't wait to try more recipes and read further into the lifestyle section - which is page after page of information- written in a fun and engaging way. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who wants to make or continue to make that important healthy shift in their lives but in a gentle, uncomplicated way.

excellent book one of the best ive purchased in a long time. very informative.will get plenty of use.

This book has two parts: first some nutritional information to help us understand how our body works and why food is so important. The second part has recipes. The whole book is lovely done, well structured, easy to read and the recipes are delicious.
