Take Two Apples and Call Me in the Morning

Judy Stone helps you understand the science behind food and our bodies and how they affect one another. One thing is for sure - you'll never touch margarine again after reading this book! Judy gives the reader a wealth of information in a very easy to read format and lots of fabulous recipes and menu plans to help the reader eat and feel better. I haven't tried all the recipes yet but so far my favorite is a toss up between the Italian Turkey Sausage and Tomato Stew and Spicy Meatball Mambo. This book needs to be in your kitchen.

Before reading Take Two Apples and Call Me in the Morning, I was recovering from heart surgery and had gained fifty pounds. I tried to follow a low-fat diet, but I was always hungry for a carbo binge, and was on the verge of gaining more weight. Low energy, poor sleep, aching joints, and itchy skin made me miserable and grouchy. What a revelation this book was! Adding fat in the form of olive oil, butter, and flax oil to my diet, eliminating wheat/sugar products, and eating protein with veggies for meals and snacks was the key to improved health. Judy Stone clearly and thoroughly instructs the reader to throw out the legalism of all those other "diets" and to eat the food your body needs to heal itself and maintain health. Do you want strong bones, supple skin, strong hair and nails, energy, a feeling of not being hungry between meals? Get this book. Julia Hanawalt

I've read many of the low carb books (Atkins, Eades, Heller, Zone etc.) and this one is different. First, it's got lots of health info that the others don't have or may only touch on. Second, it makes the science/medical stuff about the body super easy to understand and interesting to read. And third, it has a very positive, supportive tone for people who are trying to change, and lays things out in easy to follow steps instead of asking you to change everything at once. It also addresses the psychology of making changes and not just the food part. I'd recommend this book for anyone who was new to cutting carbs or an old hand at it. Also, it's got some great recipes--a great BBQ sauce, lots of main dishes that aren't heavy on the cream and butter,and others I haven't tried yet that look good. I'm a personal trainer and I've recommended this book to all my clients.
