Synopsis
Perfect for Earth Day: The bestselling author of
Gorgeously Green returns
with a simple—and budget-conscious—plan for waist
management.
Green guru and ecolicious consultant Sophie
Uliano has appeared on
Oprah, Good Morning America, The View, and other national
television
shows; her first book, Gorgeously Green, is a New York
Times
bestseller.
And now, with The Gorgeously Green Diet, Sophie shows how
to love
food, live healthily, lose weight, and save money and the
planet.
Uliano offers three different lean and green eating plans—Light
Green,
Bright Green, and Deep Green. Each offers a cornucopia of the
healthiest
and most gorgeous food you’ve ever eaten as well as the secret to
being healthy and staying that way. You’ll learn how to reduce
your impact
on the environment by following the plan and how the Gorgeously
Green Diet will improve your overall health. There are money-
saving
tips, including how to cook a healthy organic meal for five on
less than
it would cost to eat at Burger King, as well as nearly one hundred
recipes
and a gentle exercise plan. Readers
can take the pledge to become green and lean, ask questions, and
get
support. This is the celebration of food, the planet, and healthy
bodies
that Sophie’s many fans have been waiting for.

August 01, 2009: This book has some good information. The format is not consistent which bothers me. Some of the recipes are unclear. A lot of the info is a repeat from her first book. The book I recommend below is much more scientific and accurate

April 18, 2009: There is a lot of information in Gorgeously green Diet about healthy eating and it is useful for those people used to eating processed food. Uliano, who wrote Gorgeously Green and appeared on Oprah, writes: "Unless the food you eat is minimally processed and packaged, unless its Gorgeously Green--it is likely to be lacking in vitamins and loaded with toxins that could inhibit metabolism and lead to obesity."
Uliano discusses how making even small changes in ones diet can help impact the health of the planet. She advocates "moderation," and tells the reader that she is a flexatarian.She offers three diets in different shades of green--light, medium and dark. Each diet covers a week's worth of menus.There is a section on composting and gardening.According to Uliano, a 2007 Cornell University study showed that an all vegan diet had more effect on the planet than a diet containing a daily 2 ounce serving of meat.The book outlines how to select the best types of food--grass fed beef, vs. feedlot, for example. This is very useful for newbies and she covers virtually all choices.Suggestions are made on how to pick food at a restaurant and include a variety of places.She suggests what to get rid of in the pantry and what to stock.There was a chapter on cooking the basics likes stocks tomato sauce--all perfect for beginners.There is a section on fitness, beauty & health and what vitamins to take.One chapter was on inviting your dream guests for dinner--I found it bizarre--and her list included Shakespeare, Jesus, Julia Roberts and Oprah. Somehow, can't see that group together...There is a nice sized section of recipes. The book concludes with resources on where to find food that Uliano likes and it is quite helpful for those unaccustomed to grocery shopping outside the traditional stores.I do question her authority on some of the statements she makes, as she is neither a doctor nor a nutritionist,but her diet recommendations seem fine and are certainly not extreme.Uliano covers a lot of ground in this book on food and recipes. I would like to recommend a couple other books to supplement:For 100's of vegetarian recipes, award winner,VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR EVERYONEFor growing your own, THE VEGGIE GARDENER'S ANSWER BOOKTo green & make gorgeous your home, award winner, HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT BEAUTIFY, DETOXIFY & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME & YOUR PLANETFor do it your selfers, ORGANIC BODY CARE PRODUCTSI Also Recommend: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Harmonious Environment, Green Guide, Organic Body Care Recipes, The Veggie Gardener's Answer Book.
