Eat with Pleasure

About the Book

We all love to eat yummy foods. But when faced with making healthy food choices, it can often be challenging to choose between what is good—or not so good for us. Thankfully, it is possible to transform our eating habits without depriving ourselves of an occasional treat. Akon Margaret Kalu is a certified nutrition coach who explores her Nigerian heritage to teach anyone to eat with pleasure. After sharing seven tips for healthy eating, Kalu encourages others to indulge in five food groups daily, shares information on her favorite West African dark green vegetables and yam produce, offers advice on portion control, explains the differences between good and bad fats, and details why it is important to buy and cook with whole-food farm produce. Included are instructions on how to reduce caloric intake, curb carbs, and create delicious recipes from leftovers. Eat with Pleasure shares practical advice from a certified nutrition coach that will help anyone make healthy food choices, effectively manage weight, and embrace the joy of eating.
