Healthy Lifestyle Choices
4 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
The Whole Grain Diet Miracle is a good introduction to whole grains. If you want to control your weight, reduce the risk of serious illness and lower your blood pressure, then this book gives you the basics for a healthy lifestyle. The grains discussed include: Amaranth, Barley, Buckwheat, Corn, Kamut, Millet, Oats, Quinoa, Rice, Rye, Sorghum, Spelt, Teff, Triticale, Wheat and Farro.
Throughout the book the authors explain how to buy, store and cook each grain. They also explain why you get more vitamins from whole grains. For the first third of the book the authors also spend time convincing you of needed lifestyle changes. Unlike other books I've read on this subject, they still allow you to use sugar in your recipes.
It is good to know that if you are eating oats and two pieces of whole wheat bread you are on your way to a healthier lifestyle. However, this book also has fifty unique recipes to choose from. There are also weight loss menus for six weeks.
Some of the recipes include:
Amaranth Chicken Salad with Tarragon and Almonds
Barley and Mushroom Soup with Zucchini
Hearty Millet and Butternut Squash Soup
Cornmeal-Crusted Oven-Fried Chicken Fingers
Barley with Leeks and Fennel
While this book has detailed information and recipes, you can also use the list of whole grains to select healthier choices at the grocery store. You may want to look for puffed cereals and soups in the healthy foods section or health food store. Some grains take a long time to cook and therefore may be easier to eat when they have already been prepared. I've found these grains to be quite easy to find in the grocery store and especially at the health food store.

Good book

I have always eaten whole grains and followed a whole grain/low sugar diet. I bought this book thinking it may have some new recipes and ideas. There were a couple of things I found that I wasn't aware of, but all in all it was just a review for me. This being said, it is a great book for anyone who wants to start out on a healthier diet of whole grains, and it does work! You have to love the less refined taste of whole grains to stay on it long term, but even if you just added more whole grains to the diet you are used to now it is an improvement from a all "white diet." (processed foods)
In my opinion, this book provides a lot of information and is a great aid in beginning a whole grain diet.
