Review: Are You Nutrient Savvy?: Crave What Your Body Needs Not What It Has Become Addicted To

Are You Nutrient Savvy?: Crave What Your Body Needs Not What It Has Become Addicted To by Paula C. Henderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading this book (Kindle Unlimited) I have found out: 1. I am not nutrient savvy; 2. I have been eating a lot of wrong foods; 3. I need the paperback edition to highlight all the info I need; and 4. this book was not boring like I thought it would be.

Paula Henderson makes a point of waking you up to things you did not know. Like, tomatoes are NOT GOOD for inflamed joints! Never knew that - and I am a big tomato eater. And I have knee pain everyday. A lot I did know like stay away from sugar, carbs and processed foods. Not only does she write about it but she also provides the information in easy-to-read format. (Read in two days) And love where she has blank lists for you to write down information you need.

That is why I will also be purchasing a paperback copy (as soon as it is available) This is one book I will be referring to often - highlighting and writing in it. Because I want to become nutrient savvy. (Stay away from those nightshades!!!!)

Cooking

Growing up I came from a family of cooks.  Mom stayed home while dad worked.  And she cooked, and cooked.  Every Sunday was family dinner and of course, there was always pasta served.  Unfortunately I was never taught to cook.  Or maybe I didnt want to learn...or probably I wouldnt do it right...Either way, by the time I left home, I couldnt boil water....

So the first thing I bought was a cook book (for two) and made some simple things for myself and usually froze any extra I made.  Then I met and married my love, and started a family.  As a stay at home mom also, my family grew and I found myself cooking for five children, three adults (my father inlaw lived with us) and one dog.

But alas they all grew up and now I find myself down to cooking for two again.  So back to simple meals or better yet - going out for dinner or lunch or breakfast.  One of the good things about the empty-nest syndrome is eating out.  I still cook but just not huge meals.  Unless  the whole family is coming over for dinner....guess that is why I love Thanksgiving so much.

Has your meal planning changed in any way?
