was created by Sophie Uliano, who has appeared on Oprah and Good Morning America and is the author of the New York Times Bestseller, Gorgeously Green. In her latest book Uliano explains how you can enjoy healthy food, lose weight, and save money while protecting the planet.
According to Uliano a natural diet based on organic foods is vitally important for losing weight and staying healthy. She says, “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.”
gorgeously-green-diet The main concept of the Gorgeously Green Diet is that you should select food on the basis of its quality rather than its content of calories or carbohydrates. Additionally you are encouraged to look beyond a food’s convenience and to consider the health implications and environmental impact of your dietary choices.
Three different eating plans are provided in the book so that you can change your diet at a pace that works for you. Uliano offers beginner, intermediate and advanced programs, each of which includes a week of menu suggestions.
Organic foods are advocated and Uliano presents examples of organic meals that cost as little as five dollars to prepare. Readers are also encouraged to select local and seasonally produced food whenever possible
In addition to dietary information the Gorgeously Green Diet includes instructions on how to make your own natural, inexpensive skin care and cleaning products, as well as gardening and recycling tips.
