30 Days of Whole Foods: Healthy and Delicious Recipes for a New and Revitalized You
When you flip your boxed food over, are you shocked by the number of ingredients you find on the back? What’s more, how many of them do you actually recognize?Processed food is causing an epidemic that affects everyone around the world. Every day, food manufacturers are altering our food to be bigger, taste “better”, and stay fresh longer. While these things sound good from the outside, the world is becoming well aware of what they’re doing to our insides. Most food today is so stripped down of its natural vitamins that it shouldn’t even be considered food. Not to mention, it’s also pumped with add-ins that are causing a long list of scary health problems to anyone who goes near them. When we eat these kinds of food, we are prone to develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and cancer along with many other fatal diseases. It’s time we put our foot down to the problem. It all starts with food… And not just any food, but whole food. This includes succulent fruit, crisp veggies, savory whole grains, creamy full-fat milk, and tender grass-fed meat. And sticking to this sort of thing really isn’t as hard as you’ve been told. Let me be your guide to a healthier, happier life with this comprehensive cookbook. You will be introduced to all the ins and outs of whole foods eating, and if you’re up for it, a 30 day whole foods challenge. But I’m sure you’ll find it’s not so much a challenge as a life-changing experiment… To aid you with this food challenge, the book will provide you with recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and snacks. Here are a few Skillet PancakesPad ThaiProsciutto-Wrapped Frittata MuffinsZesty Chicken NuggetsMeat Lover’s ChiliShrimp & Sausage JambalayaBeef JerkyTaco SaladStrawberry-Pineapple Ice Pops… and many more!You’ll also find recipes for things like ranch dressing and mayonnaise. 30 days with this book will give you everything you need to create a new and improved way of life. After just 30 days, whole food will boost both the energy and immune system of your family, not to mention reduce your risk of developing cancer and heart disease! And the benefits will reach farther than the walls of your own home… The rest of the world will thank you, too! Eating whole food promotes animal welfare and ensures a better world for future generations. Your grandchildren will certainly be grateful you decided to give the whole foods a 30-day trial run. But I warn you, this decision will probably stick with you for much longer than 30 days. The fresh taste of whole food just can’t be beat. You’ll never want to go back to the processed stuff ever again! So, let’s get you feeling good, looking good, and doing good – all while you eat food you absolutely love!

Please note: I was given a copy of this book and have voluntarily decided to give it this honest review.
This cookbook, 30 Days of Whole Foods, introduces the idea of using whole foods in our diet. Whole foods are those foods that don’t contain artificial processing, chemicals, and preservatives. Eating whole foods will result in better nutrition, improved digestion, and more energy. The author suggests that you try to maintain a whole food diet for thirty days in order to see these improvements and to see it this food plan is right for you. The author then lists various recipes that are grouped in chapters: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Condiments & Dressings, Sweet & Salty Snacks, and Not-Skimpy Salads.
Reading the first seven chapters of the book, where the history of the idea of whole foods, as well as the explanation of the various health benefits, was a surprisingly quick and interesting read. Not boring at all!
The recipes were clearly written with the nutritional information at the end of the recipes. One complaint I have is that there are no photographs of the foods. A recipe gets my interest from the name and photograph. There were many recipes that I would be interested in making and that didn’t require unusual ingredients that are not found in my refrigerator or pantry.
I gave this book four out of five stars. The reason for this score is that the cookbook didn’t include any photographs of the finished recipes.

30 Days of Whole Food: 120 Irresistible and Healthy Recipes - A 30 Day Whole Food Challenge That Will Help You Lose Weight, Boost Your Metabolism, and Prevent Disease by Vanessa Olsen
This book starts out with a table of contents where recipes are broken up into meals.
Free gift offer and then an inroduction about what whole foods are and history of why foods are so processed these days.
Nutritional information about which vitamins whole foods contain, natrually.
Breaks up the food into groups of things you should be buying. So much more info listed.
Recipes include a title, servings, time to make and a summary of the dish.
List of ingredients and how to make it and cook it.
Nutritional info per servings size listed are calories, protein, carbs, fat-NOT broken up into good or bad and fiber. Sodium is not listed.
There are no pictures. I would also substitute eggs for liquid ones and make sure to get low fat low sodium ham, products etc in some of the recipes for our healthier dietary needs.
Each recipe does NOT start at the top of a new page. For chili I would defintely use fresh tomatoes and dice them myself-we don't need the added sodium in the canned product.
For any of the broth we'd also use low fat/low sodium variety.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.

Not Vegan or vegetarian
This book was listed as a Vegan/vegetarian cookbook. It isn’t! It should not have been listed as such. There are many, many recipes for meat

Great Recipes
The recipes have variety and this seems easy to follow. There was good information without getting so in-depth that one would be bored.
