“Two carrots up to Joy for her new book, From Junk Food To Joy Food. These recipes really are amazing and no one dishes them up with more JOY!!”—Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, co-hosts of NBC’s the Today showThink weight loss has to mean saying farewell to all your fattening favorites? French toast? Cinnamon buns? Bacon cheeseburgers? Buffalo wings? What about grilled cheese sandwiches and fettuccine Alfredo? Or pumpkin pie, brownies, and chocolate ice cream? It seems absurd—even unfair—that you should have to drop these from your diet just to drop a few pounds. Well, hang onto your fork…because now you don’t have to give up any of these indulgent dishes!In From Junk Food to Joy Food, New York Times best-selling author and Today show nutritionist Joy Bauer transforms your favorite foods from junky to joyful. Using smart substitutions and innovative combinations, Joy shows you how to preserve taste while cutting calories, fat, sugar, and carbs, so you can enjoy slimmed-down, more nutrient-packed versions of the foods you love. Instead of feeling bloated, heavy, and lethargic, you’ll feel lighter, energized, and healthy. It’s a delicious dream come true!Feeling skeptical about skinny spins of classic dishes like mac and cheese and cheesecake? All the recipes have been tested—and retested—by Joy’s family, friends, and neighbors (and then some). The dishes that made it into this book did so only after they received the coveted two thumbs up from everyone who sampled them—including Joy’s three children and their picky friends. In other words, these recipe re-dos passed with flying colors when compared to their more caloric counterparts. So you can dive right in without an ounce of guilt!With more than 115 recipes covering breakfast to dessert—plus everything in between—From Junk Food to Joy Food will show you that you don’t have to sacrifice taste to eat well. These slimmer spins will leave you feeling and looking great!
Imagine what it would be like if you could eat all the foods you love—from General Tso’s Chicken and Buffalo Wings to Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. But instead of feeling bloated, heavy, and lethargic, you felt light, alive, and healthy. It sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?This dream is, in fact, reality, and New York Times best-selling author Joy Bauer is here to prove it. In From Junk Food to Joy Food, Bauer lays out the secrets to transforming everyone’s favorite comfort foods into healthier versions of themselves—just like she does in her popular segment on the TODAY show. With a few simple tweaks, readers can create sumptuous dishes with the flavors and textures they crave but without the negative side effects. Instead of making them feel tired and weighed down, these foods will help readers lose weight, alleviate arthritis pain, boost energy, enhance heart health, normalize blood pressure, minimize wrinkles, and so much more. Packed with more than 100 recipes and stunning four-color before-and-after food photography, this book presents some of the most delicious (and typically fattening!) meals, snacks, desserts and drinks—but with a healthy twist.So get set to gobble down Chicken Parmesan for dinner and top it off with Boston Cream Pie, and still drop two dress sizes in a few weeks. It’s all possible when you turn your favorite junk food into Joy food.
