Nutritious and Delicious

Being on a diet can make anyone miserable. But this book changes everything. NUTRITIOUS and DELICIOUS has the best ideas for enjoying your favorite foods from “pasta” to “Oreo Cookies” without the extra guilt. 
Maria Emmerich is a wellness expert that has lost a large amount of weight herself by adapting her favorite foods to healthier options. Find out how to lower calories and carbohydrates and still indulge in decadent foods like macaroni and cheese. 
You will learn the newest cutting-edge information and a wealth of secrets that will shift your weight loss out of idle and into high gear. Discover why a breakfast of cereal and skim milk is stalling your weight loss goals. Deprivation diets are not the key to weight loss; we need to balance our biochemistry with specific food to optimize our metabolism. Maria’s diet and recipe secrets have been featured on multiple TV shows, radio programs, and magazine articles. (Thanks to Jamie Schultz for designing my beautiful new cover).

Secrets to Controlling Your Weight, Cravings and Mood

Before Maria’s passion for nutrition, she had a passion for donuts. She was an athlete and thought she could get away with eating what she wanted, as long as she worked out. NOT TRUE. Even though she ate enough calories, she was starving herself, specifically, she was starving her brain. Her stomach was filled with “substance” but her brain kept telling her to eat; our bodies are smart, they make us crave certain nutrients we need. For 90% of dieters, a deficiency in one of four essential brain chemicals can cause weight gain, fatigue, and stress. The solution to losing weight doesn’t lie in deprivation diets; it lies in balancing our neurotransmitters. 
1. Serotonin influences appetite.  
2. GABA curbs emotional eating 
3. Acetylcholine regulates fat storage 
4. Dopamine controls metabolism 
When these brain chemicals are balanced, our bodies are more able to lose those extra pounds. Not only does this book cover how to find out which brain chemical you may be lacking, but directs you towards which foods will increase them, what supplements would be best for your body AND recipes that taste great and will keep all the brain chemicals happy!
