The HAPI Heart Diet and Cookbook

About the Book

CLASSIC FRENCH CUISINE MEETS HEART-HEALTHY LIVING

The HAPI Heart Diet and Cookbook takes the fundamental principles of classic French culinary art and combines them with the proven health-promoting and disease-preventing powers of the Mediterranean diet. Using expert advice on nutrition and exercise, and more than two hundred fifty pages of gourmet recipes, Michael P. Varveris, MD shows how best to prevent the development of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Instead of a quick fix or miracle pill, Varveris provides a daily physical activity plan, focusing on aerobic exercise, stretching and strength training, and offers sound information on caloriecounting, appropriate vitamin and mineral supplements as well as "good" versus "bad" fats and carbohydrates.

Regardless of whether or not other diet plans have worked for you in the past, if you have the right attitude, eat and exercise smarter, and realize you are embracing a new and better way of life rather than simply a way to look good for that upcoming high school reunion, you'll find it impossible not to succeed. Let The HAPI Heart Diet and Cookbook show you how!
