    Are you craving chocolate? Go ahead, give in! Cacao--raw chocolate--often referred to as "food of the gods" is high in antioxidants. It is also an excellent source of magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, and copper. A good source of omega-6 fatty acids and rich in heart-healthy oleic acids, it will boost your mood, improve cognition and help lessen stress! Sounds too good to be true, but it isn't! As author Matt Ruscigno explains, this hot superfood has powerful benefits. Then Matt gives you what you really want--recipes for chocolate! Superfoods for Life, Cacao contains 75 recipes for sweet and savory cacao recipes--from main dishes to desserts--including Huitlacoche-Chocolate Empanadas, Cocoa Buffalo Tempura Vegetables, Dolmathes with Currant-Chocolate Rice and Cacao Tzatziki."Superfoods for Life: Cacao is a gorgeous, fun, and fascinating book. It is chalk full of fresh perspectives on a food that is often thought of as little more than a candy bar. If you think chocolate is exclusively for dessert, be prepared to expand your bittersweet horizons. This book deserves a place on the shelf of every culinary enthusiast!" - Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, co-authors of Becoming Vegan: Comprehensive Edition (2014) and the award-winning, Becoming Vegan: Express Edition (2013)"Dietitian Matt Ruscigno, a respected authority on diet and chronic disease, shows readers how chocolate--yes, chocolate!--can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and dementia. There is no hype here--just the kind of solid research and science-based advice that Matt is known for. And wow--the recipes! There are cookies and cake, of course, but the show-stoppers are healthy, savory dishes like Velvety Chocolate Vegetable Tarts and Chocolate Marinara Sauce, and a chocolate-infused guacamole. This is healthy eating at its best: simple, incredibly delicious, and fun." - Virginia Messina, author of Vegan for Life and Vegan for Her"I knew cacao was both delicious and super nutritious. But what I didn't know was how it could be so extensively used to create such a wide diversity of amazing recipes with the depth and texture to please even the most finicky connoisseur. Superfoods for Life: Cacao educates and inspires with a fresh take on this miraculous superfood with a diversity of unique and accessible recipes. But what distinguishes this cookbook from the fray is the authority and compassion of author Matt Ruscigno--a dietitian, nutritionist, and athlete of unparalleled reputation with a unique facility for helping countless make the transition to healthier, more sustainable diet and lifestyle habits. This book is a must for anyone looking to take their healthy kitchen to the next level!" - Rich Roll, plant-based endurance athlete and best-selling author of Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World's Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself"Superfoods for Life: Cacao allows you to feel truly good about your love affair with chocolate. The book traces the amazing history of cacao and provides scientific facts about the health benefits of this plant-powered food. And best of all are the eclectic recipes, ranging from chocolate pizza to cocoa goulash!" - Sharon Palmer, R.D.N., The Plant-Powered Dietitian(tm) and author of Plant-Powered for Life

    When you begin researching how to lose weight, heal yourself, or combat the side effects of aging, you probably have come across a multitude of different plans and ideas that offer unrealistic and “too good to be true” solutions. But the reality is that if it sounds unbelievable, chances are it is. All the different options out there that seem to offer you a magic pill to fix everything are often dangerous to your health and well-being. And they are probably not great for your waistline either.You cannot expect to support your body by only eating cabbage soup and celery. There is no way you can sustain that to keep weight off! 
    So when it fails, you can expect it to be a hard fall. And after that? Do you go back on that seesaw, or look for something more realistic, sustainable, and supported by science? 
    There are many choices out there to support your various goals, but only a handful can substantiate their claim to benefit all of them. Autophagy is more than a diet, but rather a state of being. It is a natural process that you can activate with your diet and lifestyle and then reap some amazing benefits. You can activate it fast, with an “extreme” approach, such as water fasting, or mimic fasting and ease in slower into the state of being. And there are options in between those extremes that you can consider, too. But do you know exactly what autophagy is and why it is beneficial to your body? Do you know how and why it is activated in your body? Reading through this “manual” on how to cleanse and heal your body will give you these answers and more.It is not easy changing your lifestyle, losing weight, and supporting your health.

    People will always be drawn by a force stronger than gravity to do whatever is fastest, easiest, and cheapest. Typical diet plans and workout routines are very time-consuming, extremely difficult, and very expensive - all of which are completely against human nature - so people can't do it for long, go back to their normal life routines, and gain back all the weight. To successfully lose fat - and most importantly - stay fit for the long term, people need a system that is realistic and actually sustainable for the rest of their life because it requires almost zero extra time, effort, or expense. The solution? No counting calories. No measuring portions of food. No weighing morsels of dried-out flavorless chicken breast. No terrible diet recipes. No pills, powders, or supplements. No expensive stuff to buy. You don't need to buy anything new. No complicated system to learn and memorize. Just a few easy-to-remember fat loss guidelines to apply throughout the day while you do everything you would normally do. Yes, you read that right, while doing everything you would normally do, eating the things you would normally eat, and not doing any additional exercise. Restaurant food is also perfectly fine - as you do have a social life. But, you won't magically lose fat by doing nothing. If you don't do anything, and simply make the New Year's resolution you want to lose 40 pounds of fat this year, halfway through the year, you'll realize you have 55 pounds to go. Start losing weight in the most enjoyable way possible by avoiding most of the pain and suffering typically associated with losing fat. Most importantly, it requires almost zero extra time, effort, or expense - so you can stay fit and healthy for the long term without drastically changing your comfortable routines and habits. Depending on your daily habits, you'll almost certainly save both time and money. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.
