![[1607744627] [9781607744627] The Prediabetes Diet Plan: How to Reverse Prediabetes and Prevent Diabetes through Healthy Eating and Exercise-Paperback](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711cMO7ILoL._AC_SL520_.jpg)
I bought this book on a whim and do not regret it. I’ve made a bunch of the recipes so far, Sweet Potato breakfast cookies, superhero muffins, kale and raddichio salad (with a batch of the lemon miso dressing, my new favourite dressing), can’t beet me shake, swiss museili, minestrone soup, broccoli chevre soup, soba noodle salad – with the peanut sauce (another fav). And probably a few more that i can’t think of off the top of my head. I love all of them and look forward to trying the most of the others. There was only one miss so far, the coconut kale smoothie, but part of the problem was my blender isn’t good enough to really break down the kale. I love that a lot of the recipes keep well or can be frozen to be eaten throughout the week. The contain lots of nutrient dense foods and still taste good. The majority of my meals since buying this book have come from it. I’ve recommended it to anyone I thought would be interested. The area I live doesn’t tend to have a lot of the exotic ingredients some healthy cookbooks call for, however, I’ve been able to find everything I need so far. Did I mention I love it? I would buy a follow up book in a heart beat.My only complaint about the book is the backstories. The recipes are solid enough to stand on their own.Edited – I have made 26 recipes from this book so far and loved all but one.
Run fast and eat amazing food. This cook book was featured in Runners World magazine. I liked a few of the recipes I saw and decided to make them before purchasing the whole cook book. I made the spaghetti with bison meatballs and was SOLD! But then I thought, well maybe they only featured the *best* recipe. I tried the others that Runners World featured and they were all a-mazing! I decided to buy the cook book but was fully prepared to have my hopes dashed of finding a book full of great recipes.Let’s be real, we’ve all bought that cook book that has a few great recipes and that’s it. I have plenty of them in my cabinet. Sure they’ve got a few great recipes but I largely ignore most of the book because they’re total crap. Not with Run Fast, Eat Slow. I’ve tried several recipes from all of the sections and they have all been a hit! In fact, I made the mashed yams with sage brown butter for Thanksgiving and people were going nuts for it! There’s a few things I like about this book.1. It tastes amazing AND it’s healthy. I love eating healthy but my husband is much more difficult to convince. These recipes pack in some awesome food that’s great for you and tastes great. I have yet to make a bad meal from this book.2. It isn’t difficult. Don’t you hate when you buy a cookbook that wants you to do some professional level stuff and you’re like “uuuhhhh what?” Yeah, not this book. It’s all very straight forward and easy to make.3. Each recipe has a “story.” Shalane and Elyse explain the purpose behind each recipe. It helps you understand why certain things were added, what makes the recipe great, and the purpose of the recipe. It helps you decide between recipes (because they’re all sooooo good) when you’re like “man I really need some energy.” Boom, drink this amazing green tea green apple smoothie! Awesome awesome stuff.I’ve bought several of these cook books and have gifted them to people because it’s THAT amazing. I’ve never been this excited about a cook book or cooking. While I’ve always loved to cook, this cook book has made eating so much better. Go on ahead and order yourself a copy. You won’t regret it.
Nutrient Dense and Delicious Recipes. I got this book after a friend recommended it. First of all, it is written by a chef and an Olympian who are friends. Shalane Flanagan eats these foods! It’s cool to see their friendship – the human side of Shalane.What I love about it is that each recipe includes a description of the food and why it is beneficial for runners. For example, Teff Pumpkin Pancakes with Currants are great for postcard nourishment, Curry Lentil Soup with Charred Cauliflower is great for rejuvenation after a winter run, and Ginger-Mosasses Quick Bread is perfect for an iron-pumping bite. Beautiful photographs throughout! So far, I’ve only tried a couple of recipes, but have found that they were easy to make and delicious. They purposely left out the calorie count and macronutrient amounts to focus more on eating healthy nutrient dense foods. For long distance runners, I think this is great! No need to get bogged down with those numbers with THESE foods.In the back of the book, there are a list of common problems/ailments runners may encounter, such as dehydration or digestive distress. After each issue, there are a list of the recipes from the book to try to help with that condition.I even recommended this to some non-runner friends of mine! Check out their list of pantry staples, too – with a paragraph stating WHY for each one. I’m feeling better about the sardines in my pantry (hee hee), now I know what’s good about them! Did you know that since they are lowest on the food chain they are one of the cleanest foods you can eat? Plus they are one of the richest sources of B12 and B6 (great for fighting fatigue), inflammation-fighting omega-3s, calcium, and mood-boosting vitamin D. Even Elyse’s toddler loves these! Now don’t you want to know what else is in their pantry?
Fuel your engine with real food. I heard Flanagan on a podcast discussing this cookbook, and I am glad I ordered a copy (and one more for a friend).The tone is breezy and fun, but the message behind the recipes is serious- if you want to be healthy, eat real food. Don’t worry about calories, or grams of protein, etc., but worry about what actually goes into each thing you eat. There are no calories listed in these recipes.The recipes themselves are pretty simple and easy to follow. So far I’ve made four and each is a keeper. The energy bites are chewy, sweet and the perfect thing before or after a run. The breakfast sweet potato cookies were not as sweet, and a perfect alternative to a store bought protein bar. Finally, the mineral vegetable stock (I made mine in the crockpot), is tasty over ice- I haven’t cooked with it. Salty, celery flavors made me want to add vodka to it (maybe on a Friday afternoon). Finally, I made the soba noodle salad with peanut sauce for my family for dinner. The plate of blanched vegetables, noodles, and leftover roast chicken was beautiful, and I hadn’t made peanut sauce with coconut milk before. Good stuff.And listen to Flanagan if you can- she’s a fighter, and obviously passionate about running and this project.
Great book and recipes for runners
