With all the contradicting information out there, it seems impossible to find a food equation that is both simple and effective. What’s healthy? What’s not? All things in moderation? Some things in moderation? Carbs? Calories? Fat?

By purchasing this cookbook, you have taken the first step in transforming your health, as well as your time in the kitchen. This cookbook contains recipes with three things in mind:

You love food.
You are busy.
You want to feel better and look better.
My name is Dr. Josh Axe, and I love food, too. I used to be just like you. I thought eating healthy meant you had to eat sticks, grass, dried tuna, and Brussels sprouts. But I found that eating real, natural foods and using proper preparation can make food taste amazing. And the added bonus, you are going to lose weight and feel great. I used to be the guy who ate nothing but chicken breast and dried out broccoli, and I thought that was eating right. I had a lot to learn. Eating the right foods doesn’t have to be a chore. With the right recipes—like the ones in this book—you’ll find out how delicious eating healthy can be. This book is filled with short, easy recipes that taste amazing and will make you feel better. What more could you ask for? Remember, it’s not rocket science.
