The Eat Live Thrive Diet

It is a Herculean task  once we hit a certain age . Women, especially,  have a tough time once they hit their forties and fifties. Don't despair. There is a new diet and lifestyle that help with nutrition going to the body and the soul. It's time to get on the eat,live thrive diet.

Danna Demetre and Robyn Thomson wrote about it in their new book Eat Live Thrive Diet : A Lifestyle Plan to Rev Up Your Midlife Metabolism (Waterbrook Publishing 2019). Once a woman hits menopause, it's incredibly hard to lose weight. She also gives up. This book offers a solution in which she'll not only feel better physically but also spiritually.  The authors have gone through the diet and philosophy themselves. Ms. Demetre is in her mid-sixites while Ms. Thomson is a decade younger. Both have had backgrounds in mentoring and as coaches . They know what works. There are chapters devoted to the three kinds of diets women, along with men can try. What is interesting is how they show going about to find out the diet that works for an individual. It's sort of like an allergy test, with all sorts of foods being tasted and tested. The reaction is recorded and that food is eliminated. Then there are three diets or levels a reader can go on.  Level One is just ridding oneself of all sugars and grains. Level Two is much more intense with even potatoes and beans. Level Three is even more strict. Both Ms. Demetre and Ms. Thomson take it one step further with body brushing, where you brush your body with a hair brush to stimulate your blood flow and eliminate toxins. Level Three also requires participants to practice box breathing as well.

This book also has a spiritual side and Bible verses are seen quite often. It will give dieters a better and more positive outlook on their bodies and self image. Another religious facet is fasting which I've tried to do when I read the book. It's a good way of purifying the body and allowing the digestive system to take a break. There is also a chapter on sleep which is vital in losing weight., Again I've tried a few of Ms. Demetre's and Ms Thomson's suggestions for a good, restful night. There is a chapter on exercise, but again this is not a heavy duty regimen. It's tailored to individual and takes into consideration age and body type. Of course this is also a recipe book and there are a variety of different dishes for the different levels.There is even a chapter on salad dressing which they recommend bringing to restaurants.Breakfast recipes are grain free. Most are power smoothies, designed to take you to lunch.There are pumpkin spice pancakes made with coconut flour and sweetened with pure monk fruit extract. The main course  recipes are hearty and can even be served at a dinner party. They all are delicious from the roasted free range chicken with rosemary , chives and garlic to easy baked salmon over spinach. Even the kids will like the turkey taco wraps and slow cook chili. There are treats too, such as sorbets, cakes and cookies, along with muffins that can be easily made.Dieters will appreciate the inclusion of a chocolate truffle and chocolate bliss squares. Even mocktails are including for healthful imbibing.

Eat Live Thrive  Diet: A Lifestyle Plan To Rev Up Your Midlife Metabolism is a definite must have for those wanting to lose weight.The entire program will ensure not only healthy eating but healthy living. Embrace the philosophy for a better life.
