Rose Reisman's Meal Revolution


Book Description

Canada’s Food Guide was first published in 1942, undergoing 8 revisions by 2019. None had been truly successful in getting people to eat better because the guide lacked accessible explanations of how to use it. Yet, healthy eating may lower the risk of obesity, heart and stroke disease, diabetes type 2, certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. The latest Food Guide is the most user-friendly, practical, and healthy to date. Eating more plant proteins improves both your health and the environment. Here’s the breakdown of the ideal meal: • 50% vegetables and fruits, • 25% whole grains, and • 25% lean protein coming from either plant or meat sources. Rose Reisman’s Meal Revolution is the first cookbook to teach the principles behind the Food Guide in practical terms. This book incorporates cooking trends such as Instant Pot and Sheet Pan meals, main course bowls, smoothies, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Each recipe includes symbols for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or vegan to help you navigate your dietary needs. Now you too can cook at home, “break bread” with family and friends, and improve the quality of your meals. Reisman offers you a wealth of easy, nutritious and delicious recipes that help everyday cooks understand the new food guide—and put it into use.




Rose Reisman's Choose It and Lose It


Book Description

We all want to eat well, cut calories and keep ourselves and our families happy and healthy. But with all our commitments and claims on our time--work, school, hobbies, commuting and ferrying our kids to their extracurricular activities--we don't always have time for home-cooked meals. Fast food--whether it's from our favourite "fun night out" restaurant or the "on the way to work" coffee shop--is a reality of our busy lives. But there's no reason it has to be a high-calorie or unhealthy reality. Healthier choices can be made at fast-food restaurants. When we're at A&W's, how many of us know to choose a Mamaburger over a Mozzaburger? At Panago's, a Quattro Cheese on Multigrain Thin Crust pizza over a Primo Vegetarian Hand Tossed pizza? At Starbucks, a Butter Croissant over a Blueberry Scone? At all three of these restaurants, the first option is--surprisingly--the healthier one! Rose Reisman's Choose It and Lose It sets out a selection of the healthier choices for these restaurants and 62 others--Canada's most popular ones--with clear explanations of what makes Rose's choices better. She includes guidance on how to judge ingredients and levels of saturated fats in meals and understand how these contribute to calorie counts and nutritional values. The illustrated, easy-to-use, small-format of this book makes it a handy reference guide for those who want to learn how to deconstruct a restaurant meal at a glance and make the healthy choice every time.

The Unseen Body


Book Description

"A fascinating, lyrical book... Reisman's experiences in other cultures bring a richness and depth to The Unseen Body. The way he thinks about the body and medicine—the rivers and tributaries, the flowing and unclogging, the top-down organization of the brain—is extraordinary!" —Mary Roach In this fascinating journey through the human body and across the globe, Dr. Reisman weaves together stories about our insides with a unique perspective on life, culture, and the natural world. Jonathan Reisman, M.D.—a physician, adventure traveler and naturalist—brings readers on an odyssey navigating our insides like an explorer discovering a new world with The Unseen Body. With unique insight, Reisman shows us how understanding mountain watersheds helps to diagnose heart attacks, how the body is made mostly of mucus, not water, and how urine carries within it a tale of humanity’s origins. Through his offbeat adventures in healthcare and travel, Reisman discovers new perspectives on the body: a trip to the Alaskan Arctic reveals that fat is not the enemy, but the hero; a stint in the Himalayas uncovers the boundary where the brain ends and the mind begins; and eating a sheep’s head in Iceland offers a lesson in empathy. By relating rich experiences in far-flung lands and among unique cultures back to the body’s inner workings, he shows how our organs live inextricably intertwined lives—an internal ecosystem reflecting the natural world around us. Reisman offers a new and deeply moving perspective, and helps us make sense of our bodies and how they work in a way readers have never before imagined.
