FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TIRED of counting calories, carbs, fats, and points, this book makes nutrition count instead. Whole foods are nutrient-rich foods.

It provides a three-prong culinary approach to healthy living, weight loss, disease and illness prevention.

The Clean Cuisine Cookbook does away with 'dieting' and presents a nutritional template that has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation, resulting in peak health for the mind and body. Ivy and Andy's template strikes the perfect balance of plant-based foods working in conjunction with healthy amounts of animal protein. This perfect harmony optimises nutritional absorption, generating maximum anti-inflammatory benefits, weight loss, increased energy levels, and an overall sense of total health and well-being.
