Book Review: Crazy, Sexy Diet

Book Review: Crazy, Sexy Diet

A wealth of information, this book is filled with great recipes, encouraging words, and amazing facts. I was shocked at all that I learned. It also contains Kris Carr's purpose for writing this book. In short, Carr found out she had cancer and decided to do something about it, using food as her medicine. Carr explains in great detail and clarity how food can be both destructive and healing. There are some intriguing topics that are contained in this book that are pretty convincing.

Crazy, Sexy Diet is for a vegan/vegetarian diet. She discusses issues with meat, both it's treatment and the processing it goes through as well as how we digest and how our body processes it. Karr is encouraging in her approach and realizes that a 60/40 goal, 60 for the diet, 40 percent not. 

Karr creates a wonderful book that will have both your soul and body satisfied.

Her cookbook is a wonderful addition to Crazy, Sexy Diet.

Book Review: Skinny Bitch

Book Review: Skinny Bitch

I've read this book a few times and also their other book: Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven.

Freedman and Bornouin create a no-nonsense guide to being the healthiest version of you. It's centered mostly on the health aspect and very little in fitness. Their writing style can be a bit harsh, but it really shows their passion on the topic of being healthy.

Skinny Bitch promotes a vegan lifestyle centered around organic. The books delves heavily into the treatment, or mistreatment of animals and animal products; going as far to say that we are eating rotting carcasses. I will admit to an aversion to meat after reading this tell-all. Freedman and Barnouin write about how humans are not made to eat meat, hence the vegan approach to nourishing your body.

Taste Test: PURE bars

Taste Test: Pure Bars

While shopping at Costco, I was looking for some sort of snack for myself. Having a two-year-old, I tend to dip into her tasty treats every now and then, but I was left feeling sluggish and heavy after...(I eat way more than any person should!!). But I wanted something small that I could fit in my purse and carry with me. 

I have bought protein bars before, stomaching the "date" taste or indulging in the "partially hydrogenated corn syrup". But neither of these options were what I was really looking for. I stumbled upon Pure Bar and bought a large pack of 15 bars, which included the following flavors: Peanut Butter Chocolate, Chocolate Chunk Nut, Triple Berry Nut. 

I really enjoyed all three bars. The obvious favorites were peanut butter chocolate and Chocolate Chunk Nut, but Triple Berry Nut Bar became my favorite as well. This product is satisfying and delicious. It is very tasty, a healthy spin on a Rice Krispy Treat. It combines quinoa, amaranth, flax and 

They are also gluten free, kosher, vegan, and organic. Can you really ask for more? They have a bunch more flavors that I am eager to try. 

A very tasty treat!
