Whole New You
How Real Food Transforms Your Life, for a Healthier, More Gorgeous You: A Cookbook
1 of 1 copy available
When actress Tia Mowry landed her breakthrough role on the sitcom Sister, Sister, she swapped home-cooked meals for catering spreads. But her teen-dream diet of candies and carbs turned into a nightmare when she developed endometriosis, a painful disease that affects one in ten women worldwide. Two years and two surgeries later, some surprising advice from her doctor inspired Tia to radically change one of the most basic elements of her life: her diet. After ditching the dairy and the refined sugars and processed foods, Tia’s pain receded drastically. What’s more, her migraines stopped, her skin cleared up, and she was finally able to get pregnant. Drawing on the latest research on whole plant foods, inflammation, and gut flora, Whole New You chronicles Tia’s journey to wellness and provides all the resources you need to feel better, including
• a ten-day menu plan to begin your healthy life
• more than 100 delicious recipes
• lighter versions of your favorite comfort food recipes, including “Buttermilk” Fried Chicken and Crispy Collard Chips
• healthy recipes for your kids
• tips and tricks for eating on the go
• complementary approaches, such as acupuncture and yoga, for whole body healing
Like a trusted friend, Tia recounts both her setbacks and her triumphs—and shows you how to listen to what your body is telling you. With Whole New You, your healing begins now.

Mowry is known for her work on the sitcom Sister Sister. More recently, she has appeared on Cooking Channel's Tia Mowry at Home and Food Network's Food Network Star Kids. Her first cookbook, written in collaboration with hypnotherapist Jessica Porter (The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics), outlines an antiinflammatory diet that helped Mowry recover from medical conditions such as eczema, migraines, and endometriosis. Aligned to Donna Gates's The Body Ecology Diet, the book recommends giving up dairy, white sugar, and processed foods. It includes a self-assessment tool, a ten-day menu plan to help readers kick-start healthier habits, and recipes for most courses, including drinks, desserts, and fermented foods. Mowry notes her advice should not replace the expertise of a qualified physician. VERDICT For readers interested in clean eating and antiinflammatory foods, this cooking and self-help title offers a selection of easy and satisfying recipes.

Cookbooks on clean eating dominate the diet category these days, but Mowry's youthful and conversational voice, along with her compelling personal health story, helps Whole New You stand apart. The author, an actor and Food Network host, describes her health journey, from sugar gorging as a teen to using diet pills to dealing with endometriosis. Mowry overhauled her dietgiving up dairy, refined sugar, and other simple carbohydratesand her health problems cleared. The book offers a summary of the nutrition science behind this style of eating, a discussion of which foods heal rather than hurt, and lifestyle tips. The more than 100 recipes that follow are simple and flavorful takes on familiar foods, including bean chili, lamb burgers, and Caesar salad, but made without dairy or simple carbs. Creamed spinach, for example, gets its texture from coconut milk, while chocolate-chip cookies use coconut sugar and whole grain flours. Mowry is informal and upbeat throughout, sometimes to a fault. (The rhetorical questions and asides get a little tired.) Still, many readers looking to jump-start a healthier diet will find this book encouraging and useful as both coach and guide.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
