Editorial Review:

If you thought there was nothing funny about the weight gain of menopause, wait until you read Larrian Gillespie's The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook. Based upon her own research as a physician who dealt with women's health, she has put together a humorous yet quick and easy cookbook as the companion to her ground-breaking health book, "The Menopause Diet." Recognizing that over 50% of women entering menopause are overweight and at risk for heart disease, diabetes and strokes, Larrian has combed the scientific literature to unravel the mystery of why women gain and lose weight differently than men and developed 135 recipes or "mini meals" for women who love to eat their way to a healthy life.

The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook includes a unique chapter explaining the medical benefits of including certain foods and spices in your diet and explains why women may be digging their graves with their teeth when they eat a high-glycemic carbohydrate, low protein diet. With more than 5000 women entering menopause daily, Larrian's books offer a lifestyle that improves your chances of living to 100 without the disability brought on by heart disease,diabetes and high blood pressure- all by making food your home pharmacy.
