Learn how to understand food labels and cut through the myths, hype, and misleading information on “healthy” food choices in order to make the best choices. The Real Food Grocery Guide helps you navigate every aisle of the grocery store by clearly outlining what foods are truly the healthiest, the freshest, and the most economical—and which ones belong in the garbage rather than your grocery cart. Now you will finally know for certain whether fat-free and gluten-free are actually healthier, what hidden meanings you’re missing in food labels, and if organic vegetables and grass-fed meat are worth the extra cost. The Real Food Grocery Guide is the most comprehensive and actionable guide to grocery shopping and healthy eating available, with advice on: What to eat for health, balanced weight, and longevity How to shop to save a significant amount of time and money How to decipher food “buzz words” (like natural, grass-fed, wild, organic, gluten-free, etc.): know which to buy and which to leave on the shelf How to select the most nutritious and delicious produce, every time (no more getting home with brown avocados or tasteless melon) Why the quality of animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy is crucial—and how to choose the healthiest kinds How to store fresh food properly so it will stay fresh longer Why calorie counting is futile—and what you should look for instead to determine the healthiness of any food How to decipher what a food label is really saying How to avoid being duped by sneaky food industry claims and choose the best packaged products every time Stop guessing when you’re in the grocery store. Grab The Real Food Grocery Guide and get the real facts on what labels are telling you. No spin. Praise for The Real Food Grocery Guide “If you want a reliable, useful and easy to follow guide to food choices that will bring you greater health and happiness, you’ve found it in Maria Marlowe’s Real Food Grocery Guide.” —John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution “Maria busts through sneaky marketing terms and buzz words on packages, while showing you that it doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive to fill up your kitchen with the most nutritious foods.” —Vani Hari, New York Times–bestselling author and founder of FoodBabe.com

CURVE YOUR APPETITE. Dumping the fake stuff and relishing real food will make you feel better, help you drop pounds, and most importantly, take all the fear out of what you eat. Does that sound too good to be true? It isn’t—despite the fact that lately we’ve given up ripe vegetables for the canned stuff; tossed out sweet, tart orange juice for pasteurized concentrate; traded fresh fish for boil-in-a-bag dinners; and replaced real desserts with supersweet snacks that make us feel ridiculously overfed but definitely disappointed. The result? Most of us are overweight or obese—or heading that way; more and more of us suffer from diabetes, clogged arteries, and even bad knees. We eat too much of the fake stuff, yet we’re still hungry. And not satisfied. Who hasn’t tried to change all that? Who hasn’t walked into a supermarket and thought, I’m going to eat better from now on? So you load your cart with whole-grain crackers, fish fillets, and asparagus. Sure, you have a few barely satisfying meals before you think, Hey, life’s too short for this! And soon enough, you’re back to square one. For real change, you need a real plan. It’s in your hands. Real Food Has Curves is a fun and ultimately rewarding seven-step journey to rediscover the basic pleasure of fresh, well-prepared natural ingredients: curvy, voluptuous, juicy, sweet, savory. And yes, scrumptious, too. In these simple steps—each with its own easy, delicious recipes—you’ll learn to become a better shopper, savor your meals, and eat your way to a better you. Yes, you’ll drop pounds. But you won’t be counting calories. Instead, you’ll learn to celebrate the abundance all around. It’s time to realize that food is not the enemy but a life-sustaining gift. It’s time to get off the processed and packaged merry-go-round. It’s time to be satisfied, nourished, thinner, and above all, happier. It’s time for real food. Shape your waist, rediscover real food, and find new pleasure in every meal as Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough teach you how to: • Eat to be satisfied • Recognize the fake and kick it to the curb • Learn to relish the big flavors you’d forgotten • Get healthier and thinner • Save money and time in your food budget • Decode the lies of deprivation diets • Relish every minute, every bite, and all of life REAL FOOD. REAL CHANGE. REAL EASY.
