Hey friends, I am super excited to have my friend Winnie Abramson of Healthy Green Kitchen joining us today to talk about her brand new book, One Simple Change: Surprisingly Easy Ways to Transform Your Life.  I started reading this amazing book during the holiday break and although I haven’t finished it completely yet, as I am really trying to take it slow, take it all in and implement as much of it as I can into my own life, I already cannot recommend it enough! Winnie did an incredible job creating an easy to read, easy to implement list of 50 simple, but permanent healthy changes we can bring to our lives to improve our everyday well-being. From age-old culinary wisdom to green living tips, cutting-edge nutrition information, and 15 simple and easy recipes. You can take in the entire book at once and dive right into all the changes, you could work through the tips week by week or just dip in and out of the book at will. Either way, you will be left inspired to be the best you can after even just a few pages of reading.

I am so honored Beth invited me to guest post here on Tasty Yummies. She asked me to share a bit about why I wrote my new book One Simple Change. I was happy to oblige!

When it comes to matters of health, our society is pretty obsessed with the concept of quick fixes. There’s also a great deal of pressure out there to take various eating and lifestyle practices to extremes. I understand the temptation to jump on the latest diet, exercise, etc. bandwagon (especially at this time of year), I really do…heck I’ve done that myself in the past.

My inspiration for writing One Simple Change, however, was to provide a different way of doing things…I wanted to pave an alternative health and happiness path, if you will. When I was younger, I dealt with disordered eating and over exercising and I ended up miserable with a host of health problems as a result.  Now I live a life that’s balanced and full of joy (and at 43 years old, I have never been healthier or happier): I wanted to share how I got to where I am today, and that’s why I wrote this book.

Much of One Simple Change is indeed based on my experiences making changes in my own life. But it’s also heavily influenced by what I learned in naturopathic medical school (and practice) and my recommendations are backed by scientific research (the book is heavily referenced). The book is a compilation of 50 small, sustainable ways you can transform your diet, adjust your lifestyle, and overhaul your attitude in order to benefit your health and well-being. A good portion of the book is also meant to inspire readers to live greener, a topic about which I am passionate.

Small changes can really add up. And when you take things slow and change only one thing at a time, the changes are more likely to stick! I hope you’ll check out the book, and give my “method” a try.
