You are what you eat. We have all heard this phrase at one time or another in our lives. If you consume high calories, high fat, and packaged foods with additives and preservatives you are going to feel tired, and unhealthy. In the book, smart eating Made Simple, nutritionist Jane Ibbetson discusses how changing your diet to mostly plant based organic whole foods can help you regain your energy and improve your overall health.
I am a stay at home mother of five beautiful children and eating healthy foods is very essential for my family. When we get busy with school activities, traveling or family emergencies eating best is much more difficult. We are surrounded with advertisements for packaged foods claiming to be fortified with healthy ingredients like lutein, extra protein, fiber and nutrients. We think these products are healthy for us and fall for the manufacturers’ gimmicks. However, these foods are missing important nutrients that our bodies crave and need.
Smart eating Made easy is and essential guide book to healthy eating that every family should have in their home library. Jane Ibbetson offers helpful suggestions and information on what foods aid in healing, what foods you ought to serve to your family, and the science behind a plant based diet. This book also includes several delicious and nutritious plant based recipes.
Below is one of my favorite recipes from smart eating Made Simple.

Layer the 6 fruits attractively in a glass bowl. mix yogurt, orange juice concentrate and honey for dressing. pour over fruit in the bowl and serve. Do not stir before serving time. Makes 8-10 servings.
After reading this book I believe I have finally found an answer to my health issues. I suffer from insomnia, fatigue and digestive problems. My husband has other problems with his health mostly related to his weight. We eat meat in small portions and try to stay away from red meats, however I don’t think we eat enough plant based foods. This fall I am planing on incorporating much more of the suggestions in smart eating Made easy for my family’s diet. I am also looking forward to trying much more of the recipes in the book.
