Dr Libby's Real Food Chef is a whole cooking system born from the desire to
inspire us to eat what Dr Libby calls ‘low human intervention food’, real
food the way it comes in nature.
We live in an age where so much of our food has been processed, preserved,
sprayed or chemically enhanced to increase its shelf life and make food more
appealing to the human eye. While there are many conflicting health messages out
there, health professionals are unanimous in their recommendations that a high
plant diet is the most beneficial for optimal health and disease prevention.
Filled with delicious, nourishing recipes, beautiful images, quotes to
inspire, and food education, the Real Food Chef has been designed to enhance
your quality of life and give you more energy to live the life you love.
We eat, on average, 35 times a week and these eating occasions supply the
cells of your body with the nutrients to give you optimal health, energy and
vitality. Discover how Real Food can revolutionise how you feel.
Author Biography
Dr Libby Weaver (nee Ellis) (Ph.D) is one of Australasia's leading
nutrition specialists and weight loss experts based in Auckland, New Zealand.
Libby's passion for empowering people to make optimum health choices has led
her to consult privately with individuals, in the coporate health arena, as well
as with universities and the media. She is an author and a much sought after and
passionate speaker covering a broad range of topics that leave her audiences
well informed and uplifted. Libby completed her Ph.D examining biochemical and
nutritional factors in children with autism at The University of Newcastle,
Australia, the outcomes of which have affected the way in which the condition is
treated in Australia and now also in New Zealand. It was through this work that
Libby came to better understand the role various hormones play in influencing
our body shape and size, our appetites, our responses to exercise and stress,
clarity of thought, sleep patterns and a host of other behaviours. Working in
two of Australia's leading health retreats, sharing these insights,
Libby's concepts were often described as “life-changing”. She reaches a
broad range of people from business men and women and stay-at-home parents, to
prominent sportspeople and Hollywood stars. Dr Libby has heard stories of weight
loss challenges from people of many different walks of life. For some it was as
simple as sorting their energy intake versus their energy expenditure. For
countless others, frustration stemmed from confusion about what to eat and a
sense of frustration that after a period of effort with food and exercise still
no loss of body fat was occurring. Dr Libby knew there had to be far more to
weight loss than energy balance, or what she has come to call the calorie
equation. Accidentally Overweight, Dr Libby's best-selling book, was born out
of Dr Libby's research and her work with thousands and thousands of people. Dr
Libby's powerful messages are delivered through the pages of her book, DVDs,
and webinars as well as through her powerful live events, getting to the heart
of nutritional and emotional issues which have the potential to alter an
individual's health future. Dr Libby writes for numerous magazines and her
first two best-selling books Accidentally Overweight and Rushing
Woman's Syndrome are for everyone wanting to understand how they can support
their body's chemistry and psychology to achieve optimal health.
