Eating Healthy Can Be Addictive Diane Kidman writes a lot of books.
While they've all been Kindle health bestsellers, "Smoothie Power "
is the one that gets her the most chatty and almost embarrassingly
enthusiastic. That's because when she set out to write it, she
thought it'd be a quick recipe book. You know, a fun little bout
with a blender and some fruit and leaves. Instead, she found out
that drinking all those smoothie experiments from her kitchen was
changing her health - drastically. A lifelong asthmatic, she
discovered a new favorite sport: Breathing. Yes, it's true. All
those leafy greens and fruit whirred around in the blender was
transforming her in ways she didn't realize were possible. You see,
other people breathe in nice deep breaths without gagging, whereas
Ms. Kidman did not realize this. Not really. Walking to the mailbox
pretty much made her choke. Walking back? We will not go there. The
visual is too disturbing. Who Doesn't Want Accidental Weight Loss?
Then there were the nine pounds she lost in about two weeks. Just
because of the smoothies. (While she did make some big dietary
changes during le grande smoothie experiment, this was AFTER losing
weight. Not before. Lungs? Same deal. But the later dietary changes
boosted both skinniness and breathiness. Big time.) So there we
are. Over 100 smoothie recipes later, Ms. Kidman wanted to shout
from the mountaintops about her new-found energy. But she'll settle
for hollering from a small dune if need be. Truth be told, this is
her favorite of all her books thus far. We have asked her to calm
it down a bit. Just pull the reigns in a teensy weensy way, so as
not to embarrass us. But will she listen? NO She wants to go
running. RUNNING, we say. And she dances about the house clutching
a glass of green stuff to her chest. And singing. Off key. It's
quite humiliating, really, but we cannot stop her. More Than Just
Smoothies - Other Stuff Too Now she is poking at us and reminding
us that we should also mention the book contains recipes for a few
blender soups and blender salad dressings, as well. We are tired of
hearing about her soup. Someone please stop her. What Others Are
Saying: ""I have been doing this just a little over 2 weeks and I
have already lost 7 pounds. The recipes are delicious..."" ""Can't
wait to try smoothies. My grocery list is made and I'm excited.
Easy to read and understand. Diane makes this seem simple.""

friendly, personal style; without compromising on the research and
details.""
