About Eat Like You Give a Fork

Mareya Ibrahim is known as the “Fit Foodie,” a chef, a holistic nutritionist, and award-winning entrepreneur.  In Eat Like You Give a Fork, Mareya talks to you as though you are long lost friends. You have to appreciate how she says that nobody should do anything that starts with “die.”  (She’s referring to that ugly four-letter word – “DIET.”)

Strawberry Coconut Nice Cream

In the book, she identifies 8 essential strategies that she bases her recipes on.  Those strategies are:

1. Reset Your Taste Buds,
2. Stock Your Real Kitchen,
3. Get Up on Greens,
4. Take a Vegan Fast Break,
5. Go Gluten-Free Super Grains,
6. Fill in with Good Fat,
7. Become Real Dense, and
8. Live the 90/10 Rule.

No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

The cookbook contains 80 recipes and tips and strategies that will help you escape the diet mentality via a more positive approach to healthy eating.   

One of the things that I like is that she tells the reader that non-starchy vegetables make up 50 percent of the daily volume intake.  Eating plant-based foods is important so that we can get the essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need.  For some people, eating that many veggies can seem daunting.  But with the right tools (read – RECIPES), it is quite possible.  Some of the recipes in Mareya’s book that will make that easier are:

• Zucchini Noodles with Romesco Sauce
• The Real Dish Row Salad
• Smoky Veggie, Jackfruit, and White Bean Chili
• Veggie Cabbage Fried “Rice”

There are recipes for both omnivores and vegans in Eat Like You Give a Fork.  Look for it at your local bookstore or buy it on Amazon.com.
