First up another interesting “Anti-diet” book Calorie Wars: Fat, Fact and Fiction by Larry Deutsch and Jeff Schweitzer.  Joining me to talk about the book is Dr. Jeff Schweitzer

Calorie Wars: Fat, Fact and Fiction presents a startling truth: if you want to be lean, fit and healthy you don’t need to diet. All you need to do, to have the body that you desire, is to eat naturally and normally.  Written by Dr. Larry Deutsch, a family physician, and Jeff Schweitzer, biologist and former White House senior analyst, Calories Wars reveals the truths that weight loss industry doesn’t want you to know:

• How the human body stores and burns fat

• The role that metabolism plays in weight loss

• How easy losing weight can be

The authors take on and debunk popular diets and dieting experts. Read Calorie Wars: Fat, Fact and Fiction to learn why these popular diets are guaranteed to fail:

• Herbal Magic

• Zone

• South Beach

• Atkins

• 4 Hour Body

• Raw Food

If you have battled extra weight for years stop wasting your time and end the war today. Don’t be fooled by fad diets and false promises. Get the truth. Read Calorie Wars.

In the second half I’ll be talking to a Ruby Dee Philippa, a Grammy nominated singer, a former restaurant owner featured on The Food Network, a professional musician who suffered a devastating brain injury, only to use recipe writing to nurse herself back to health – and now the author of Ruby’s Juke Joint Americana Cookbook, a full-length recipe book featuring down-home favorites like cornbread, ribs, and sweet tea…and much more!

Ruby Dee Philippa is the lead singer of the high-octane roots and rockabilly act Ruby Dee and the Snakehandlers. Raised in both the Northern California foothill ranches and the cotton and oil fields of the Texas panhandle, Ruby has worked on fishing boats in Alaska, lived in South America, and toured most of the United States. Her travels have inspired her devotion to Americana culture, which celebrates the melting pot heritage of the United States.

Previously, Ruby owned three successful restaurants in Seattle, Washington, until she finally “settled down” as a musician in Austin, Texas, where she lives today. Her book, Ruby’s Juke Joint Americana Cookbook, is a veritable feast of down-home recipes meant to be enjoyed with family and friends.

Ruby’s Juke Joint Americana Cookbook is available at www.barnesandnoble.com and www.amazon.com, in hardcover, paperback, and eBook format. It can also be purchased from major and independent bookstores nationwide or from Ruby directly at www.rubysjukejoint.com.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
NV Gimmonet-Gonet (Le Mesnil) Grower Champagne

“Champagne Gimmonet-Gonet is stand-alone, no-frills bubbly that shows extremely well against much heavier weights, and does quite well next to their neighbor Krug (also from Le Mesnil). The Brut Tradition is 50% chardonnay, 50% pinot noir.” -The Importer

 Perfect for your Valentines day celebration with someone you like! 😉
