The Best Heart Healthy Recipes Cookbook

When I looked at the Mediterranean heart healthy cookbook landscape, I found a plethora of books that claimed to be heart healthy. Unfortunately, many of them were quite generic or rehashed recipes from other books. Many of them promised to lower cholesterol levels and improve blood sugars. I bought the top 100 books in the "heart-healthy diet" and "Mediterranean diet" category on Amazon and went through them book by book. I also read all their reviews to find out what people thought of these books, and what they recommend instead.

The reviews were abysmal. One book promised to be a 30-minute heart healthy cookbook, but not one single recipe could actually be made in 30 minutes.

A few other books that I looked at were at the top of the best heart health cookbooks lists and the recipes were not really heart healthy, or contained so few grams of protein that no one could actually live a healthy lifestyle eating such low protein foods. Some promised low-sodium meals, but you ended up with very high sodium loads.

The Bodybuilder's Heart Healthy Recipes Cookbook

As a body builder and certified personal trainer, I need protein! I am not talking about a high protein diet or Atkins or Carnivore style diet full of excess protein. I am talking about enough protein to prevent muscle loss and even cause muscle gain while losing weight.

The best heart healthy cookbook should be based on scientific research. I've spent 20 years researching and lecturing on sustainable, cardiologist approved weight loss. The cookbook should also be full of great tasting, nutritious food.

The good news? My weight loss cookbook does exactly that and over delivers. It's the best cookbook period! The heart healthy and higher protein recipes are just bonus.

Best Mediterranean Diet Recipes

It's based on a Mediterranean style diet, the only diet proven by research to improve cardiovascular mortality and reduce the incidence of 12 different cancers. The Mediterranean diet is based on the diet of people who live in the blue zones who have proven that they can live to over 100 years or more.

The recipes are choc full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, Greek yogurt, beans, legumes, and healthy fats (olive oil), omega 3s  in incredibly tasty recipes.

Healthy Eating Lifestyle

My new book is all about healthy eating that the whole family can enjoy. Whether you have had a heart attack or are looking to prevent one, these low-sodium, low saturated fat meals are going to satisfy your cravings. This book is for everyone, not just heart patients. With good food comes good health.

The book is full of low saturated fat, protein packed meals to help reduce the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. We know that lowering saturated fat intake to below 10% of total calories (which most Americans adhere to) is a critical driver of heart health outcomes.

Do You Need a Registered Dietician?

You don't have to hire a registered dietitian, download expensive meal planning tips, glance at food charts, or download a grocery shopping guide. My new healthy heart cookbook has it all.

And because I am a certified personal trainer and body builder, you won't lose your gains!

So how does this cookbook cause weight loss?

Multiply your weight by ten, go to that chapter, make food, lose weight!

It's literally that simple!

Transform Your Body, Health, and Soul!

Transform your body with simple, heart healthy, flavorful, nutritious, and very filling foods! Finally, get in shape, gain confidence, feel sexier, get leaner, build muscle, and lose all the weight you want without avoiding foods you love, and without working out every day!

This heart healthy cookbook is divided up into chapters based on calories needed to lose weight. For example, the first chapter is 2400 calories and includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert recipes that add up to 2400 calories, with sufficient protein to prevent muscle loss. If you need to eat 2400 calories to lose weight, this is the chapter for you.

There's a chapter for 2200, 2000, 1800, and so on. The first few chapters explain how to calculate the number of calories needed to cause weight loss and how to adjust them over time.

Bonus Chapters and Healthy Mediterranean Recipes

The first chapter is a bonus and reveals my infamous 90g protein berry smoothie that's only 450 calories and tastes out of this world! Start your day off with a treat!

Why Another Mediterranean Diet Heart Healthy Cookbook?

After lecturing around the world, physicians, patients, clients, family, and friends all wanted a cookbook that embodies my simple weight loss philosophy. After every lecture a group of people would gather asking for recipes, or a diet plan, or a secret formula. There's no real secret formula. But this is the closest thing to it!

How much simpler would your life be if you calculated your caloric needs, flipped to that chapter, and made those amazing meals? Each chapter contains a breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert that are scrumptious and fit within your caloric limits! Sticking to your calorie limits will cause weight loss. There are adjustments that can be made along the way, and the first chapter explains the adjustments and how often to make them.

Why Do You Need More Protein?

Because I'm a bodybuilder, an ordinary cookbook would not suffice. You must include enough protein to cause muscle growth, or at the very least, muscle retention. Most people don't get enough protein in their diets, so when they cut calories, they are at risk of losing muscle mass.

Heart 2 Heart was written and designed for this exact purpose. So that you can eat whatever you want, stay within your limits, lose weight, and build muscle.

As a cardiologist and personal trainer I'm uniquely qualified to address the issues of health, wellness, mortality, longevity, and optimizing your health via very simple formula.

Heart 2 Heart starts out with an introductory chapter that explains the science and philosophy behind my weight loss strategies. Then you calculate your calories and learn how to adjust them over time. Then you jump to your calorie chapter and begin. Weight will start to come off!

How Is This Book Organized?

The book is divided up into chapters based on the number of calories needed to achieve weight loss. For example, the first chapter is 2400 calories and includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert recipes that add up to 2400 calories, with sufficient protein to prevent muscle loss. If you need to eat 2400 calories to lose weight, this is the chapter for you. There's a chapter for 2200, 2000, 1800, and so on. The first few chapters explain how to calculate the number of calories needed to cause weight loss and how to adjust them over time.

Cardiologist Chef with Heart Healthy Recipes

I grew up cooking with my mom since I was about 8 years old. I learned all about traditional cuisine, and have since taken tons of cooking classes and experimented with heart healthy recipes that also taste amazing! I have always been passionate about cooking. I got married at a young age and I was always responsible for making the food. If anyone has ever watched my YouTube or followed me on social media, you'll quickly find out that I love cooking. To this day, I am the main creative chef in the house and come up with amazing flavor filled, healthy, and palatable dishes!

I've been perfecting my heart healthy recipes for over three decades, and this is the culmination of my heart healthy lifestyle and philosophy.

My heart healthy cookbook is filled with heart-healthy recipes because I am a cardiologist. Every recipe and chapter contains sufficient amount of protein to prevent muscle loss when dieting down. As you know, when you are in a calorie deficit, you can and will lose some muscle. The certified personal trainer in me wants to prevent this. Lean body mass is cardioprotective and reduces cardiovascular mortality.

These are nutritious and delicious recipes that the average person will love.

If you love healthy food and healthy cooking, you will love Heart 2 Heart!
