Jodi Stolove: Chair Dancing Sit Down & Tone Up
This is one of a series of exercise DVDs by Jodi Stolove, that lead you through an entirely seated gentle aerobics workout. Great for those with knee injuries or other health issues that make traditional exercise difficult. (****)Susan Kano: Making Peace With Food
Another classic, this self-help book on deprogramming your brain from compulsive-dieter mentality includes exercises and workbook sections in which to explore your attitudes so you can better work on changing them. (****)Susie Orbach : Fat Is a Feminist Issue
The classic. I read this all the way back in my college days -- if only I had paid better attention to its lessons, I might have saved myself some twenty years of grief. (****)- Julia Ferre: Basic Macrobiotic Cooking
Just what the title says. The writing is really dry, but the info on macrobiotic cooking methods and techniques is rock-sold and no-nonsense. (****) Annemarie Colbin: The Book of Whole Meals: A Seasonal Guide to Assembling Balanced Vegetarian Breakfasts, Lunches and Dinners
This good basic cookbook puts into practice the theories Colbin discusses in her book "Food and Healing." (****)Marian Morash: The Victory Garden Cookbook
Encyclopedic compendium of vegetable cookery, covering everything from main dishes (both with and without meat) to sides to desserts to preserves. (****)Madhur Jaffrey: Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking
Wide-ranging and knowledgeable survey of meatless recipes from all over the Near and Far East. Great for those cutting down on meat consumption as well as vegetarians. (*****)Annemarie Colbin: Food and Healing
A long-time natural-foods cooking instructor explains her macrobiotics-based system for healthy cooking and eating. (****)American Diabetes Association: Exchange Lists for Meal Planning
This is the food plan I currently use. Even if you're not a diabetic, it's a good, no-nonsense plan. (*****)Susun S. Weed: Healing Wise (Wise Woman Herbal Series)
Not only a great herbal, but also a great analysis of modern scientific medical traditions vs. older, more natural healing traditions. (*****)
