A life after alcoholism doesn't need to be weighed down by the lingering consequences of addiction. The latest research indicates that with the right nutrition, you can reverse the physical toll alcoholism has taken on your body and manage your path out of addiction. Renée Hoffinger, MHSE, RD, has developed a landmark new plan that empowers you to undo the damage your addiction inflicted--through the natural power of food.
Twelve weeks of meal plans will ease you into newfound empowerment as you shed your dependence for good; mend damage to your body; and maintain balance for a long, healthy life. You will learn:
- Which foods help repair liver and other organ damage- What to eat to rid your body of toxins
- How to manage a diet and extend that control to your cravings
- When to turn to food--and when to seek outside help
"The Recovery Diet" is an essential nutrition handbook for people in recovery written in a personable, informative, empowering style. Although specific to alcoholism, much of the content can be applied to recovery from other addictive substances, as well. The book clearly addresses the health concerns, dietary goals, and common questions about diet in recovery as well as demystifying the process of food preparation. Hoffinger has worked in the substance abuse area for almost 20 years and serves as the BHN-DPG's Resource Professional on Addictions.
