Lean and Green Cookbook New Tasty Recipes for Complete Lean and Green Meals to Help You Lose Weight and Live a Happy and Healthy Life

Hi, I'm Tony. I worked as a chef for four years on a farm in Parma in what is called the "food valley" in Italy.

The food valley is famous all over the world for the production of the four P's: Prosciutto-Parmigiano-Pomodoro (Tomato)-Pasta. All these products are of an outstanding quality that has made this small town and its factories famous all over the world.

The simplicity with which the food is prepared, and the vitality of the local people, have led me to make serious changes to what I eat. I was looking for a healthier lifestyle and a diet that would help me to lose at least 33 pounds.

One night, after work, I discovered a diet based on lean and green recipes, and I decided to try it. At first, I used recipes I found online, but they were unsatisfying. I was constantly hungry, and they didn't taste great.

I also noticed that the recipes did not take into account a very important element, the weight reduction of the meat/fish after being cooked. This made the portions smaller than the nutritional values that were indicated.

I felt frustrated, the recipes I found were inconsistent, and I was eating less than what I could safely eat while still respecting the diet. I nearly gave up.

After a few weeks, I started to adjust the dishes and prepare new recipes using the cooking methods I was learning in Parma. The dishes began to gain flavor, and my weight began to decrease. After five months, I had lost 22 pounds, did not feel hungry, and, most importantly, what I ate satisfied me. I lost another 11 pounds over the next few months to reach my final weight of 187 pounds.

Month after month, I felt more and more vital, even though I no longer ate pasta, one of the main dishes in Italy. So, I decided to write this recipe book and include what I have cooked for myself most often to help those who have neither the time nor the desire to experiment.

The nutritional values of most of the recipes fall within the lean and green parameters as follows:

✓ Calorie intake 250-400

✓ Total carbohydrate content less than or equal to 20 grams

✓ Total fat content: 10-20 grams

✓ Protein content: greater than or equal to 25 grams

In this cookbook, after the recipes, you will find chapters dedicated to the Italian products that I have included in the text and some tricks for preparing food that will make your dishes tastier.
