Book description
Supercharge your health and look your glowing best every day of your
life with great advice from Dr Joanna McMillan, the official
nutritionist of the Channel 9 Today show. We all know we should look
after our health, but what motivates most women to get to the gym or
decline that second helping of dessert is not being healthy so much as
looking good. We've all heard the message that we should focus on our
arteries and blood sugar levels rather than our silhouette - but what we
really want is a plan for keeping the weight off and looking our radiant
best at all times. Nutritionist Joanna McMillan knows that appearance is
inextricably bound up with physical well-being. The best way to lose
weight permanently and develop that attractive joie-de-vivre is to
smarten up your habits and live well. In this life-changing book she
presents new ways of thinking about food and activity that are easily
adaptable into any number of lifestyles and really work. Inner Health
Outer Beauty is a gorgeous and inspiring book for women. In addition to
diet, it looks at the full spectrum of food-related factors: appetite,
emotional eating and self-sabotage; finding pleasure in food; movement,
motivation and activity; planning ahead and lots of divine, contemporary
recipes. And it has the hip look and feel to make it an irresistible,
pick-me-up publication. Joanna is one of Australia s best-known
nutrition and healthy lifestyle experts. She is a regular on the Nine
Network and the official nutritionist for TODAY. Joanna is an author of
several books including the award winning Inner Health Outer Beauty and
the internationally published The Low GI Diet, has a weekly column in
Sunday Life and blogs for Essential Kids. Her accent gives her away as a
Scot, but she made Australia her home in 1999 where she subsequently
gained her PhD in nutritional science from the University of Sydney. Her
university studies started with psychology, followed by a Bachelor of
Science, all the while working as a fitness instructor, which she did
for over 15 years. Together this gives her a holistic approach to health
and wellbeing, and the best thing is she never sits on the health high
horse! As a down-to-earth Scot, all her advice is tempered by what is
practical, doable and fun whilst still giving the desired result. Joanna
is vice-president of the Australian Lifestyle Medicine Association
(ALMA) and a member of Dietitians Association of Australia and The
Nutrition Society. .
