#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Giada De Laurentiis shares how her unique approach to wellness completely transformed her relationship with food—featuring 100 recipes to boost gut health and immunity and nourish your mind, body, and spirit.

This book is the culmination of a ten-year journey. . . .  I’ve made a conscious effort to take control of my health because it had finally become impossible to ignore the fact that the choices (or lack thereof ) I’d been making for the past twenty years just weren’t working for me anymore.

In Giada’s most personal book yet, she gives you an inside look at her path to wellness and how she maintains a balanced life. Giada walks you through how to select food that can actually make you feel better and curate a personalized wellness routine to support a healthy mind and body. She shows you her own process of reconfiguring her diet to control inflammation—and how you can use the same steps to turn your life around. Giada also includes information on how to use complementary wellness tactics like intermittent fasting, meditation, and other self-care routines to optimize your well-being.
 
Giada devotes an entire chapter to her 3-day reboot—which she follows several times a year—and offers more than two dozen dairy-free, sugar-free, and gluten-free recipes to accompany the plan, as well as a 21-day menu outline that makes good, healthy cooking easy to implement at home. Even though it’s so much more than a cookbook, Eat Better, Feel Better also offers 100 new recipes, ​from Italian-influenced ones like Fusilli with Chicken and Broccoli Rabe and Pan-Roasted Pork Chops with Cherry and Red Wine Sauce to her everyday healthy favorites including Quinoa Pancakes; Sheet Pan Parmesan Shrimp and Veggies; Roasted Cauliflower and Baby Kale Salad; and Chocolate and Orange Brown Rice Treats. 
 
Eat Better, Feel Better is the perfect jumpstart to wellness.

Introduction


This book is the culmination of a ten-year journey, an exploration that not so coincidentally took place between my fortieth and fiftieth birthdays. Over the last decade I’ve made a conscious effort to take control of my health because it had finally become impossible to ignore the fact that the choices (or lack thereof) I’d been making for the past twenty years just weren’t working for me anymore.

A lot of factors brought me to this point. My forties were an incredible career-building period: I opened three restaurants and launched a website and e-commerce business, all while shooting multiple cooking shows in LA, NYC, and Italy and raising a daughter as a single mom. It seemed the harder I worked, the more opportunities I was offered, and I didn’t want to let any of them slip away. But each new obligation meant I was spread a little thinner—always on a plane, in a car, grabbing what food and rest I could when I could. I was chronically sleep deprived, and a couple of minutes on a hotel treadmill were as close as I came to an exercise routine. Some days I barely ate enough to keep me going. I was finally attaining the kind of success I’d never even dreamed of, but a lot of the time I was too depleted to enjoy it.

And let’s not forget, as a woman, knocking on the door of fifty brings its own special challenges. Along with the wisdom of experience and a newfound confidence come the joys of a slower metabolism, hormonal fluctuations, and a host of physical changes, from loss of muscle mass to deepening crows’ feet and wrinkles. And it’s not only those of us who spend many of our days with a camera pointed in our direction who struggle with these changes; everyone wants to look and feel their best. 

Tricks that had always helped me cope under pressure and compensate for too much travel, interrupted sleep, irregular and sometimes unhealthy meals—usually sugar in some form—now just made me feel more exhausted. Stress was omnipresent. My digestion became so sluggish and unpredictable that some days I could barely function. On top of that, my immunity was shot; I found myself getting sick constantly, and I couldn’t bounce back the way I did when I was younger. I just felt like I had nothing left in the tank. I realized that if I didn’t prioritize my health above the hundred other things vying for my attention, I would only continue to feel worse, not better.

So, I made changes to the way I eat—big ones. I learned to really listen to my gut and, more importantly, to respect what it was telling me instead of ignoring it or trying to figure out a workaround that would let me eat the way I always had. I came up with a program that gave my digestive system a chance to recover and heal (more on that on page 57), and an approach to eating that let my body work a little less hard at processing what I ate so it could spend more of its resources on keeping me healthy and active.

I’m not a doctor, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but one thing I know for sure is that I feel better today than I did at thirty-five. I wasn’t far into this journey before it became crystal clear to me that it all starts with food. Once I rethought the way I ate and how my body processes the fuel I feed it, it was easier to fit restorative practices like meditation, consistent exercise, and better sleep into my life. The funny thing was, far from making my days feel even more overscheduled, these self-care efforts actually created more room and freedom in my life—because I felt good so much more of the time, I had more productive hours in a day.

None of this transformation would have been possible without true and lasting changes to what I eat and how I think about food. In this book I share the recipes and philosophy that I followed—and continue to practice—to reset my digestive health, restore my gut’s ability to work at peak capacity, and keep my immune system strong. My approach minimizes foods known to cause inflammation and nurtures the delicate ecosystem of the gut rather than stressing it out with toxins and irritants. And while this is not a weight- loss plan, I wouldn’t be surprised if prioritizing some of these gut-friendly foods for a few weeks—or longer, if you like the way they make you feel—results in a corresponding de-emphasis on the foods that make you feel clogged up, bogged down, and heavy (spoiler: many of them are high in fat, carbs, and calories!). If you eat well most of the time, you may also find that when you do stray (it happens to the best of us), recovery will become more intuitive and less depleting. 

Most of us will live to a ripe old age these days; the question is, what quality of life will you enjoy along the way? Wherever you are on this journey, you face a crossroads every time you put dinner on the table, or choose to flip through your phone rather than do a few minutes of yoga or meditation. I’m here to be your guide, your rooting section, and your translator as you learn to listen to your gut and use that feedback to chart your own path to wellness. I’m not gonna lie; it’s not easy to change the way you think about food, but I’m better for it every day, and you will be too. In the chapters that follow you’ll find a wealth of flavorful and uncomplicated recipes that will help reset your gut, twenty-one days of meal plans to help you make eating smarter a habit rather than a “diet,” and all the lessons I’ve learned about what makes me feel stronger, healthier, and well fed, in both senses of the word.

Buon appetito—and buona salute!
Xo, Giada

As I work night shift, sometimes my mornings are in the afternoon. Upside down. My package came in the mail two days ago , I pulled the book out of the bag and started to flip the cover- already loving the spiral version- and read the intro on the inside cover. The next page has the picture of Giada and her ,I presume, daughter. Upside down, as are the index pages that follow, and all of the rest. More afternoon ‘morning’ coffee was sipped and I laughingly showed my mother the upside down and backwards presentation of our Eat Better, Feel Better book. The only thing that would make this better, is an autograph that is also upside down and backwards, 😁😂😁. Only four stars so far because I have not tried any of the recipes yet, but the laugh was greatly appreciated!

I love this Giada cookbook, this is my second copy as I lost another one to water damage. Wonderful recipes that even my husband loves. Quick, healthy ideas and some longer recipes too. The baked chicken is in our permanent rotation of recipes along with the Beyond Meat pasta recipe. Thanks Giada :)

5.0 out of 5 stars One Gorgeous Cookbook Filled with Great and Healthy Recipes
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021

Giada's cookbooks have long been a favorite of mine. I don't use cookbooks all that often. I am a trained chef and my approach is to buy ingredients that look good when at the store and figure out what to make later--using my own background of knowledge and creativity. But, when I do use a cookbook, it is often one of Giada's. They are all beautifully made and feature dishes of my favorite cuisine. The recipes are usually neither overly complex or obscure. But, I don't consider a lot of the recipes in those cookbooks because many of the recipes include and often feature meat. I don't eat beef or pork. So, this new cookbook is just perfect for me. We are now of like minds when it comes to preparing healthy food. She begins by telling the story of how she arrived at this new healthy food philosophy. In doing so, she shows a very human side of herself. She has developed a diet that is stricter and healthier than what I have been doing. I am not at this time about to adopt her suggestions entirely, but, the beauty of the cookbook is that one can go whole hog (a pun), try out a more moderate path, or just pick and choose recipes that catch the eye. One can ignore the healthy philosophy behind all of this, skip the first chapters, and go straight to trying out recipes. I have never been disappointed in any dish I have made using one of her cookbooks. Great that she has added a lot of healthy alternatives and meat-free dishes to her vast collection of recipes.

I'm loving this book so far, but it's definitely a wellness/lifestyle book versus a cookbook. You won't get a lot of inspired culinary creations, but you will get a wonderful collection of recipes geared at making you feel really good. Intuitive eating has taught me that filling up on nutrient dense foods really does impact how you feel, and it doesn't mean you can't still eat everything else you love. I have every single one of Giada's cookbooks and I still plan to try and cook my way through all of them!! But this new book offers some great ideas for nutrient packed meals and recipes. Although the recipes are simple, I appreciate having someone else put meal ideas together for me. Even simple recipes feel inspiring since I don't always have a creative mind when it comes to cooking tasty food. I've enjoyed what I've made so far and definitely recommend this book for easy and healthful recipes. If you know what you're buying, you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good information and healthy recipes
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2021

First I want to mention that first 1/4 of this book is about Giada’s health issues from her eating habits and the 10 year journey she took to feeling better from the food she ate. Then it goes into starting out on your own journey of eating better with sample menus and a 3 day reboot cleanse. Another reviewer incorrectly said that only 1/3 of the book was recipes-this is not true! 3/4 the book is recipes. If you are looking to improve your life by eating better, this is the book for you! A lot of great recipes from sheet pan Parmesan shrimp with vegetables, Beyond Plant based Bolognese and stuffed peppers to a steak salad and a lean and clean” chapter with lots of Vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. I am honestly surprised by the bad reviews! This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it if you want to improve your eating habits.

I've always loved Giada's recipes and her cooking style, but this book is next level. I love the personal information she shared about her journey to eat better & feel better - it really made me feel like I could take control of my gut health too. The recipes are amazing and truly delicious, despite being "healthified" - you'd never know the dairy & gluten is missing! I enjoy the opportunity to try some new ingredients and cooking methods also. Enjoying this book so much I ordered my mom a copy for her birthday! 10/10!
