You Can Finally Get Back in Shape With These Healthy Celebrity Cookbooks

It might be hard for yourself to keep pushing towards achieving your health goals, especially once you’ve lost that motivation having pursued health targets which seem rather difficult to achieve. For many people, maintaining optimal health is their primary goal. But one should bear in mind that achieving health goals is not something that can be done overnight.

Completing any goal requires constant effort and commitment on your part. Whether you are focusing on improving your mental or physical health, your journey towards achieving that goal requires you to make significant changes in your overall lifestyle.

Although many dieticians profess that exercise is an integral part of that journey, however, following a balanced diet is just as important, if not more. There is no doubt that you should be consuming healthy foods, but it’s easier said than done.

Unhealthy food options are readily available over the counter and seem both more delicious and convenient than healthy food options which you would probably have to make at home.

If only salads or healthy snacks were this delicious or as readily available, we are sure sticking to a healthy diet would not have been as big of a challenge.

Such healthy food options are usually neither as tasty nor as convenient to have as unhealthy food options.

They usually require you to make them with your own hands, and making your own meal after a long and hectic work day is a challenging task for anyone. Not only that, but the stress of coming up with ideas about healthy foods is also a hassle which any working individual would like to avoid.

Thankfully, we have celebrities to look towards for inspiration as many of them have their own cookbooks containing interesting, delicious, yet healthy recipes.

The Clean Plate

Gwyneth Paltrow’s famous cookbook titled The Clean Plate is all about healthy food options. Paltrow is a renowned actress famous for her roles in films like Emma, Shakespeare in Love, and Iron Man. In her cookbook, she has shared her love for food, particularly the aspect that healthy eating can help in healing your body.

The recipes included in the book are designed to ultimately hit the reset button on your eating habits, and focus on mixing healthy ingredients with mouthwatering flavors. They are categorized according to taste.

For example, a wide variety of recipes are included in different sections titled desserts, dinner ideas, and cocktails. A major focus of these recipes is on both detoxing the body as well as maintaining a healthy weight.

Considering how healthy actress Gwyneth Paltrow looks, we are willing to put our trust in her recipes.

Cravings: Hungry for More

Chrissy Teigen, who is known for having appeared in different publications of Glamour, Vogue, and Cosmopolitan over the years, has surprised the world with her cookbook called Cravings: Hungry for More.

Teigen has worked as a food stylist on the famous TV show FABLife, created by Tara Banks. This cookbook is all about her love for food and contains recipes that she prefers to eat and make for her own self.

The recipes are healthy and focus on the nutritional value of the ingredients used. However, these recipes also focus on taste and describe the food as a means of healing the body. There are also some rather unhealthy recipes in there since Teigen has always believed in allowing oneself to indulge on special occasions, as, according to her, it is necessary if you hope to stick with your diet plan.
