About this title

Synopsis

The TQI Diet (short for To Quiet Inflammation) began as The Abascal Way in 2007. This simple but sophisticated diet quickly reduces aches and pains, improves the symptoms of chronic illnesses, helps with weight issues, and increases well-being. There is a TQI Diet planbook that explains the diet itself. This is its partner cookbook, for the first time available separately.

The TQI cookbook was created to help people implement the TQI Diet. It provides recipes for a variety of vegetable dishes and pleasing breakfasts. There are only a few recipes for chicken, fish, tofu and grain dishes because most already have favorite recipes for them that work well on the TQI Diet with at most minor substitutions. What most people lack are delicious vegetable dishes with interesting sauces and dressings. The goal is to help the vegetables become the stars of our meals. That in turn will make healthy eating both easier and more enjoyable.

About the Author

Over the decades, beginning back as a student at UC Berkeley, I have followed research on health and food closely but, despite that knowledge, I eventually found my own health faltering. I gained weight, my blood pressure crept up, my shoulders froze, and my joints started to bother me. When I hadfinally had enough, I sat down and developed an eating plan that quickly restored my health. I was frankly amazed at how powerful food can be and immediately began teaching others how to eat to quiet inflammation. That was back in 2007. I continue to teach the TQI Diet and am consistently inspired by the fabulous results my students are able to achieve. I am also proud that science continues to validate the premises of the TQI Diet and that many of my students now come referred by their health care practitioners who have seen many of their patients improve dramatically when they start following the TQI Diet.
