The Naked Foods Cookbook is filled with delicious recipes and creative ideas for how to take charge of your health in your own kitchen. Its mandatory reading for all of my patients. Healthy, conscious eating never tasted so good!

James Barry and Margaret Floyd have forever altered what happens in our kitchen, as well as our eating choices when we dine outside the home. Their recipes are both delicious and nutritious and offer novel and unique flavors for the senses. The information and recipes in The Naked Foods Cookbook have helped eliminate years of mild gastritis and acid reflux. Thus, I no longer have the need for antacids and blockers. My ten-year-old daughter loves the food and always asks that we prepare more kale chips! She also eats delicious vegetables at every meal.

Ashton Smith, voice-over artist

Ive been eating these meals for the last few months and I love them. Ive lost weight, I feel lighter, I have more energy, and I feel better overall. Who knew eating well could actually taste this good?!

Glenn Howerton, actor/writer/producer

I cannot say enough about the positive changes that have come my way since switching over to the naked lifestyle. My meals are fresh and delicious and I know I am only putting the healthiest and purest foods into my body. Not only do I feel amazing, but I was also able to lose all the baby weight I gained after the birth of my second child. I see no reason to eat over-processed food when there is a simple way to feed myself and my family nourishing meals.

Kerry Armstrong, busy mother and producer of The Moth StorySLAMS

Life-changing in terms of my health and fitness, this book has shown me how healthy eating can positively affect my quality of life. I have never had a healthier or more positive relationship with my body! I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, delicious, unprocessed way of eating that ensures higher energy and constant satisfaction.

Jeanine Mason, dancer and actress
