About this item
Melissa Joulwan is the author of the best-selling "Well Fed" cookbook series and the award-winning blog "www.MelJoulwan.com," where she writes about her triumphs and failures in the gym, in the kitchen, and in life. Her newest cookbook is "Well Fed Weeknights: Complete Paleo Meals in 45 Minutes Or Less" (November 1, 2016). After a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and food as the enemy, Melissa found the paleo diet in 2009 and has been happily following it ever since. That year, she also underwent a thyroidectomy. In the aftermath of the surgery and recovery, she became particularly interested in how diet affects hormones, body composition, mood, and motivation. These days, Melissa s workouts are just as likely to include yoga and meditation as lifting heavy things and sprinting to stay ahead of the stopwatch.
