There are some wonderful programs for bariatric patients that now exist around the country. This was not always the case. More and more there are clinics and hospitals that are focused on the long-term success of their bariatric patients, which includes providing the information and resources necessary to succeed. Livliga is blessed to be included as a resource for many of these institutions and their patients. This is the case for a new cookbook available at the Comprehensive Weight Management Program at the University of Utah Health.
This new cookbook, Half the Stomach, Twice the Taste: Cooking for a Bariatric Lifestyle is authored by Hilary Cutler, MS, RD, CSOWM, CD and Emily Tieu, MS, RD, CSOWM, CD. It is clear that these two dedicated and talented registered dietitians are committed to supporting their patients’ success. The cookbook is evidence of this commitment. The cookbook is set up so that bariatric patients can understand how each recipe can be adapted to fit into each step of their journey depending on how many weeks out they are from their surgery. Each recipe has an accompanying photo so it is possible to visually understand the recipe as well as see how appealing it is intended to be. It is wonderful to note that the majority of the recipes were taken using Livliga’s Just Right Set® bariatric.
The authors and the University of Utah Health graciously allowed us to share the recipe and photo below from the cookbook. It is a breakfast recipe. There are also recipes for lunch, dinner, snacks and protein shakes.
