Indie Book Awards Crowns Wellness 100 a Winner!

May 23, 2013 - PRLog -- The largest nonprofit awards program for independent authors and publishers has named Wellness 100: 100 Carbs/100 Recipes (http://wellness100.us/) the Diet/Nutrition/Food category winner for 2013. The healthy lifestyle and cookbook by Dahlonega’s Dr. Amber French and chef Kari Morris offers sound, easy-to-understand nutritional advice as well as one hundred vibrant, flavorful recipes that will help readers make smart food choices for a lifetime of health.  

The first place award will be presented by the Next Generation Indie Book Awards on May 29 at the official reception in New York City. A representative from BQB will be present at the ceremony to accept the award on behalf of French and Morris. Wellness 100 will also be on display at Book Expo America (BEA). Booksellers, reviewers, educators, and librarians attending North America’s largest publishing event can find the book at the BEA New Title Showcase and at New Leaf Distributing booth 1215.  

At the heart of Wellness 100 is a balanced carbohydrate program that encourages readers to count healthy carbs, not eliminate them. As the authors explain, following a balanced diet that includes 100 grams of carbs a day, as well as proteins and fats, has many benefits including weight loss, maintaining better overall health, slowing down the aging process, and preventing damage that leads to heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes.

Wellness 100 has also won the attention and praise of Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant and his wife, who call the program “enlightening,” “inspirational,” and “beyond delicious.”
