STICKING A FORK IN BAD EATING HABITS

When it comes to healthy food, few people are more knowledgeable than Teresa Cutter.

The Sydney, Australia, resident studied nutrition at Deakin University and has more than 25 years of experience as a chef. She combined those passions and created The Healthy Chef, a company that produces delicious, functional food products to help people achieve optimal health. Simply put, she has become a trusted household name in the world of nutrition.

And she practices what she preaches. Organic chicken, fish, organic eggs, broccoli and smoothies are all a big part of her daily meal plan.

“Healthy eating keeps me sane,” she said. “I subscribe to the 80-20 philosophy. I will have an occasional slice of apple pie or chocolate cake, but 80 percent of the time, I eat healthy. Incorporating healthy eating into your lifestyle takes time, discipline and hard work, but you’ll feel great and your body will thank you.”

Teresa will spread that message with her self-published book “The Healthy Chef: Purely Delicious,” which is expected to be released in several months. The book will feature 230 of Teresa’s favorite recipes and also contains lots of nutritional facts.

“More than 500,000 people visit my website each month,” said Teresa, who has authored five previous books. “People are hungry for nutritional information and are looking for something different. I hope my latest book motivates and inspires people to eat healthy and strive to live an overall healthier lifestyle.”
