7-COLOR CUISINE: A Cookbook & Nutrition Guide
publisher: SquareOne, New York, NY, Fall 2008
Making healthy, colorful foods a lifestyle for nutrition and good eating
Following Marcia’s simple, four-step system to plan menus, shop for top-quality ingredients, and prepare and savor beautiful, healthful meals is like having a personal nutritional coach in your kitchen.
And it’s as easy as counting your colors. Rainbow colors and earthy tan reveal the phytonutrient pedigrees of particular foods. Creamy white dairy, fish and poultry contain healing zoonutrients.
The color-based plan here guides us to food selections that help us look and feel our best. “It is the perfect antidote for those who have viewed food as the enemy or have never known what it’s like to feel fully satisfied by what’s just been eaten,” Marcia writes of her system. “What you eat becomes part of you through digestive transformation--something many of us don’t want to think about. Yet food can satisfy your deepest psychological, neurological and social being--provided you choose a variety of high-quality and colorful food and follow the book's guidelines.”

EAT YOUR COLORS, Maximize Your Health by Eating the Right Foods for Your Body Type
publisher: Henry Holt, New York, NY, 2001008
The ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine meets up-to-the-minute nutritional science in a clever, colorful guide to matching diet and body type.
Marcia takes the mystery and complexity out of healthy eating and makes it simple. Eat Your Colors is a health and nutrition guide based on the idea that everyone fits into one of three body types. Identifying each type by a simple color -- red, yellow, or green. She provides a questionnaire to help readers determine their primary and complementary colors and explains which foods are best for which color types. For example, reds do very well on a vegetarian diet, yellows need some animal protein to feel their best, and greens will reap benefits from pungent foods and strong spices.
Eat Your Colors is filled with information on such news-making topics as phytoestrogens, which can reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancer; lutein and zeaxonthin, which protect the eyes of computer users and prevent the common eye disorder macular degeneration; and anthocyanidins, which reduce inflammation in cases of chronic disease. And it offers practical, easy-to-follow advice on: --creating meal plans using the optimal foods for each color--using herbs, spices, sauces, and condiments to balance off-colors--discovering color weaknesses and combating them by eating the right foods
(In addition to the U.S., other language versions are now available in the Netherlands, France, Poland, Britain, Thailand, Spain, and Japan.)
