Description:
Have you felt overwhelmed by the fasting and church services of Lent?
Have you run out of steam, gained weight, felt despondent, or all-of-the-above, soon after beginning the Lenten journey?
The HealthyFast Lenten Guidebook, created by Dr. Sr. Vassa Larin in collaboration with Greek Orthodox certified nutritionist Denise Canellos, MS, CNS, is intended as an aid to anyone who feels ill-equipped to keep up with the liturgical and dietary complexities of the Byzantine-Rite tradition(s) of Lent. Complete with a Lenten Calendar, Shopping List, detailed meal plans, recipes, nutrition tips, and daily devotions for every day of Lent, this program offers the modern-day reader with spiritual and physical accompaniment through every day of the Lenten journey.
