Excerpt from the Foreword by Peyton Manning:
Getting fit is not something that happens overnight, or even something that is really ever finished. For athletes like me, staying fit and healthy is a full time job. Setting goals, eating smarter and getting active are the keys to getting started and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Healthy eating can be a tricky thing, and it doesn’t mean you can never eat the not so healthy foods you love. Menu Makeovers is a cookbook designed to promote healthy eating while still enabling you to eat the foods you love at home. I hope you enjoy the recipes provided here and have a good time cooking with your parents. Remember, if you start with a balanced diet, you can have your cake and eat it too, as long as you are eating the foods that keep you fit and healthy.
