In this one-of-a-kind book, Dr. Rovenia M. Brock—known as Dr.
Ro? to fans of Black Entertainment Television’s Heart
Soul—reveals practical, satisfying ways for African American
women to eat healthy, get fit, and overcome weight problems and the
health risks that accompany them.
From the “Big Ten” myths about miracle weight-loss diets to how
eating the right foods can help you live longer and why soul food
if prepared properly really can be good for you, Dr. Ro shows how
many serious illnesses can be largely prevented—and even reversed.
And you don’t need Oprah’s salary to do it. Using her own inspiring
story and those of many other women as well, Dr. Ro discusses the
health, fitness, and even cultural issues that are unique to black
women, and outlines a diet and nutrition program to fit every
lifestyle.
