PREFACE
The Wellness Lifestyle: A Chef s Recipe for Real Life is a marriage of food and fitness and was written to assist those obsessed with food and struggling with daily physical activity. Who qualifies? Anyone who collects cookbooks, buys quick-fix exercise books, watches cooking shows and weight-loss programs, or makes it a priority in life to dine in the newest, trendiest restaurants, all while struggling with the buttons, zippers, and snaps in the morning when getting dressed for work on Monday. Chefs, who are obviously obsessed with food, will also love this book. The guests in our restaurants eat our cooking occasionally; we are tempted by bacon fat, foie gras , and caviar every day. Chefs eat, drink, and sleep their cuisine 24/7 and must learn how to balance their pleasures and their pounds. People who love to eat, professional chefs, and amateur cooks will find the book educational, entertaining, and inspirational. People who need to learn how to move their bodies will find Chef D and Dr. K s plan appealing and easy to fit into everyday life. The Wellness Lifestyle: A Chef s Recipe for Real Life is a recording of a successful shift in lifestyle by one of America s best chefs. It s a fulfilling recipe for people interested in losing weight without losing out on one of life s greatest pleasures: food! Chef D wants to teach you how to saut off the pounds (SOTP) with this new style of healthy cooking he has developed for the MyTendWell program.
Break the routine and get on the regime! - Real Food by Daniel Orr
The Wellness Lifestyle: A Chef s Recipe for Real Life was born in the Caribbean through a series of twenty articles written for The Anguillian , the national newspaper of Anguilla, the island where Chef Orr cooked in 2004 and 2005. In his column, Eating My Words, Chef D shared his adventures in dieting and healthy eating in the kitchens of CuisinArt Resort and Spa with the people of Anguilla. These articles make up the basis for the lifestyle plan. Chef D invited Dr. Kelly Jo Baute to bring the book full circle by developing the wellness programming of the exercise material to ensure it is the most up-to-date information and that the nutrition plan is a safe way of eating.
The numbers of chronic, and costly, health issues are skyrocketing. Type 2 diabetes is on the rise, and by the year 2025, two-thirds of the US population will be diagnosed with a debilitating disease-a completely preventable disease. Dr. K stands behind this lifestyle philosophy for preventing disease and improving overall quality of life. Families that adopt this active, healthy, and positive lifestyle will be giving their children a wellness upbringing.
This has been a long and winding road for Chef D, and he continues to work on his goal of having a healthier lifestyle and control over all the temptations that life throws at him. There have been many detours and roadblocks along the way: opening a new business, the roller-coaster economy, family issues, life, death, personal challenges, outside pressures. You know-life. Staying on track is one of the biggest issues with making long-term lifestyle changes. Chef D and Dr. K understand this and have created a lifestyle plan that moves you toward your goal, even if it takes longer than you would hope. It s like riding a bike, right? If you fall off, it is easier to get back on if you know what you are doing, even if you have a few Band-Aids on your wounds. Those battle scars make us who we are. Come join us on the ride!

The Wellness Lifestyle and the Saut ing Off the Pounds Kitchen are, in the proverbial nutshell:
Balancing protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Eating more local, organic, and naturally produced foods
Consuming more complex carbohydrates and fewer refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, muffins, crackers, and bagels
Consuming more fruits, vegetables, fiber, legumes, and whole grains
Reducing consumption of sweets, sugars, carbonated beverages, juices, and caffeine
Consuming more fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, leaner grass-fed and pastured meats, and eliminating processed meat and meat produced with hormones
Eliminating processed foods with additives, GMOs, and coloring agents
Reducing/eliminating snack foods, frozen foods, and canned foods
Reducing intake of saturated fats while increasing intake of unsaturated fats
Eliminating consumption of trans and hydrogenated fats totally
Decreasing portion sizes of proteins and increasing whole grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits
Reducing heavy alcohol intake
Drinking the proper amount of water per day depending on body size and amount of movement
Increasing healthy and safe movement, and setting a date with yourself for some type of moving daily
Most important, sharing physical activity, food, wine, and the pleasures of the table with the ones you love
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Chef D and Dr. K would like to thank families and friends for their support and encouragement during the development of the MyTendWell Lifestyle Plan and the writing of this book.
Big thanks to Ali Sohrabi, the GM at FARMbloomington Restaurant, and his hard working FOH managers. Chef Chris Hoppie and sous chefs Ryan Johnson, Chelsi Field, and J. Brandon Shepard-you all are the best. Thanks/gracias to all the FARMhands for their support and care. Teamwork makes the dream work. They all stepped up and allowed Chef D to take the time to finish this tome.
Many meetings and work sessions were at FARMbloomington Restaurant, and the FARMhands went above and beyond the call of duty. Great food and service! Chef D s work wife Ginny Henderson was, and is, always amazing-even with her poor taste in music
As always, Mary Lu Orr (a.k.a. Mom) has put up with our shenanigans. She has allowed us to take over her kitchen, home, and gardens for months on end. She has tasted the food, corrected our English, done the dishes, made quick trips to the market, and looked over the fact that there is a giant monitor and snaking computer cords taking over her breakfast nook.
Thanks to the local farmers who work so hard to put the wonderful products in our larder; we would not be able to eat as well without you.
We would also like to thank David Porter for his enthusiasm for life, countless technological tips and guidance, and photography and videography contributions. A thank you also goes out to Ellen Olmstead for her exceptional contributions of friendship, photography, and videography.
Additional thanks go to Liz Porter, Mary Beth Porter, Peter Magurean III, John B. Shea, PhD, Cindy Bradley, Linda Oblack, Krista Hill, and others.
And finally to Ashley Runyon, David Hulsey, Peggy Solic, and everyone at Red Lightning Press for taking our beautiful baby, sending it through grammar school, and giving it a facelift-it wouldn t be as pretty with all the wrinkles.
Chef D:
Many thanks to Elizabeth DiMeo who helped me get started on this project many years ago while I was still in Manhattan; her passion and knowledge were inspiring and instrumental. Now many years and a roller-coaster ride up and down the bathroom scales later, I m happy to have found some answers. Things have changed on the landscape of health and wellness. Thanks for getting me on the path.
A big meow out to the two kitties in my life, the Tuxedo Twins, Cooper and Conner.
Thank you, Christopher Brown.
Dr. K:
Dr. K would like to, first and foremost, thank her two boys, Levi and Kyle. They are the ones who always give the most when their mom is working on her projects. All I do is for them.
Dr. K would also like to thank her mom, Shelley, as all she does is for her children. And, finally, to Dr. John Shea for his exceptional academic training and poor professional advice.

Introduction
The MyTendWell Lifestyle Plan
CHEF D S JOURNEY
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Eat it up!
The classic image of a chef is a round, jolly man with one hand s finger in the pot and the other hand holding a wine glass. That guy usually dies around the age of 45 owing $500K to the bank! But that is the way chefs have been for hundreds of years until those food nazis and health authorities came up with the fake news that eating properly gives you a longer and more productive life. The problem is that the facts have been scientifically demonstrated and now most of us can no longer have our alternative facts. A healthy eating and movement regime has truly become food for thought for us all. Death and taxes I can deal with. The two words any bon vivant shudders
