HERVEY Bay health writer and nutritionist Honor Tremain has just released A Diet in Paradise, a cutting-edge diet, health and recipe book.

The first-time author said the book combined holistic wisdom with the latest discoveries in the science world on nutrition, with experts from all over the world contributing their research.

"I wanted the book to be an in-depth look at how you could eat to substantially boost your health and reach your ideal weight, but I also wanted it to be a visual feast and celebration of not only healthy foods and recipes, but the paradise we have all around us here in Hervey Bay, which is why it's called A Diet in Paradise," Ms Tremain said.

She said A Diet in Paradise was "not just another diet book" but focused on finding the healthiest way to eat and live long-term.

"Finding your greatest health and ideal weight is so often more complicated than simply calories in versus calories out, which most people would have found, so I have also used specific foods that have been scientifically uncovered to trigger weight loss and potentially prevent disease and premature aging," she said.

The book is available from Mary Ryan's, Enzo's on the Beach, Breathe Health Club and Go Natural Foods and www.honortremain.com.au.
