About this ebook
The restrictions of an anti-inflammatory diet can make eating healthy feel like deprivation. Peace of Cake offers an easy, long-term solution that doesn’t ignore the taste buds.
Anti-inflammatory health coach Jenny Carr has designed a streamlined approach to an anti-inflammatory diet that focuses on one, simple food group. On this plan, the remainder of the top inflammatory foods fall by the wayside, and a healthy lifestyle falls into place. Peace of Cake reveals how to reverse chronic health issues, including joint pain, loss of energy, poor sleep, inability to lose weight, digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, brain fog, allergies, skin conditions, and more.
Jenny Carr offers support and tips for stopping cravings in their tracks and learning how to master over forty anti-inflammatory food swap recipes that are free of processed sugar, wheat, cow dairy products, inflammatory oils, alcohol, and GMOs. The result is health-based fat loss without the need for calorie counting.
“Jenny Carr’ new masterpiece, Peace of Cake, is a FABULOUS resource that I will be sharing with all of my patients. How to swap out inflammatory ingredients that create disease with anti-inflammatory ingredients that create health and vibrancy?! Genius!” —Dr. Dana McGrady, DOM, AP, author of Magnetic Soulpreneur, physician, Better Health & Wellness Center

You are what you eat – or perhaps more accurate is you are what your stomach absorbs, and this is something that I use in my clinical practice every day. Jenny Carr does a great job teaching the most important aspect of health using her own experience, science, and practical know-how, and that is your food intake. This book will teach you how to eat in the real world, and will can help you gain control of your health and start living instead of merely surviving. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with their health, doesn’t know where to start with a diet, or needs parameters for health daily eating. It’s a great addition to anyone’s library and knowledge base. If you want to achieve and maintain optimal health, this is the book for you.

How To Travel & Follow Anti-Inflammatory Eating
Foreword
So many nutrition books are repeat information that it’s rare when one of them really breaks out and teaches you something in a memorable way. This is one of those books. It’s that good.
Jenny Carr came to my office as a patient in 2014. She had been studying overseas, and had become ravaged by a parasitic infection. I was fortunate to be one of the doctors who helped Jenny put her life back in order.
What sets Jenny apart is her ability to take control of and accept responsibility for her health. She walks her talk by not only writing about what she teaches, but living it. She beat the sugar addiction.
In these pages, you’ll learn about the power of water, how your emotions affect your health, how to reprogram your triggers for unhealthy foods, and even how to breathe. You’ll learn how to put your body back in harmony and balance by going to the very root of the problem, whether it’s low energy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Sjogren’s, and lupus.
Hippocrates urges us, Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
This cannot be overstated. We cannot overestimate the effect diet has on health. We have a saying in the office: You are what you eat … and if you are what you eat, are you fast, cheap, and easy?
Our fast and processed food culture has made it convenient and easy to get food that tastes good but has very little nutritional value. Worse, it can inflame us and compromise our health.
Peace of Cake is one of the best resources I’ve found for learning how to swap out unhealthy, inflammatory ingredients for healthy ones – and includes dozens of terrific recipes that walk the reader through how to do just that. You’ll learn how to make everything from healthy pancakes and refreshing drinks to the titular cake.
This book is a wonderful and much-needed information source for people struggling with both serious health conditions and people who just want more energy. I’m recommending it to all of my patients. I believe that once you read it you’ll be as big a fan of Jenny Carr as I am.

Introduction
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Hippocrates
I’m guessing you’ve tried an anti-inflammatory diet. If nothing else, you’ve likely tried bits and pieces of an anti-inflammatory diet. It seemed to help, but falling off the wagon was inevitable, and hopping back on was much more difficult than you anticipated. You know it could have had huge impact on your life, yet the protocol makes you feel deprived, and sticking with all of the rules of anti-inflammatory eating is totally overwhelming. Where do you even begin?
Peace Of Cake was written from me to you. It is for those willing to raise their game of self-care, but need a simplified process to do so. You know you need to eliminate inflammation from your body, yet you also want to be able to enjoy your favorite comfort foods, socialize with your friends, and indulge in celebrations. You are looking for lasting change in a way that is manageable and fun.
Peace Of Cake is the secret to maintaining anti-inflammatory eating. By eliminating one main ingredient and swapping it out for a non-inflammatory alternative, many of the other top inflammatory foods fall to the wayside, creating a more effective and streamlined method for eating in a way that supports your body.
Because you are reading this book, my guess is that chronic inflammation is stacking up in your body, and you know something needs to change. You might be experiencing subtle discomfort. It’s possible the discomfort has turned into a bigger issue. Your body is yelling at you to get the inflammation out. You know following an anti-inflammatory diet
