Maybe you want to control your weight, combat high cholesterol, or fight heart disease. Perhaps your doctor suggested a low fat diet, or perhaps you just know you should eat better. Whatever your reason, this is the cookbook to get you moving in the right direction. The good news is that eating more healthfully isn’t boring anymore; it means bringing taste, fun, and variety to what you eat. And The American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook, a treasure trove of nearly 200 recipes, is proof. From tempting appetizers like Crab Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce to amazing main courses like Peppery Beef with Blue Cheese Sauce and luscious desserts like Sugar-Dusted Mocha Brownies, the appealing recipes and sound science in this book make healthful eating easy.

With the new American Heart Association dietary guidelines and all the latest information on cholesterol, this book is an invaluable reference for the health-conscious consumer. It tells in simple terms how cholesterol affects the body, differentiates between “good” and “bad” cholesterol, and discusses cholesterol-lowering drugs. Eating the American Heart Association way is sensible, healthful, and delicious.

Elevator music with a beat 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I need a more pronounced beat in my walking, and music that's easier to listen to, or at least doesn't make me feel like I'm in the elevator going up to see the cardiologist instead of trying to postpone the visit for a few years.

Editorial Review:

The definitive resource for developing cardiac rehabilitation programs

Keeping pace with rapid changes in the field, the fourth edition of Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs has been completely revised, including a new chapter on nutrition and plant-based diets as a treatment option in cardiac rehabilitation. This definitive book provides the most current models for designing and updating rehabilitation programs for patients and preventing a second episode. You’ll find the latest information on changes in lifestyle behaviors and reduction of risk factors for disease progression and necessary information for softening the impact of cardiovascular disease on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality.

Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs, Fourth Edition, addresses the cost effectiveness of interventions that educate and motivate patients to assume personal responsibility for long-term disease prevention. There’s a new model for managing the disease through education, risk factor intervention, exercise, and symptom recognition, plus a management model that covers related chronic diseases including diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis, and cancer.

Special features of the text include the following:
• Chapter objectives to help readers quickly assess the topics covered and identify the most important points
• Boxed guidelines in each chapter covering current issues and providing hints and methods to implement treatment programs and help patients stay on track
• 24 appendixes with questionnaires, charts, consent forms, protocols, records, checklists, and logs you can use when creating or assessing programs

Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs, Fourth Edition, was developed by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) and parallels federal guidelines for cardiac rehabilitation programs. This book is the definitive resource for developing inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs.

A Winner for Beginners 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

As someone who's followed a low-fat diet for almost 10 years, I'm always looking for new ideas. This book isn't it. However, I remember the struggles we went through when we were just starting out with low-fat eating, and I wish I'd had this book then. I especially liked the fact that it encouraged readers to work toward better eating habits slowly. The concept of adding a couple new habits each week for six weeks looks like a real winner to me. That said, I did get a couple good tips from the book, and I've just loaned my copy to a friend who's pre-diabetic. For someone who'd like to eat better and make the process as painless as possible, this is a good place to start.

This book changed my life!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I read this book about a year and a half ago and have since lost 55 pounds! Everything in this book makes so much sense, you'd be a fool not to follow it. Everyone asks me what sort of diet I went on to lose the weight and everyone gets the same response from me, "I never went on a diet, I changed my life." That is the whole essence of the food and exercise parts of this book. It focuses on "life changes" rather than dieting. I had already quit smoking about a year before reading this book, but even that section was helpful to me. If you're ready for a life change... READ THIS BOOK!
