Editorial Review:

Those familiar with Dr. Shapiro's bestselling Picture Perfect Weight Loss know how simple and effective his Food Awareness Training approach is, especially for grab-and-go eaters or people who just can't deal with the usual deprivations of dieting. Virtually foolproof, the Picture-Perfect program reinforces your choices of healthy foods with strong visual reminders that stay in your mind long after calorie counts and portion sizes have become a blur.

Now, Dr. Shapiro works the same Picture-Perfect magic in your kitchen. Whether you are a passionate cook who gladly spends hours stirring, chopping, or kneading, or a noncook who can't wait to get out of the kitchen, the recipes in this book allow you to prepare delicious low-calorie meals the whole family will love.

Imagine enjoying these flavorful dishes and losing weight.

* Yukon Gold Potato Pancakes with Sausage
* Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
* Chili Shrimp with Fruity Relish
* Grilled Pork Chops with Georgia Peach Chutney
* Garlic and Chive Mashed Potatoes
* Chocolate Mousse
* Creamy Lemon-Lime Cheesecake

There's even a chapter devoted entirely to cooking for families with children. Kids will rave over dishes like Fruit Pizza, Turkey Burgers with Secret Sauce, Summer Fruit Pops, and Carousel Ice Cream Cake. They may even want to start helping in the kitchen!

To appeal to the gourmet in all of us, Dr. Shapiro also includes recipes from 13 of the nation's top chefs. From Michael Romano of Union Square Café in New York City to Jesse Ziff Cool of the Flea St. Café in Menlo Park, California, these are the best of the best.

You also get real-life bites from New York City firefighters who have used Dr. Shapiro's program to shape up. Real men do cook-- and well! And this book proves that they even enjoy it.

Eat like the elites, run like the elites 5 out of 5 stars.

I enjoy this really cute and quirky book, it's unlike anything you can find online, and it's neat to see what your favorite elites eat. And it benefits a great cause!

Not your usual cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.

I can imagine, in the big corporate publishing cubicles, someone saying, "We need a cookbook for runners. What athletes' pictures can we put next to these recipes?" And that's nothing whatever like The Runner's Cookbook, which might be the most honest cookbook you'll meet about runners. It's a hundred-plus pages of athletes telling us about their favorite "real" food (one recipe by an Olympian who will remain un-named by me includes the instructions, "follow the directions on the box", and another recipe is purposefully vague about how much of a bottle of beer goes in the recipe and how much is consumed by the cook). The athletes included range from Olympic medalists and national record holders all over the world (at least two former World Record holders that I remember) to American up-and-comers.

The proceeds go to the Jenny Crain Make It Happen fund and the Ryan Shay Memorial Fund, but that shouldn't be the reason you get the book; it's just evidence that the editor was more interested in sharing this book than lining her pocket. You could write those organizations a check. Get the book because it's worth it, and see a side of professional athletes you otherwise might not.

Editorial Review:

The Runner's Cookbook includes 100 recipes submitted by some of the world's greatest distance runners. The book contains recipes that can be used for maximizing performance and recovery, as well as recipes for simply indulging yourself after a hard training session. All of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Ryan Shay Memorial Fund and the Jenny Crain "Make It Happen" Fund.

Editorial Review:

Dr. Phil fans should be delighted with a book of more than 100 recipes that complement his best-selling Ultimate Weight Solution and pledge to "taste better and cost less" while avoiding refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, salt, and sugars. Though your taste buds might have to readjust a bit, Dr. Phil promises that you won't find "skimpy diet-type meals that taste like wallpaper paste," nor will you have to fix separate meals for non-dieting family members. If you need structure, his "rapid start" 14-day menu plan, averaging 1200 calories/day, will get you going. You'll find updates of familiar classics with Huevos Rancheros, BLT (using turkey bacon or meatless bacon and light mayo), No-Fry Chicken-Fried Steak, Southern Oven-Fried Chicken (Grape-Nuts and egg white batter), Mac and Cheese, Guacamole (with tofu), and Three Bean Chili. Or explore new tastes with Curried Tabbouleh, Moroccan Chicken, Halibut Baked in Packets, and Asian Tofu Stew. Desserts range from Poached Pears to Apricot Cheesecake (Chocolate lovers will find Mocha Fudge Pudding, but no chocolate cake.) Recipes include a nutritional analysis: calories, protein, carbohydrates, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, sugars, and sodium. Most recipes seem heavy on meat and light on vegetables, however. --Joan Price

Title is good... NOT as good as a cookbook! 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book because of good reviews, BUT when I finally had a chance to read the book and check out the recipes, I was highly disappointed. The author listed ingredients, a sweetener, that is not readily available.

By reading a recipe and its ingredients, I can normally tell whether the dish is going to be good, with this cookbook, I just don't see it.

I've tried the Lemon custard, it was unedible!

The whole office can't be wrong! 5 out of 5 stars.
26 of 26 people found this review helpful.

Most of my dessert recipes are Julia Child-style rich, but I recently got this book from the library to see how well I could make low-fat, whole-wheat baking work (I've been baking since I was 8 and use mostly my own recipes). Yesterday I made my usual white flour, high-fat, high-sugar banana bread for my entire office, which everyone loved. Today I made the whole wheat Brown Sugar Banana Bread from the bread section of this cookbook, without the nuts, and the ENTIRE office is raving about it! Everyone ate both kinds and declared this one just as good, if not better. I also got a number of her other cookbooks and have been VERY impressed with the recipes. Definitely a must-have for any kitchen.

Editorial Review:

In her nine previous cookbook bestsellers, Sandra Woodruff proved that fat-free cooking is as easy and delicious as it is nutritious. Now, in a book that's destined to become the kitchen bible for health- conscious cooks everywhere, she's collected all of her best fat-free and low-fat recipes in a single volume.

Each of these recipes is a winner - a table-tested favorite that will please even the pickiest eaters. From Creamy Mushroom Soup to Chocolate Cherry Tunnel Cake, this is the only cookbook people need for a lifetime of healthy eating.

Living with Dietary Frucetose Intolerance 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I found this book to be very informative and helpful. It is an excellent basic guide to begin getting adjusted to DFI. There are basically no resources available for this fairly newly diagnosed disease, and this book provides some insights, "food for thought", and areas that I am exploring to see what pertains to me and what not. There can be no resource that pertains to everyone, so this provides some direction in terms of what to look for, options that may work for me, and symptoms that I might not have recognized as related to DFI. I have tried several of the recipes so far and have enjoyed many. I believe that others will find this a very useful reference book.

Excellent Guide to Little Know Diagnosis 5 out of 5 stars.

Very good summary of dietary fructose intolerance and good diet receipes that have helped the author deal with her fructose intolerance. Can also help in initial discussions with your doctor.

This guide is designed to help people struggling with Dietary Fructose Intolerance. It includes tips for adjusting your eating habits as well as recipes to help put the fun back into food.
