Should be Eating Healthy for Life! 5 out of 5 stars.
27 of 30 people found this review helpful.

I hate the idea that being thin is healthy. Just because you are thin doesn't mean you are healthy. That said I wanted to say that I really enjoyed this book! I read it in two days, it usually takes me a month or so to read diet books. Diet books are so boring! This isn't really a diet book but a motivating to be healthy book!
The ideas behind the book are so simple, to lose weight and to maintain that weight. There are tips in here that seem so obvious but we tend to forget, we beat ourselves up and then start the process all over again.

Editorial Review:

How to handle the tough times, from quitting smoking to having babies to dealing with pushy people. In short, you'll learn how these 'masters of weight control' get themselves to do the things we all know we should do-but can't seem to get ourselves to do-to lose weight permanently. Plus: --An easy weight-loss plan: 21 days of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks from the masters. --122 of the masters' favorite low-fat recipes-from Pineapple Right-side-Up Coffee Cake to Oven-Fried Chicken to Rich Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce.

Unreliable 2 out of 5 stars.
8 of 10 people found this review helpful.

It turns out that this is the public relations member of the Silver Palate team, not the cook. The recipes read well and some turn out to be delicious, but you can't count on it. I, for one, don't have time to spend cooking from a book that I know gives me a fifty-fifty chance for a tasty result and that contains a number of errors. I gave my copy to Goodwill.

a reliable resource for many years 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

My copy of this cookbook is well-thumbed with pages folded down and notes written in the margins, testifying to its position as my favorite cookbook for well over five years. I entertain friends for dinner on average of once a week, and many of the recipes in this book have become consistent lower-fat favorites. The breakfast recipes are especially good. The German pancake, morning glory muffins, and raspberry muffins are winners. The all green fruit salad is great, the corn and black bean salad is a never-fail, and the recipe for "A Perfect Little Spanish Cake" is partly why my husband fell in love with me when I made it for him in a heart-shaped pan for Valentine's Day when we were dating! I would never part with this cookbook.

Editorial Review:

Julee Rosso, the co-author of The Silver Palate Cookbook brings us the cookbook for the '90s, focusing on today's number-one food-health concern: reducing fat. Rosso offers a broad collection of more than 800 delicious and easy, new recipes and a treasure trove of nutritional information, gardening and shopping tips, seasonal and international menus, and food history and lore.

Very tasty recipes. 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

This book has recipes that are very good and pretty easy to make. One thing that I really appreciated was that they all use the same flour mixture, and the flour actually has nutritional value, as opposed to having 5 different flours throughout the book that you have to make, or just using a mixture of corn starch and potato starch. If you need to cook gluten-free desserts, I would highly recommend this book!

Extraordinary Gluten Free Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed the "Glazed Chocolate Fantasy" Cake. The answer to any Chocolate Lovers sweet tooth.

One out of every 133 people in the United States has celiac disease. And countless others are giving up wheat for general health concerns. These books provide taste-tested recipes for delicious meals and desserts that are all wheat-and gluten-free.

Not the book for my family 1 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Way too many of the recipes in this book have ingredients I have never heard of! Also, the ingredient lists are often very long. I am donating my copy to the public library and will use "The Moms' Guide to Meal Makeovers" and "Quick Meals for Healthy Kids and Busy Parents" to help me provide sensible meals for my family.

Great WW Recipes 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

If you're a fan of WW, you should love this book. It was written before any of the POINTS systems, so you have to do some calculations on your own. The nutrition info is provided for each recipe. This book is an especially good value because as another reviewer noted, for each main recipe, you get additional recipes provide a day's worth of meals.

I give this book four stars because I've always had to doctor my WW recipes. They tend to be on the bland side for me, but they are always good starting points. I also enjoy light cookbooks that provide tips for cutting fat and calories and this book does not. It's just recipes.

Now the experts at Weight Watchers serve up an entire year of delicious menus that will help readers enjoy the process as well.

Editorial Review:

It takes only 13 weeks—three months—one season—and you're on your way to permanent, healthy weight loss. Based on the Glycemic Index, and developed by Rick Gallop, author of the New York Times bestselling G.I. Diet, The G.I. Diet Clinic is a complete weight-loss plan that incorporates recipes, meal plans—from breakfast through a late-night snack—motivational techniques and tips, and the inspirational real life stories of dozens of participants from G.I. Diet online workshops, where the average dieter lost 26 pounds—in 13 weeks!

The claim to the G.I. Diet has always been its simplicity: If you can follow a traffic light, you can follow the diet. What Gallop does in The G.I. Diet Clinic is show not only how the specifics of the diet work, but how to survive, enjoy, and ultimately embrace a new way of eating. With a different chapter for each week, Gallop covers meal planning, and how to convert a family's favorite foods into "green light" dishes. He writes about behavior change and what to do when temptation's too strong and you temporarily fall off the wagon; here, the combination of insightful tips (distract yourself with an activity; pinpoint the exact flavor you want) and encouraging comments from fellow dieters really helps. And he discusses exercise, dining out, unrealistic expectations, emotional eating, and "the plateau"— how to stay focused and motivated enough to cross it.

Included are 65 delicious green-light recipes, from Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes, Rigatoni with Mini Meatballs, and Mushroom-and-Gravy Pork Chops to Apple Raspberry Coffee Cake and Pecan Brownies. That’s right: brownies.

Great tasting, healthy recipes which are easy to prepare. 5 out of 5 stars.
36 of 36 people found this review helpful.

Cooking is my hobby and I have had this book for over a year now and have used it many times. The recipes are very tasty, I've used many of them over and over. The low fat chocolate cheesecake is wonderful, as is the potato-cheese soup. In addition, the book starts off with a chapter on nutrition and a chapter on kitchen utensils and spices - I think both chapters would be very helpful to the novice and the experienced cook (consider myself experienced). I am now ordering this book for a friend of mine, in the past have given it to my mother, brother and mother-in- law. If I could have only one low-fat cookbook, this one would be it. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in really yummy low-fat cooking

excellent low fat cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
21 of 21 people found this review helpful.

I bought this cookbook a number of years ago, and I can honestly say that it changed the way I think about cooking. For example: before this cookbook, my primary seasonings were salt, butter, and minced onion; thanks to this cookbook, I've reduced my salt usage by at least a factor of 3, and I've learned how to get more "bang for the buck" on the salt I do use with other herbs and spices. I was greatly reassured by the writers' assurance that they understand the principle that if it doesn't taste good, you won't eat it - the recipes reflect this understanding, as the need to reduce fat is balanced with the need for appropriate taste and texture in the final product. Recipes such as Hungarian Cabbage and Royal Indian Salmon have become staples in our household. I highly recommend this book.

Editorial Review:

An expanded version of the book that started a revolution in American eating habits reveals fat as the major culprit, offers methods for cutting out the hidden fat in foods, and provides an overview of diet and exercise principles.
