Great suggestions as well as recipes
Lots of great recipes that don't have icky ingredients and great suggestions on how to modify your own recipes.

Fabulous
This book is fabulous. If I hadn't seen in the title that it was lower in fat and better for you I would have thought the desserts were from the full fat foods. These were easy and tasty.

Low Fat??? Doesn't taste like it!
This book is great! As a co-recipe developer on this book I am proud to say that i had a part in the fantastic recipes. Try the pecan cookies or the german chocolate cake. The Orange Bread pudding with sauce is so rich you will need a glass of milk. I have been teaching "fattening" pastry classes for years and this year I replaced a few of the recipes with these and people do not even know. Try it on your family! ... Read more

Editorial Review

High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease, the number one cause of death in the U.S. Experts recommend reducing dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. This means cutting down on the animal fat present in meat and eating more high-fiber, high-quality, complex carbohydrates. To help you do this, the American Heart Association has developed the Step-One Diet and the Step-Two Diet. Both are similar in recommending that 30 percent or less of your calories come from fat, 10 to 20 percent from protein, and 50 to 60 percent from carbohydrates. The Step-Two is more restrictive of saturated fat and cholesterol.Read more

This book changed my life!!!!
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! ... Read more

Upbeat and fun
This was a very upbeat and relaxing workout.I like to end my day this way with a walk and time to myself.The music is upbeat with an easy to follow rythm.You are told when you are halfway through the walk, so you know when to go back.Rita Moreno reminds you about posture and pacing and times a pulse count about halfway through.It was just perfect for me.

great tape
I was impressed with this tape. Rita Moreno chimes in with tips and encouragement from time to time, but never often enough to be annoying.The music is forgettable, but that's exactly what I want in a workout - I've noticed that in workouts that use popular music, within a week or so I can't hear the song on the radio without thinking of the workout moves that go along with it, and the song is ruined forever. The music is just enough background to provide the proper beat without interfering with my thoughts. The beginner's side is a bit slow, which would definitely be beneficial to a beginner intimidated by more strenuous exercises. The intermediate side could last for a long time if extra movements are incorporated as it becomes too easy (more vigorous arm swings, larger steps, etc.) It is almost fast enough for an easy jog. Get Moving
This tape has been a God sent to me. The songs are not popular hits butthey still are up beat and somewhat relaxing. It really can makes your mindclear. The pace of walking is great and can be made as fast as you wouldlike. The woman who talks though out the tape also says something rightwhen I need it some encouragement. And the walk does last 30 minutes. Ifound this to be very good and keeps you on track. ... Read more

I can't WAIT to make these dishes
Since I was starting to take my efforts to get healthy seriously, and was having success with going with a traditional low-cal diet, I wanted to find a cookbook that gave me some ideas so that I wasn't living on ricecakes and water.
