Eat More, Weigh Less

Excellent choice for dieters. This is a fabulous food group diet book, with delicious recipes in the back. Love the pizza casserole recipe. I lost 50 lbs. following this diet. It's easy to follow the plan, after a quick read through the instructions. Basically, you can eat anything you want. You just need to count your units, ie 7 proteins each day, 3 fruits, etc etc -- and try to eat them all. Don't be deterred because this is an older version, as the info here is timeless. Your only problem with following this diet will be trying to eat all the wonderful food on your diet plan every day. Sometimes I couldn't quite eat EVERYTHING. You never feel hungry, and eating so much is great for your metabolism, too!

I'VE LIKED THIS PLAN FOR 20 YEARS!

In the early 1980's I needed to lose a little weight and I joined a group at my church that was using this book for a guide. The food exchanges were really new to me and I had to do some studying to figure them out but it was well worth the time. Over the years, any time I need to lose some weight (we owned Candy Store for 25 years) I just got out my Eat and Stay Slim book and copied off some charts to keep track of my food exchanges and got started. The book features simple but delicious recipes and easy exercises, to go along with the diet, and they just take a few minutes a day. This "diet" calls for just good sound nutrition, no fad stuff. When you get to your weight goal you can simply increase your exhanges until you find your own maintence level. I highly recommend this book, it's been helpful for me.

Sensible Eating Plan

This book has been extremely helpful to me in developing a sensible eating plan. For those who are trying to lose weight, this is about as simple as it gets. The plan is based on food exchanges and takes the pain out of counting calories. I lost 70+ lbs. with an older edition. It still takes will-power (what diet doesn't) but makes planning your meals and snacks a breeze. Many delicious recipes are included that fit into your eating plan.

Tasty recipes

I checked this book out of the library and so far the recipes I've tried are really good. I plan on buying this book. It's a good deal for the price.

tasty recipes

I checked this book out of the library and so far all the recipes I've tried are pretty good. I also like the fact that they list diet exchanges since I follow the exchange plan. Good colorful pictures too. I plan on buying this one. Definately a good buy for the money.
