Cooking Light that Counts: 1,200 to 1,500-Calorie Meal Plans to Lose Weight Deliciously

my friend was delighted

Good quality book. Alot of useful recipes and nice pictures. Glad I bought it. I will try some recipes.

I have OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea). I have the CPAP machine, the Darth Vadar style mask and O2 supplementation. It helps folks like me get off the nightmare of "gain weight while you sleep diet." When you add walking, stretching and meditation with a great low calorie set of meals like the ones in this book, you will drop weight. Guaranteed. I'm a chef and a developer of AR / VR systems. I spend 10+ hours in a nice Herman Miller Embody chair, but I have to eat and drink, too. My RX: Drink 5 cups of coffee daily. It boosts your body's ketones (and Dr. David Perlmutter says so, too). But you have to watch the carbs. Drop the sugars and do not ever cook or eat the crap foods with white breads. This turns to simple sugars in the blood stream. Note this book did use the word "diet" on the cover. Let's face it: The first three letters of DIET are painful: DIE -- because this is what most of us feel like. Eating DIET food makes us want to DIE for food that tastes good. Well, this book has a lot of yummy and simple to follow recipes that anyone can follow. It's not a diet. It's good, healthy food that can help any idiot lose the weight.

Such a great book. Every recipe is delicious - the mushroom bacon casserole, muffins, everything

This has to be the best Cooking Light cookbook ever. Using this book as the main recipe provider, I lost 50 pounds over the last year while eating delicious food. My family never felt hungry and asked for repeat meals like pork with magic green sauce. The Greek farro salad, using red and yellow cherry tomatoes is good enough to take to a dinner party. In our house the book is well worn and has a plethora of scrap pieces of paper marking our favorate recipes.
