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.

About this title

Review:

Anne Fletcher is a registered dietician who studied 208 "masters" who succeeded in losing an average of 64 pounds and keeping the weight off. She revealed their keys to success in Thin for Life. In Eating Thin for Life, Fletcher explores the eating habits and recipes of these weight-control successes. They share how they ate when they were heavy, how they motivated themselves to change, what eating plans helped them lose weight, and how they continue to keep their weight low. The masters share the strategies that help them stick to healthy, slimming eating choices--and enjoy the foods they choose. The book is particularly remarkable because there isn't some celebrity or expert telling you what to eat: The people who have accomplished their goals in diverse ways describe how they did it, with Fletcher filling in nutritional information to supplement the masters' points.

Eating Thin for Life is divided into food secrets (such as how to control binge eating and how to eat in restaurants), menu plans (with calorie and fat analysis), and 122 favorite recipes (with nutritional breakdowns). Quotes and stories from the masters make you feel that if they could do it, so can you. --Joan Price
