Product Description:
The best-selling author of The Perfect Recipe shares her secret for dumping pounds without dieting—and the 250 recipes for her new way of eating.
To millions of citizen cooks, Pam Anderson is a trusted friend who does all the work for them, testing and retesting until she arrives at the best version of classic favorites and simple dishes for company. But gradually, Pam found herself standing with the two thirds of Americans who are more than a few pounds overweight. Fed up with whipsaw cycles of losing and gaining, she vowed to change—but not if it involved dieting, hunger pangs, or saying no to the foods she loved. Complicated recipes were out. She streamlined, creating meals as satisfying as they are quick—pizzas that take just thirty minutes, big-bowl combos, and gratifying snacks to forestall cravings. She discovered a few simple habits that make all the difference. Four years later, she's still maintaining her forty-pound weight loss. The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great is a way to eat for life. It's filled with voice-of-experience tips for curbing appetite, no-nonsense shortcuts for getting food on the table pronto, and recipes that could only have been developed by this food-loving pro—no compromises, no wasted steps, just extraordinary results from ordinary ingredients.

The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great presents 250 recipes that are simple, easy to follow, and satisfying. The recipes include sumptuous breakfasts, soups, pastas, pizzas, meat dishes, combination dishes, and snacks. The recipes are lower in fat and calories than her previous inventions, and include calorie content as well as variations. This trusted cook and author outlines how she achieved and has maintained her forty pound weight loss. Her "diet" included eating breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea with a treat, a small pre-dinner snack, and dinner with wine.

Index
Pam's program was designed to avoid dieting and all its associated feelings of hunger. She also did not want to deprive herself of her favorite foods. Pam wanted a plan that would allow her to slowly lose weight and keep it off, which along with some exercise, has been her recipe for success. This book should be helpful for people who love to cook and who are beginning to pay attention to their diet and weight. Companion books for Pam's are: The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life, and THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams. I also recommend Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective.
