Dewey Decimal Number: 613.25 EAN: 9780618835966 ISBN: 0618835962 Label: Houghton Mifflin Manufacturer: Houghton Mifflin Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: March 12, 2008 Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Sales Rank: 14394 Studio: Houghton Mifflin Editorial Review: 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.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - RECIPE FOR SUCCESS 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. The books contents include: Foreword INTRODUCTION Yo-Yo Mama Change in Motion Face the Numbers Bringing Home the Bacon, Packing on the Pork Get Physical No More Diets! Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat A Medical "Happily Ever After" Run-or Walk-Toward Yourself Sit Still to Lose Weight About the Calorie Analysis Stock Up THE RECIPES Eat (or Drink) Your Breakfast Big Lunch in a Bowl Time for Tea Before-Dinner Nibbles Dinners-Fast and Faster Dessert Too 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. Rating:  - Great Recipes and a Darn Good Read.Thanks Pam. I agree with you.. Get off the couch everybody! Go work in the garden and grow some of these great ingredients listed in the book. These are recipes that everyone, heavy or not, can benefit from. I like the fact that there were no diets involved, just a change of attitude. We all know these things,we watch the news, read the magazines,listen to Oprah, but Pam really did it herself! Unlike Oprah (no offense anyone) Pam cooks her own food, and motivates herself probably without fancy trainers, or equipment. Much like moi. Rating: - Great lifestyle book...This book is superb for people who really want to make a change in their lives and lose weight. I do not agree with the reviewer who said it would not work because of the amount of exercise Pam recommends. The book makes sense and has given me the inspiration to make life changes and I am seeing results. I exercise anyway and do not feel the need to walk 3 times a day because it is unrealistic with work and a young child. But, I do go to the gym 3x per week for 60-70 minutes, do 15 minutes of yoga each morning and walk the dog for 20 minutes in the morning. You do not have to do that much but her point is exercise is paramount to a healthy life. Losing weight and being healthy is more than just cutting calories and starving yourself. It is a lifestyle decision that must include some exercise and a healthy way of viewing food. Something Pam doesn't mention which is highlighted in French Women Dont Get Fatis compensating when you know you may over eat. If you are going out to dinner, eat light at breakfast and lunch so you can allow yourself to indulge. Then immediately back to healthy eating the next day. She has developed a way of life that will work, albeit slowly. After all, you didn't gain 50 pounds in 2 weeks why do you expect to lose it in 2 weeks! Rating: - Delicious healthy recipes, quick & easyI have made (and enjoyed) several of the recipes from this book. They are both easy and tasty and only require ingredients that are easily found at my local grocery store. So many books I have looked at include recipes that are to cumbersome for the average person, so this is like a breath of fresh air. I especially like her seared turkey burgers and her morning smoothies (although I have found that my blender can't handle frozen bananas, I need fresh ones!). For me, this is a healthy & doable approach to eating & exercise (and for those who are complaining about 45 minutes of jogging a day, you don't necessarily have to jog - just plain old walking is very good exercise and at least 30 minutes a day is recommended for you anyway!)
