Cooking Light Cookbook rocks.

Body for Life Cookbook is even leaner!

Both good once you're on a decent exercise program. BFL book is serious though...

The Sonoma Diet - never ate this good in my life, but it takes some serious dedication to cooking right. I also exercise 3 times per week on a stepper and I've dropped 15 pounds since 1/1/06.

20 more to go.

Yup... if you want lean and healthy that's the one for you. BFL has you eating 6 meals per day.

My X was the marketing director for the Heartland Retreat Spa in IL. I got to meet with quite a few Dietitians there and this is exactly what they recommend. Grazing basically.

One of my best friends from High School owned the Powerhouse Gym in E. Lansing. I spoke to his trainer and Bill's workout is pretty much spot on to what him and others recommended.

That's a 'very' senseable program. Workout and eat the right foods... ya think? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Once you're where you want to be, the Cooking Light cookbook has some awesome meals that pretty much fall in BFL range as well.

If you want a lean and healthy cookbook, I don't know of any better.

Some of the pictures inside the book's cover look a little phoney. I mean, every guy has shaved his chest and/or arm hair? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) But I'm going into it believing it will work.

Yeah... I agree 110%. I had to look past the muscle boy shit to see that the program was the most sensible I've ever seen. I have a toned goal in mind but some of the Charles Atlas stuff is flat out goofy.

You don't need a cookbook to eat healthy. What you need is to know the glycemic index of the foods you are eating, and to concentrate on foods that have a glycemic index of less than 65. Think in terms of low calorie-density foods. The more pre-digested it is, the worse it is for you. In other words, white bread, fast food, packaged meals, etc. are all poor quality foods. Make your digestive system work for your calories. Eat lots of fresh vegetables, raw if you can. Eat salads with lots of various ingredients and only a little oil and vinegar (or lemon juice) type dressing. Add some protein to the salad like a small piece of chicken, fish, etc. Eat nuts as often as you like. Avoid eating in front of the TV popular snack foods like doritos, cheese nips, etc. If you want to eat carbs, make sure they are complex carbs not simple sugar and pre-digested carbs that come in a box or bag.
HIgh glycemic index foods such as carrots and potatoes are ok in small/medium doses as long as you include a fat ingredient to slow the digestion of them. A Snickers bar actually has a much lower glycemic index than most popular high carb snacks. Lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, cucumber, etc, are all good and can be eaten in mass quantities - mixed with cheese, nuts, and other protein/fat in moderation. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Oh, and find an aerobic type exercise that you can do often without injuring yourself. Running on a treadmill while watching in-car race videos is what I'm doing two to three times a week for a half hour. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Chris, that's great advice, but I need help. The healthy cookbook will help me plan. I've done diets and I can lose weight easily when needed, but what I really need is direction. I LOVE to eat, I enjoy the flavors that food has. I have a problem with portion control and variety. I hope this healthy cookbook will lead me in the right direction.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) werd

I had done really well on slimming down, by following a low fat, low sodium , high fiber diet monday through friday. On Saturday and Sunday I would splurge and have luxury foods..

Worked well I went from 210 to 192 in a few months, my cholesterol dropped to below 200 and BP went down..

Then I got a job working in northern Vermont, living on per diem, in a hotel room. eating out 3 meals a day... and I bumped back up to 205.

Then came the holidays.

Ive found my groove again, and continue the monday-friday discipline, with a reward on the weekends..

Im a touch under 200 now..

My best advice is to INDULGE until it makes you sick! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)
When you get tired of it you will do the right thing.
The problem isn't food, it's using food as a substitute for facing up to a sagging self image. (I know!)
Sorry, I can't sugar coat this one. It's a problem many of us share, and our (healthy) lives depend on it. Tonight I had a shrimp cocktail and a nice green salad (romaine, raw broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, green and red pepper, celery, feta cheese, pignoli, a little homemade oil and vinegar dressing) with a piece of grilled chicken breast. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) All washed down with a couple glasses of moderately priced sauvignon blanc. :burp:
I'll leave it at that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Good advice Tim, probably as important as any other point offered about a healthy diet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif)

water is one thing that I have been doing correctly lately. No soda in the house for over a month.
