The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great (Hardcover) Review

The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating GreatI have been a huge fan of Pam Anderson's other "Perfect" cookbooks.Especially "Perfect Recipes for Having People Over," and "How to Cook Without a Book."She is just a great chef and writer.Her insight is always invaluable.However, it is not really practical for me (or anyone) to eat most of these foods on a daily basis because many of them are high in fat and calories.

In her new book, Pam shows you how you can eat really good food, but cook recipes that are not to caloric or fat laden.The recipes are really do-able for everyday cooking and eating, even if you have a busy schedule.And, in typical Pam fashion, she gives variations on almost every recipe to suit your tastebuds and the ingredients you have on hand.A calorie count is also given for every recipe.

Just as valuable as the recipes, is the information Pam gives you about how she lost almost 50 pounds.Her biggest tip is that she changed her lifestyle.She added exercise and created kind of a meal plan and guidelines that she feels (and I feel) are liveable.She has a nice breakfast, a nice lunch, teatime with a sweet, a before dinner "nibble" with a glass of wine and a reasonable dinner.And the truth is, if you eat like this day in-day out, you will slowly lose weight (or stay the same).What makes most of us gain weight is the over-indulgent stuff, eating too much on a daily basis, and constant yo-yo dieting.

I am not doing her writing justice, please get it and read it.I am so excited to implement her strategies and recipes in to my life.I love to cook, and I love to eat, but I hate being fat!

Edited to add: I have been cooking from this book all week and love, love, love it.Rare to find a cookbook that you can instantly cook so many recipes out of it right away.These are recipes for everyday living.
