Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage)199 reviews
Gary Taubes

Anchor, 2008

A must-read for anyone interested in their health and longevity.
Finally a clear, well-documented account of this nation's delusion about fat and carbohydrates that has made us the obese, disease ridden country that we have become. Because of the erroneous obsession of Ancel Keys and his supporters we have been lied to by the entire medical profession and have sacrificed the health of a whole generation. How easily we are duped when the results of so ... 		  
  







  
  
Cooking Light Slow Cooker (Cooking Light)21 reviews

Oxmoor House, 2006

Yummy but Non-Complicated Recipes w. Ingredients in your Pantry
I recently bought a new crockpot with the thought of fixing meals that would be ready when I returned home from work. I was delighted to find this cookbook, which I hoped would combine convenience with lighter, healthier meals than you typically find with traditional crock-pot recipes. So far, I've tried a few recipes which have been delicious. However, my hopes of stuffing the crockpot ...

Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid21 reviews
Dr. Denis Leary

Viking Adult, 2008

Refreshingly Honest Rant on Modern Life
I received "Why We Suck" as a gift on the same day that shoppers killed a man trampling him while lined up for "Holiday Shopping" at Walmart and realized this is WHY WE SUCK. Happily, the book is funny and fun to read. Sadly, it is a true commentary about our lives. From CelebuTards to Dr Full to Mr Leary's idea of justice for Michael Vick, the book is astounding in it's genuine insights into ... 		  
  







  
  
Too Fat to Fish64 reviews
Artie Lange, Anthony Bozza

Spiegel & Grau, 2008

Funny, Raunchy, but also Serious
I bought this book because I have always thought Artie Lange was funny as hell. That Baby Gorilla scene is burned into my PFC. While I had been a Stern fan for ages, I have grown tired of him over the last few years- I bought this book soley because of Lange (and the back cover- funny as crap). What I did not expect was how serious and sincere this book can be at times. When he talks about ... 		  
  







  
  
You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management697 reviews
Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen

Free Press, 2006

A fun and extremely informative book
This fun and extremely informative book is an owner's manual for the human waist, that flabby bit that, for most of us, arrives everywhere first, making a big impression. The two medical researchers who wrote this book give you an in-depth look at you, food and weight. They take you on a tour of hunger, how you digest food, why you get fat, the effects of being fat, and what you can and should ... 		  
  







  
  
The Eat-Clean Diet: Fast Fat-Loss that lasts Forever!139 reviews
Tosca Reno

Robert Kennedy Publishing, 2007

This diet works!
I normally don't post reviews, but after reading some of the naysaying posts, I had to comment. Folks, this diet works. It works like magic, just like the fitness pros say it does. I have tried SO many diets in the quest for ultimate health-vegan, macrobiotic, raw food, and this. This approach is the only one that stabilizes my hormones and blood sugar so well while not making me lose muscle ...

Creations by You

Creations by You, 2006

A Complete Joy!
Being an author and reviewer when my grandchild asked for this kit as a present I was thrilled. It's always nice to see a child want to follow in your footsteps. Was it worth the money? You bet it was. Inside is everything that was needed for her to use to create her first book. The instructions were easy to follow and she got right to work. What a great book was made. Her illustrations ...

Eating For Life202 reviews
Bill Phillips

High Point Media, LLC, 2003

Awesome Food, Great Variety
I am a 39 yr. old male. I started the BFL program only about ten pounds over my ideal weight range. I knew the hardest part of the program would be the limitations on food. This book is so wonderful. There is a large variety. I had no idea there were so many ways to make chicken, pasta, and seafood taste so wonderful. I have never spent much time in the kitchen, but with this book, cooking is ... 		  
  







  
  
The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Diet39 reviews
Pamela Compart, Dana Laake

Fair Winds Press, 2006

Highly recommend
I enjoyed this book both for the informational perspective in the first half and the recipes in the second. I have a VERY picky son and I think there are some interesting(and surprisingly easy) recipes I'll definitely try. Also inspired me to come up with a few new recipes of my own.

Jen Lancaster

NAL Trade, 2008

Such a Pretty Fat is Such a Pretty Funny Read
I enjoyed this book. I happened to just pick it up because it was on a table. Since reading the book I have become an avid reader of her blog and just ordered her other two books. She is like the friend you meet up with every so often to catch up and get the load down of their weird and bizarre life, you laugh so hard at their stories because you just can't believe that actually happens to ... 		  
  







  
  
Gluten-Free Baking Classics72 reviews
Annalise G. Roberts

Agate Surrey, 2008

New to eating Gluten-Free? This is a great start!
I am new to eating gluten-free and this book was given to me as a gift along with a few other books. This was by far the best book. The recipes are great. She also gives great information about how gluten-free cooking works in general so you can look at how to convert your own favorite recipes. I think this is a great first book for those who just started eating gluten-free. 		  
  







  
  
The Big Fat Duck Cookbook2 reviews
Heston Blumenthal

Bloomsbury USA, 2008

Fitting testament to a fascinating fellow...
The Big Fat Duck Cookbook This book is an accomplishment worthy of telling Blumenthal's tale of discovery and evolution. It is in fact exactly what I had been looking for every time I had previously purchased an overgrown coffe-table cook book... usually to be let down by the quality, format or content. Those three aspects: quality, format and content drive the perfect rating I served up. ... 		  
  







  
  
Healthy Cooking for Two (or Just You): Low-Fat Recipes with Half the Fuss and Double the Taste67 reviews
Frances Price

Rodale Books, 1997

flavorful, simple recipes
Looking at the ingredients for some of the recipes, one would think that the outcome would be bland. I haven't had a miss yet out of the half dozen recipes I've tried, which is unheard of for me and recipe books. The only thing that could make this one better is the addition of color photographs, but that doesn't take away much when you know that what you are making will be great- even without ... 		  
  







  
  
Built for Show: Four Body-Changing Workouts for Building Muscle, Losing Fat, andLooking Good Enough to Hook Up12 reviews
Nate Green

Avery, 2008

Talk about a welcome change!
The thing I hate about most fitness books on the market today is that they all try to be too technical. To be honest, when it comes to training programs, I only want the program. I don't care WHY the program works. Nate Green's book does just that. It gave me a program to follow that would get me what I wanted. A physique that females find attractive. Nate doesn't stop there though. I would ... 		  
  







  
  
The CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter 20091 review
Allan Borushek

Family Health Publications, 2008

A book you can count on.
Absolutely the best all around calorie counter. Why? Because the book is small (fits in a purse easily), easy use, well laid out, and extremely complete- even has calorie counts for many major restaurants! A book you just can't beat for the price, I highly recommend it for anyone counting calories, fats or carbs. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for readers who have had difficulty ... 		  
  







  
  
1,001 Best Slow-Cooker Recipes: The Only Slow-Cooker Cookbook You'll Ever Need1 review
Sue Spitler, Linda R. Yoakam

Agate Surrey, 2008

This book is excellent!
This is the second book I have bought in the '1001 Recipes' series, and I haven't been disappointed with either one! The recipes in this slow cooker book are delicious, and they are broken down into well-organized chapters. I especially like that there are two chapters for vegetarian recipes...there is something for everyone! Though not explicitly advertised as a low-fat book, this book has ...
