Summary

The head of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard and the author of Moosewood Cookbook have teamed up to create a new program that will show you how to shrink your waist and keep pounds off-while still eating everything you love! With so many fad diets telling us to eat only this or none of that, it's no surprise that so many of us believe it's impossible to lose weight while eating a wide variety of delicious foods. But it is possible-and surprisingly simple. Eat, Drink, and Weigh Less presents a medically sound, easy-to-use program (friendly to both meat eaters and vegetarians alike!) that paves the way for lifelong weight loss and good health. The secret is in adding delicious food to your diet and making simple changes in what you eat throughout the day. The plan includes a powerful new way to chart your progress, called the Body Score: The more you raise your Body Score, the more you will lower your weight. With Nine Turning Points and more than 100 delicious new recipes, this is a user-friendly diet plan with fail-safe results. Choose foods according to these nine principles, and you'll raise your Body Score-and lower your weight for good! Recipes include: Ten-Minute Tomato Soup, Portobello Pizzas, Pomegranate-Lime Glaze for Grilled Chicken or Tofu, Broiled Eggplant Parmesan, Apple-Glazed Acorn Squash Rings, Chocolate Meringue Cookies, And much more...
