reviewer quotes to come

"Most diet books exploit the popular desire for a quick fix, trading away principles of healthful eating for promises of rapid weight loss. Promises that prove false as quickly as the weight is regained! What a rich, refreshing, and well-researched alternative Linda Arpino offers! In Eat Fit, Be Fit, Linda serves up a veritable feast of information about eating well, and pursuing health, for a lifetime. I look forward to adding Linda’s terrific book to my bookshelf and strongly recommend you do the same."

Fabulous Book
I have read a lot of information on the topic of nutrition and didn't expect this book to be so valuable. It is thoroughly researched, well-written and chock full of delicious recipes. As a busy working professional I appreciate the variety of easy to prepare meals that are nutritious and tasty. Unlike other books on weight management where calorie restriction = boring meals and few choices, you won't feel deprived. Every recipe has a nutrition analysis so that if you're counting calories, carbs, sugar or fat, this is the book for you. Kudos to the author. She has raised the standard.

Smartest and Most Comprehensive Book on a Healthful Lifestyle You'll Find
Most books on the topic of weight control are facile and frivolous. Not this book! "Eat Fit, Be Fit" gives you what you need for long term success. In depth and intelligent in a very digestable way (pardon the pun) Linda Arpino covers it all. In the difficult fight to maintain a healthy lifestyle this book is both inspiring and practical. Healthy recipes, simple explanations of what you need to know about nutrition, and tips for breaking bad habits and dealing with the emotional issues behind overeating can all be found here. This book is the first step to positive change.

This book provides an excellent step by step process to making a change to a healthy lifestyle. It provides steps to take action, setting goals, overcoming challenges, breaking from old habits and meeting those goals.

There are many healthy AND delicious recipes and each recipe has nutritional information. The book is written and organized in such a way that it is easy to understand and follow. I recommend "Eat Fit, Be Fit: Health and Weight Management Solutions" to anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy delicious food.
