Product Description

Eating for lower cholesterol has never been easier, or tastier.
High cholesterol is directly associated with heart disease. New national guidelines for healthy cholesterol levels, recently revised to be more stringent, mean millions of Americans need to bring their levels down. While doctors fill out millions of prescriptions for cholesterol-lowering drugs, diet remains a proven, supremely effective way to reduce cholesterol. Now, professional cookbook author and health-conscious chef, Catherine Jones, and one of the nation’s leading nutritionists, Elaine B. Trujillo, offer a wealth of cutting-edge information along with a collection of delicious recipes to help lower your cholesterol levels. Key features of this authoritative, information-packed book include:
• An introduction, clearly explaining cholesterol and how it relates to heart disease, what your "numbers" mean, risk factors for developing high cholesterol, high cholesterol in women and children, and other vital information
• More than 100 heart-healthy recipes, easy enough for everyday fare and guaranteed to please everyone—from breakfast to dinner, with snacks in between
• Tips for stocking a heart-healthy pantry
• More than 100 text boxes, highlighting the latest research findings, health claims, shopping, cooking, meal planning, fast food dangers, and other practical, essential information
• A Stay Balanced Scale, to help you take control of your diet without ever feeling deprived
• Nutrition information accompanying each recipe that explains heart-health benefits, including nutritional breakdowns and ADA exchanges for diabetics

A MUST-HAVE NUTRITIONAL BOOK FOR EVERYONE
Finally, a book to tell us what we should be eating every day to stay healthy instead of the latest trend that caters to a particular food group and quick results. The key is to have lasting results by understanding what is and is not good for your body.

I recommend buying 2 copies of this book. One to keep at home for the wonderful recipes and one to take with you every time you go food shopping or eat out. This book answered every question I have about how to feed my family healthy and delicious foods. It will provide you with the insight on how to shop for the most nutritious foods and what to look at on the food labels. Not only are the recipes healthy, but they are delicious, easy to make, and offer suggestions on variations to meet your personal tastes.

This book also offers recommendations on the foods you should and should not be feeding your children and many ideas on how to make them healthy eaters throughout their lifetime. Due to the appetizing recipes and overall nutritional recommendations, I intend to share this book with every member of my family.

Creative and Tasty Recipes
This book has quickly become one of our favorites. Recipes are clearly written and not overly complicated. The nutrition information given for each recipe makes it easy to incorporate into our Weight Watchers routine. Some folks may not be familiar with tomatillos, but you must try the delightful Tomatillo-Avocado sauce (p. 174), which is scrumptious with crab cakes and everything else! We have found that the seasonings are on the mild side - if you enjoy herbs and spices you may want to increase the recommended amounts in the recipes.

Best of the Cholesterol Lowering Books-- No Contest!!
This book is set up in an engaging, straight-forward manner and is easily utilized by those with both a lot of background and those with relatively little. It is comprehensive, has a respectful and upbeat tone and is filled with ideas which are very achieveable. The recipes are a bonus -- so far every item tried has been delicious. A real hit at our house.
