Losing weight isn't easy but the health benefits are enormous. It's a sad fact of life that many people who lose weight end up regaining it. Why? Because most diets provide a short-term fix to what is really a long-term problem. There are really no easy cures or miracle solutions when it comes to losing weight, which is why the advice in this book is based on scientific fact not fiction. It will help you change your eating habits and attitude towards food in a positive way that will help you lose weight and, more importantly, not regain it. This book gives practical advice on shopping and cooking; details about how to keep a food diary, which will help you identify and break bad eating habits; and over 40 quick and easy recipes for delicious and nutritious breakfasts, light lunches, soups and salads, meat, fish and vegetarian main meals, plus tasty desserts. The good news is that watching your weight doesn't have to leave you feeling hungry and unsatisfied, and it doesn't mean you have to miss out on the foods you enjoy.
