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

I cook from this book almost every night! The recipes are delicious! I also like how they explain why certain foods are good and why the bad one's are bad. Helps tremendously when you are at a loss for what you can and cannot eat.

Well, being a French trained cook, I didn't believe there was life without butter, creme fraiche, or triple cream cheese. A wake-up call of high cholesterol made me look for a tool to help reduce my numbers. This appealing book has certainly helped me change my lifestyle into a healthier one. Her book, with excellent food resources and recipes has kept me interested and satiated for over a year! I have dropped 50 points and plan on giving a copy to my primary care physician for her office. I don't even miss those high fat ingredients of yesteryear. (ok, maybe a little!) Thanks, Catherine for your creativity and meticulous and delectable recipes. I await volume 2!

Following the advice in this book reduced my total cholesterol by 30 points, and my waistline by 15 pounds! No other book has been able to deliver like this one. I'm never bored by the recipes, and Jones makes it easy to shop, eat, and live a healthy life. Totally delectable and worth every penny.

We're discovering this cook book and we're just loving it. Last night we did a vegetarian meal that featured the Healthy Lentil Salad with Tomatoes and Radishes, Hearts of Palm, Tomato and Asparagus Salad, and the Romaine Lettuce with Chickpeas, Feta and Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette.... DELISH and totally filling. We're also big fans of: Chicken, Arugula, Sun-Dried Tomato, Olive, and Feta Cheese Pasta Salad Chicken Fajitas with Homemade Guacamole (YUM! - Served it at a dinner party and it was a huge hit) Feta and Fresh Basil Chicken Burgers Turkey Loaf Southwestern Breakfast Burrito The recipes are very easy to make. The ingredients affordable. And the taste is something everyone in the family will appreciate!!!
