Explains how to achieve and maintain one's ideal weight without dieting, offering tips on finding the best foods to suit individual needs, and includes two hundred recipes A companion to the best-selling Smart Exercise with an alternative to dieting. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. When Covert Bailey speaks, millions listen. This minister of the "no-more-diet-disasters" regime (and author of five best-sellers, including Fit or Fat ) now proselytizes for a new type of smart eating, one that targets low-fat, low-sugar, high-fiber, and balanced and varied meals. As always, his advice is eminently sensible. Only the 200 recipes, unfortunately, fall short; though most will be very acceptable to the mainstream American palate, few show any originality or much added taste or flavor--the reason, sadly, that many low-fat diets fail. Nonetheless, expect requests at the circulation counter because of his name. Barbara Jacobs
