Sometimes, it's not all about the number of calories we eat, but where they come from, and in this weight loss cookbook, the focus is on “good” calories versus bad ones (like refined carbs and easily-digested starches and sugars). Finally, it all makes sense!
Don't all of these weight loss cookbooks sound amazing? I especially like the fast cooking book, and the Happy Herbivore... so many delicious, nutritious recipes, where will you start? Which of these weight loss cookbooks will you try first? Or is there another one you think deserves a place on my list? Do tell!
