This revised book boasts 20 new recipes as well as new tips on nutrition and eating. Readers will gradually lose weight, boost their energy, and improve their overall well-being. With its heightened focus on cooking for better health, this edition also shares lifestyle advice. In addition, it harnesses technology: ways in which well-chosen apps (which the first book pre-dated) and websites can help you stay motivated, as well as how to unplug and reclaim balance in your life. Ellie Krieger's strategies incorporate delicious, healthy eating that feeds mind, body, and soul. Fans will get the fitness/wellness aspect missing from her other cookbooks"--

This is an easy-to-start, simple-to-maintain, scientifically sound, 12-week program of small steps--just three each week--such as starting a food journal, choosing healthy fats and proteins, and replacing refined grains with whole grains.

And you won't be forbidden to eat a single thing! Krieger also tells you what technology to use for tracking your fitness progress and finding others who share your interests. At the end of twelve weeks, you will be armed with easy recipes (she includes the nutritional breakdown for all of them)--such as Poached Salmon with Mustard-Dill Sauce, Whole-Grain Rotini with Tuscan Kale, Pita Pizzas, and numerous easy, satisfying meals, to get you off the diet rollercoaster and eating healthy, so staying fit will be second nature.
