About this Item

xii, [2] 332, [6] p. Food Tables. Glossary. Table of Eqiuvalent Measures. References. Index. Like the bestselling Eater's Choice, The Choose to Lose Diet is simple, informative, and easily adapted to any lifestyle. The Choose to Lose "budget" system promotes effective weight loss through a lifelong understanding of healthful eating, and helps dieters learn to appreciate new healthful foods and the importance of eating them. From a website posting: " Dr. Ron Goor, an expert on diet, cholesterol, and heart disease, served the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health, as the National Coordinator of the Coronary Primary Prevention Trial, the landmark study that proved that lowering cholesterol reduces the incidence of heart attack. He subsequently became the first coordinator of the National Cholesterol Education Program in the Office of the Director of the NHLBI. His personal as well as professional involvement with cholesterol led him and his wife Nancy to write the best-selling book Eater's Choice. He and Nancy developed The Eater's Choice® Cholesterol Lowering Program, a small-group counseling program based on the book and offered in many hospital and worksite wellness programs and cardiac rehab centers around the country. Because so many people lost weight following Eater's Choice, the Goors wrote a book on weight loss, Choose to Lose, and subsequently developed the Choose to Lose Weight Loss/Healthy Eating Program based on the book. Nancy Goor is the writer of the team. Using humor and a light style, Nancy has created an understandable and encouraging text for both the books and the program. She also developed the more than 320 recipes in the books. These are recipes which the Goors, their family, and guests enjoy all the time. Her recipes, such as Cajun Chicken, Chili Non Carne, and Onion Flat Bread, prove resoundingly that low-fat cooking can be delicious, healthy, and can keep you lean forever. Dr. Goor received a B.A. from Swarthmore College and earned his Ph.D. at Harvard University and an M.P.H. degree at the Harvard School of Public Health. Nancy Goor received a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.F.A. from Boston University." Good. Highlighting/underlining. Signed by author.

"I am very pleased with the results I have achieved with Choose to Lose.

I eat more now than I ever have and I have lost 35 pounds in the process.

This book will help you lose weight and keep it off forever!" Pete and Beth P.

"In addition to my weight loss of 45 pounds, my cholesterol level also dropped significantly, and is now below 200 for the first time. We have tried virtually all the programs in existence, and Choose to Lose is the only one that really works for us." Bill R.

"Finally I found a book that I read and that actually made sense. Choose to Lose was such an inspiration to me, I was motivated to lose weight and to exercise. From January 25 to July 1, I lost 69 pounds and went from a size 24 to a size 11 Thanks for writing something that truly has changed my way of life!!" Marcia M.
