You Can Trust a Skinny Cook - 9780470876350

Forget starving yourself. Forget grapefruit diets, no-carb diets, and cabbage soup diets. A healthy body needs real food, and none of those fad diets work for very long anyway. Instead, what if you could stay trim without giving up the foods you love? What if you could lose weight and get in shape in your own kitchen while you eat delicious, real food?

In You Can Trust a Skinny Cook, Allison Fishman, a healthy cooking authority, shows you just how easy it is to stay slim and healthy without giving up the good things in life.

This is a cookbook about being healthy, happy, and looking your best---all while being able to eat the foods you love. It starts with preparing your own meals. Cooking for yourself is more than just a healthier and cheaper option than eating out; it's also a great way to stay active as you lift, stretch, reach, and move. You can fill your kitchen with flavorful, nutritious food, and when dinner's ready, you've already earned it.

Why give up what you love? You Can Trust a Skinny Cook shows you how to have fun and stay active, live life to the fullest, and eat all the foods you really love without guilt or fear. These recipes have nothing in common with tasteless rice cakes or watery cabbage soups. You'll find main dishes to die for like Sage-Roasted Turkey with Apples and Onions, sides that truly satisfy like Roasted Baby Potatoes with Caramelized Garlic, tasty breakfast treats like Banana-Blueberry Bread, and decadently delicious desserts like Flourless Chocolate Cake.

With "Kitchen Tips" that trim down your cooking time and "Skinny Tips" that cut out the calories without cutting out the flavor, You Can Trust a Skinny Cook makes eating healthy both simple and simply delicious. Living a full and happy life means being able to eat the foods you truly love, and there's no reason you can't do that and look your best. You can't deprive yourself and expect to be happy---so don't! Get cooking and get healthy at the same time with Allison Fishman.
