At last, an easy-to-use and understandable guide to understanding and controlling your cholesterol level. The simple premise is that you can control your cholesterol levels by limiting saturated fat intake, and that you can choose what foods you eat to accomplish that control. It worked for me. You will find tables showing fat calories for foods you prepare at home, as well as dining out menus at popular eateries. Chapters give helpful hints about eating healthy, as well as information about why it is important to control your cholesterol level, other measures to take, and how to interpret your test results. Of the many books I've read on the subject, this is far and away the clearest and best.

I own a number of books on the topic and this is by far the best. It's a gift I give to all my friends who are serious about reducing their cholesterol. You'll find the recipes delicious and easy.

I don't agree with the first person who reviewed this book. I found the information on cholesterol to be very helpful and most of recipes are very good. The book was recommended to me by a friend who said she makes some of the dishes when she has company and always receives compliments.

I bought a used copy of this book a couple years ago but noticed an updated version at the library. The new version has twice the recipes of the book I have so I just ordered a new one. Another plus -- my cholesterol dropped 16 points within a short period of time and I attribute it to the Goors' recipes.

This book is a really good guide to lower cholestoorel w/ great recipes!

This is a good book for learning why a person's cholesterol is high and what can be done to lower it.

Update of the 1989 version that we use frequently for some of our favorite recipes. We bought this one as a gift for someone who should (hopefully) appreciate the explanations and rationale for healthy eating.

I bumped into this book many many years ago. It was originally written for heart patients needing to lower their cholesterol. Later the marketing focused on the weight loss aspect of the recipes. I used it to lose weight. It works. And it works while you enjoy very tasty meals. I am a cook and I appreciated the ideas the book gave me. Very information introduction on cholesterol and fat that will help you in using your other favorite recipes. I highly recommend this book.

I was shocked to learn my cholesterol levels were high. My doctor recommended this book and it took me a few days to even be interested in researching it. I was pleasantly surprised. Although the food charts and recipe sections are not that useful to me, the actual cholesterol education sections are. I refer back to those chapters again and again. I have learned a lot about nutrition, even though I felt I knew it all before. I have also renewed my committment to working out as a result of this book. Not only was it educational, but the kick in the butt I needed. I am planning on buying this book, and the other eater's choice book, for my friends and family. I actually can't wait to go get my levels checked again!

I bought this book the day I found out my cholesterol was 350 and all my doctor would say was "It's a little bit higher than I'd like."

I followed the diet recommendations in it religiously to start with, and began exercising for the first time in a long time, building up to 4 to 5 hours aerobic exercise a week. When I had my cholesterol tested again after 5 months, it was down to 240! (And I had lost almost 20 pounds in weight and was at a healthy BMI!)

20 years later, although my cholesterol levels have crept back up because I'm not as dedicated to the diet and exercise as I was, I still enjoy recipes from this book - peppery chicken and deep dish pear pie are two family favorites.

I found this book both very informative and easy to use. I can finally say, "I'm on my way to lowering my Cholesterol for good." I highly recommend this book to any one with health issues. JDavis (Oldsmar, FL)(USA)
