Book Description

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Ron Goor, a biochemist who has coordinated cholesterol programs at the National Institutes of Health and the Heart Institute, recommends a calorie-based diet in which "sat(urated)-fat" calories account for no more than 10% of the total. The sound advice isn't new, and the charts, graphs, study results and warnings will appeal most to those already converted to low-fat, low-cholesterol eating. Others may be intimidated by the book's intensity. Nancy Goor, who has collaborated on children's books with her husband, contributes low "sat-fat" recipes emphasizing fowl, seafood and vegetables. Some recipes have higher sodium levels than seem necessary but, on the whole, these dishes are a welcome addition to the growing body of low-fat, low-cholesterol dishes. Turkey cutlets with artichoke-cream sauce, vegetable souffle with tahini sauce and peanut butter bread will encourage readers to invest energy in healthful cooking. The "quick" designation, although used somewhat freely in describing recipes, does include items such as scallops Caribbean, breaded turkey cutlet and mushroom soup that may help readers to resist high-fat, high-cholesterol fast foods. Illustrations.

Choosing to Lower Your Cholesterol,
By Mississippi Reader (Meridian, MS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eater's Choice: A Food Lover's Guide to Lower Cholesterol (Paperback)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eater's Choice: A Food Lover's Guide to Lower Cholesterol (Paperback)
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.
