Book Description

January 15, 1997
Exactly how do people who have lost weight keep it off for good eat to stay thin? Anne Fletcher, author of the bestselling Thin for Life, tells how the "masters" of weight loss do it: in the kitchen, at the table, and in the restuarants. You'll learn how the masters handle cravings and cut fat calories without feeling deprived, how they stay motivated, and how they survive tough times - from quitting smoking to having babies and dealing with tragedy - all without gaining weight. In addition, Eating Thin for Life is a complete cookbook, featuring 122 of the masters' favorite low-fat recipes: from Pineapple Right-side-Up Coffee Cake, to Oven-Fried Chicken, to Rich Chocolate Cake with Rasberry Sauce, each with a nutritional analysis.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Anne Fletcher is a registered dietician who studied 208 "masters" who succeeded in losing an average of 64 pounds and keeping the weight off. She revealed their keys to success in Thin for Life. In Eating Thin for Life, Fletcher explores the eating habits and recipes of these weight-control successes. They share how they ate when they were heavy, how they motivated themselves to change, what eating plans helped them lose weight, and how they continue to keep their weight low. The masters share the strategies that help them stick to healthy, slimming eating choices--and enjoy the foods they choose. The book is particularly remarkable because there isn't some celebrity or expert telling you what to eat: The people who have accomplished their goals in diverse ways describe how they did it, with Fletcher filling in nutritional information to supplement the masters' points.

Eating Thin for Life is divided into food secrets (such as how to control binge eating and how to eat in restaurants), menu plans (with calorie and fat analysis), and 122 favorite recipes (with nutritional breakdowns). Quotes and stories from the masters make you feel that if they could do it, so can you. --Joan Price

From Publishers Weekly

Following up on her bestselling Thin for Life (1994), Fletcher records and organizes the experiences of 200 men and women who have successfully maintained over a number of years a significant weight loss (an average of 64 pounds). Fletcher calls her subjects, who have kept off 20 or more pounds for more than 10 years, masters. In Part I, she catalogues the strategies they have used to hold on to their weight loss, offering five main "food secrets," e.g., "Want to be Thin More Than You Want to Eat the 'Wrong' Foods"; "Fix Your Full Button." Each tip is fleshed out with stories from "the masters" demonstrating how it has helped them. The second section offers 21 days of menus for low-fat, reduced calorie dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, as well as snacks. Part III offers 100 recipes (with food counts) from the masters for recipes that have become mainstays on their tables. Included are recipes for Meatballs with Parsley and Sage, mixing ground round steak with grated potatoes; Crepes with Chicken and Mushroom Filling; Sweet Potato Puff, with bananas; Deep Dish Pumpkin Pie, with a graham-cracker crust. The accompanying list, "Tricks of the Low-Fat Cooking Trade," is particularly helpful. As both inspiration and practical guide, this volume is likely to prove a great ally to readers who know that keeping off the pounds they lose is the larger part of a weight loss campaign.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! What a wonderful follow-up to "Thin For Life", April 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Eating Thin for Life: Food Secrets & Recipes from People Who Have Lost Weight & Kept it Off (Hardcover)
As a person who loved "Thin For Life", the minute I saw "Eating Thin For Life" I bought it without hestitation. Once again, Anne Fletcher brings us tips, techniques and now lots of recipes from REAL people who have lost the weight and kept it off. I lost 60 pounds when I read "Thin For Life" and since then 20 pounds have crept back on. This book is just the motivation I needed to get back on track to my goal of one day becoming a "master" of my weight.

By 
This review is from: Eating Thin for Life: Food Secrets & Recipes from People Who Have Lost Weight & Kept it Off (Hardcover)
This is a good book to read if you are trying to maintain or keep weight off. It doesn't tell you anything about losing weight that you don't already know such as eating healthy and exercising, but there are some fantastic ideas, and easy lowfat recipes to help you begin to change your bad eating habits, and ultimately lose weight.
