Did you know that most restaurant meals contain 1000-2000 calories and 50-100 grams of fat? Even the most nutrition-savvy person can't detect the hidden calories and fat in most restaurant foods. The "Healthy Dining" book gives you 'inside' information on what & how to order at your favorite local restaurants...and leads you to a spectacular selection of healthy items that are bursting with flavor.

"Healthy Dining in Los Angeles" is written by an award-winning team of nutrition experts who look inside chefs' secret recipes, analyze them, and select menu items that meet recommended nutrition guidelines. NO other source reveals such comprehensive, valuable information.

Each edition features: 1) Easy-to-read "nutrition labels" for hundreds of menu items (i.e., calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein, carbohydrates, diabetic exchanges); 2) Over 40 delicious, healthy recipes from Los Angeles chefs; 3) Valuable restaurant coupons; and, 4) More than 40 pages of nutrition tips and advice for healthier dining.

"TOP TEN Healthy Orders at California Restaurants" -- Can you eat out and still eat healthy? Sure, California is known for its plethora of health-conscious restaurants--and you don't have to just eat tofu and broccoli, either. To prove that eating doesn't have to be bland, we went to Accents On Health, publishers of the popular "Healthy Dining" book series, and asked them to give us the nutritional scoop on some of our favorite orders at our favorite California eateries. Here are our Top Ten Healthy Orders, with nutritional information excerpted from "Healthy Dining in Los Angeles." All of the following received good to excellent ratings in the areas of calories, fat, and cholesterol content, with the exceptions noted. -- Benning's Health & Fitness Journal, March/April 1999 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
