Product Description

While common dieting wisdom suggests that those who need to lose weight must be eating too much, the newest discoveries in weight loss science now reveal that what’s not being eaten can hinder weight reduction. Fiber is turning out to be the silver bullet of dieting—because it can fill you up on fewer calories, dampen cravings for fattening foods, and dramatically improve your overall health.

Consuming the right amount of dietary fiber can have profound health benefits. It can cut the risk of heart disease by 30 percent; lower cholesterol by as much as 13 points; decrease inflammation; drop blood pressure; balance blood sugar; improve memory; reduce the risk for breast, colon, and endometrial cancer; and boost the immune system. Unfortunately, ramping up fiber levels too quickly can also cause digestive distress. With an easy-to follow, 4 week plan, Prevention’s Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook shows how to switch over to high-fiber living without experiencing excessive gas or uncomfortable bloating.

Of course, for any weight-loss plan to work, the food must be fabulous. Prevention’s Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook is packed with more than 200 delicious, fiber-rich recipes that work with any fiber-rich diet plan including home-style dishes like Roasted Sweet and Russet Potato Salad and Mom’s Turkey Meatloaf, tasty new favorites like Curried Beef with Pineapple and Coconut, and sweet treats like Ginger–Sweet Potato Cheesecake and Pumpkin Fruitcake.

This review is from: Prevention Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook: A Four-Week Plan to Cut Cravings and Lose Weight (Paperback)

I am loosing on average of 5lbs per month so I wanted to look at a book that would help me continue to reach my goals. I have made several recipes from this book. Peanut Butter milkshake, Strawberry & Banana french toast and Broccoli soup - loved them and did not feel hungry after eating these items. I did substitute egg beaters and Splenda for some of the items and my husband and I both enjoyed. I would highly recommend book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook, March 31, 2009

This review is from: Prevention Fiber Up Slim Down Cookbook: A Four-Week Plan to Cut Cravings and Lose Weight (Paperback)

I have tried a few recipes so far and they have been excellent. Most of the recipes have ingredients already on hand. The only problem that I have is that the recipes are for families. Only being one causes a few problems, how to cut the measurements down. Other than that it is a great book.

As a Dietetic Technician, I heartily recommend this book. Introducing fiber into one's diet is a very good step to take.

I have really enjoyed many of the recipes in this book and I've still lost weight on a sensible diet program along with exercise.

Fiber up, weight down and yummy too!
