Product Description
Take charge of your life with the only weight loss book that lets you choose what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat. Here is the fully revised and updated version of the book that has helped hundreds of thousands of readers lose weight by making them the boss. By using the Goors' unique "Fat Budget" system, anyone can create a personal plan for permanent weight loss. It's not a fad diet, it's a whole new way of life—one that's easy, even enjoyable, to follow. This completely revised edition of Choose to Lose features: The real truth about the unreported dangers of the new high-protein fad diets; Why diet pills won't work for you; How the fat substitute olestra can be dangerous; Updated food tables that reveal the calorie and fat contents of more than 6,000 foods, including brand-name convenience foods and items from fast-food chains.

About the Author
Nancy Goor is the writer of the team. Using humor and a light style, Nancy has created an understandable and encouraging text for both the books and the program. She also developed the more than 320 recipes in the books. These are recipes which the Goors, their family, and guests enjoy all the time. Her recipes, such as Cajun Chicken, Chili Non Carne, and Onion Flat Bread, prove resoundingly that low-fat cooking can be delicious, healthy, and can keep you lean forever. Nancy Goor received a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.F.A. from Boston University.

Dr. Goor, an expert on diet, cholesterol, and heart disease, served the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health, as the National Coordinator of the Coronary Primary Prevention Trial, the landmark study that proved that lowering cholesterol reduces the incidence of heart attack. He subsequently became the first coordinator of the National Cholesterol Education Program in the Office of the Director of the NHLBI. His personal as well as professional involvement with cholesterol led him and his wife Nancy to write the best-selling book Eater's Choice. He and Nancy developed The Eater's Choice® Cholesterol Lowering Program, a small-group counseling program based on the book and offered in many hospital and worksite wellness programs and cardiac rehab centers around the country. Because so many people lost weight following Eater's Choice, the Goors wrote a book on weight loss, Choose to Lose, and subsequently developed the Choose to Lose Weight Loss/Healthy Eating Program based on the book. Dr. Goor received a B.A. from Swarthmore College and earned his Ph.D. at Harvard University and an M.P.H. degree at the Harvard School of Public Health.
