Betty Crocker's New Eat and Lose Weight

So, how do you lose weight and feel great? Betty Crocker knows how busy you are, so we created a simple three-step plan. Step One, Eating Smart, provides realistic strategies for putting you on the right track with positive eating habits. It includes charts with helpful information about calories, healthier food choices, fat comparisons and the scoop on questionable diets and diet gimmicks. You'll also learn about the Food Pyramid Guide, the dangers of eating disorders and how to read nutrition labels and keep track of what you eat every day with our easy-to-use Daily Food Tracker form. Then move on to Step Two, Energize with Exercise. Health experts recognize exercise as an essential part of losing weight and maintaining weight loss, but you don't have to join a health club or buy a home gym to make it part of your daily routine. We've also included a guide on how to be an informed consumer if you choose to join a health club, buy exercise videos or exercise equipment, take exercise classes or hire a personal trainer. Step Three is Go for the Goals, which deals with problem solving, establishing good habits and maintaining a positive attitude. To keep you and your family satisfied, there are 196 great-tasting recipes from appetizers to desserts. Included are two full weeks of menus for three meals a day, plus daily snacks.
