Congratulations! You've made the decision to eat better and lose weight. Actually losing the weight is not so hard - you have a variety of diet plans to choose from to help you on your way. But you'll need to stay committed to your diet for the long run to keep the weight off and that's the challenge. How do you avoid becoming bored by limited food options? How do you turn weight loss into a long-term commitment to a healthy lifestyle?

The folks at EatingWell magazine have won hundreds of thousands of loyal readers by serving up the best-tasting, healthful recipes in the country. Now straight from their kitchens comes The Essential EatingWell Cookbook: Good Carbs, Good Fats, Great Flavors, edited by Patsy Jamieson. Featuring more than 350 delicious, yet simple recipes, the book will appeal to a variety of popular diet regimens, including low-carb, low-fat, and three-phase diets like South Beach. (A Healthy Weight-Loss Index shows which recipes are appropriate for which diets.) More important, it provides clear, step-by-step instructions, easy-to-find healthful ingredients, nutrition analysis (including carb numbers), along with a common-sense approach to nutrition-conscious, full-flavor cooking and eating well.

Drawing on EatingWell magazine's vast recipe resources and Jamieson's knowledge and experience, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook gives clear guidelines and information on what to eat while dieting and when the diet is over. The Essential EatingWell Cookbook shows you how to successfully incorporate good carbs, good fats and great flavors into everyday eating so you don't feel deprived. Each recipe has been thoroughly tested in EatingWell's test kitchen. The book includes such tasty and balanced delights as Chicken Sauti with Mango Sauce, Updated Mac & Cheese, South Pacific Shrimp, Grilled Pork Chops with Rhubarb Chutney, Honey-Mustard Roast Chicken, Broccoli with Caramelized Onions & Pine Nuts, Grilled Tofu & Vegetable Kebabs, and Chocolate-Hazelnut Cake.
