Paper Summary:
This paper reviews the book "Eat, Shrink, and Be Merry!", a humorous, common sense approach to healthy eating. It was written by two sisters Janet and Greta Podleski, who previously wrote two other health cookbooks with a unique angle: "Looneyspoons" and "Crazy Plates". "Eat, Shrink, and Be Merry!" contains 150 easy-to-prepare recipes and a plethora of useful healthy-eating tips. The paper provides a glowing recommendation and review of the book, concluding with testimonials from satisfied readers.
From the Paper:
"The primary message is that by using appropriate ingredients and consuming judicious portions, you can dine sumptuously and lose weight at the same time on such fare as three-cheese lasagna, juicy beef burgers, Thai chicken pizza, and even double-chocolate cheesecake! The Podleski sisters prove that healthy, satisfying eating needn't be tasteless, mindnumbing, and tiresome, nor should it dominate your life if you simply prepare your favorite foods without all the fat. The recipes are simple and straightforward to follow and the ingredients are easy to find, calling for low fat varieties as well as whole grain products and plenty of fresh vegetables. Each recipe features an introduction, number of servings, easy-to-follow directions, useful tips that include possible substitutions, and nutritional information."
