Do you have trouble sticking to a diet because your family demands "real" food and you can't resist joining them? When giving a party, do you tell yourself you can't force your guests to diet just because you're trying to loser weight? Or do you just find yourself overwhelmed by unbearable cravings for such traditional diet destroyers as crepes, cream puffs, and homemade breads or candies? Not only can you can indulge in many formerly forbidden treats, but you can also cook with and drink beer and wine, saute and stir fry with oil, and eat popcorn, peanut butter, dried fruit, coconut, honey, and sugar.

With this cookbook, you can indulge in these and countless other foods that have been incorporated into delicious and attractive meals and snacks to suit any occasion from a family breakfast to a New Year's celebration. The widely varied, nutritionally balanced menus are grouped by days of the week and weeks of the year to make dieting more interesting, and although you can easily interchange weekly menus and recipes, they have been planned to take advantage of the seasonal availability and lowered costs of various foods throughout the course of the year. The over 500 mouth-watering recipes include complete calorie, carbohydrate, sodium, protein and fat counts, so that you will be able to use them no matter what special dietary needs or restrictions you have.
