The how not to diet cookbook 100+ recipes for healthy, permanent weight loss

Michael Greger

Book - 2020

"From Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM, the author of the New York Times bestseller How Not to Die, comes a four-color, fully illustrated cookbook that shares the science of long-term weight-loss success. Dr. Michael Greger founded the viral website Nutritionfacts.org with the aim to educate the public about what healthy eating looks like and connect them with a community through food-related podcasts, videos, and blogs. Since then, Nutritionfacts.org has grown and so has Dr. Greger's platform. How Not to Diet and the How Not to Diet Cookbook were instant hits, and now he's back with a new book about mindful dieting--how to eat well, lose, and keep unwanted weight off in a healthy, accessible way that's not so much a diet as ...it is a lifestyle. Greger offers readers delicious yet healthy options that allow them to ditch the idea of "dieting" altogether. As outlined in his book How Not to Diet, Greger believes that identifying the twenty-one weight-loss accelerators in our bodies and incorporating new, cutting-edge medical discoveries are integral in putting an end to the all-consuming activity of counting calories and getting involved in expensive juice cleanses and Weight Watchers schemes. How Not to Diet Cookbook is primed to be a revolutionary new addition to the cookbook industry: incredibly effective and designed for everyone looking to make changes to their dietary habits to improve their quality of life, weight loss notwithstanding"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In this well-rounded recipe collection, physician Greger (How Not to Diet) argues persuasively that meals based on whole plant foods can lead to weight loss while still packing in flavor. In addition to the more than 100 recipes designed to keep pounds off and satisfaction up, he advocates for scrapping dieting altogether: "Going on a diet implies that at some point, you will go off the diet." Among his vegan offerings are soups and salads including basil pesto-topped minestrone and tahini-enlivened barley tabbouleh salad. Heartier fare can be found in a pasta section that features a rich cauliflower Alfredo linguine with roasted asparagus, as well as in a black bean chili brightened with butternut squash, and whole-grain-stuffed peppers with a white bean, miso and tomato "cheesy" sauce. Desserts are mostly fruit-based, like a luscious black forest chia pudding with cherries and bananas. Gregor's "Daily Dozen," a checklist of foods such as beans and berries that he encourages people to fit into their daily routines, is accompanied by weight loss strategies like adding 20 minutes to meal times so as to "allow your natural satiety signals to take full effect." This is perfect for those looking to shed pounds and still eat well. (Dec.)
