In the past 40 years, Americans have become obsessed with diets and weight-loss programs; however, the population has not become thinner but has gained an average of 10 pounds. This may be because many people try to lose weight by severely limiting food intake, which new research tells us can actually cause weight gain. Instead, people who wish to lose weight should eat fat-burning foods, such as beans, pasta, fiber - even good fats. These foods stoke the body's fat burning fires and are used immediately for energy, rather than turning into fat. This follow-up to the best selling Fat-Burning Foods explains that changing one's eating lifestyle, not dieting, is the key to leaner, healthier life. Includes tasty fat-burning recipes for appetizers, entrees, breads and desserts. All recipes are edited by a registered dietitian.
