| Raw vegetables are healthier than cooked vegetables. I don’t know where this old wives’ tale originated, but cooking actually enhances the absorption of vitamins and minerals. |

Recipes - Eat With the Program! - My idea of a great recipe is one that combines sophisticated flavors with healthy ingredients, doesn’t keep you in the kitchen for hours and, in the end, provides an enjoyable eating experience. The following recipes hit the mark in every way. More

Breakfast - Most days, most people have little time for breakfast. But as you can read in my books and in the Diet & Nutrition area of this website, a good breakfast is crucial in a healthy diet. And, it’ll get your metabolism going so you can burn calories for the rest of the day. More

Soups - Soups are the secret weapon in the fight against extra pounds. Many soups—including the ones here—are low in calories but extremely filling. I recommend starting a meal with a serving of soup. It’s so satisfying, you’ll be likely to eat less of your main course.

In fact, when they’re prepared right, even potatoes and coleslaw can be appropriate choices-- the variations on the theme here can be eaten without guilt. Like the beet dish coming up, they’re as nutritious as they are delicious. More

Desserts - The word “dessert” conjures up visions of high-calorie splurges that offer intense flavor but little in the way of nutrition. In fact, dessert doesn’t have to be a throwaway dish. Many desserts can provide the sweetness and indulgence you crave along with solid nutrition, be it vitamins and minerals from fruit or even some protein from nuts or egg whites. More
