Eating Well Magazine Collaborates With Dr. Jean Harvey-Berino on her New Book!

The Eating Well Diet! 7 Steps to a New, Trimmer You! These days there is an overwhelming array of quirky fad diets, from the grapefruit diet to the no-diet diets, and of course, the no-carb, low-carb, good-carb diets. You have learned to eat like South Beach socialites, Japanese fishermen, svelte French women, and wine-country aficionados. You have joined exercise clubs, and bought the latest workout videos. All these tactics might have even worked until they didn’t. But getting thin and staying thin does not have to be an impossible dream. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to lose weight and keep it off. After 15 years of weight-loss research and working directly with thousands of people trying to get trim and feel healthier, noted nutritionist Dr. Jean Harvey-Berino, and EatingWell Magazine’s Nutrition Editor, Joyce Hendley, have discovered that almost everyone knows the basic truth: to lose the weight, you need to eat less and move more. The question is how to make it permanent. The EatingWell Diet (The Countryman Press; April 16, 2007; $24.95 hardcover) provides the missing link: 7 easy steps that work toward lasting behavioral change which is something most diet plans never discuss. The EatingWell Diet is not a fad diet that you “go on” (and, eventually “go off”). It is a lifestyle plan stemming from a groundbreaking weight loss program created at the University of Vermont, one of the country’s leading weight-loss research centers. Funded by the National Institute of Health, the VTrim behavioral weight-management program provides dieters with steps clinically proven to work. You will learn: self-coaching, keeping track of your eating and exercise behaviors, how to make good food choices and sensible portion sizes, how to start and sustain an exercise program, how to stay motivated and plan your lifetime strategy for success. Even if you’re cutting calories, you still want to eat great-tasting food. Because this book is from EatingWell Magazine, the premier magazine for food and health, it’s as much about flavor as it is about retaining a healthy lifestyle. With more than 150 recipes, The EatingWell Diet makes everyday healthy eating not only instinctive but also pleasurable. Real-life eating options and menus will leave readers’ taste buds delighted and their stomach full, including delicious choices for breakfast, lunches, dinners, guilt-free desserts, snacks and even entertaining such as Ham, Gruyure & Spinach Bread Pudding; Chili-rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon; Curried Chicken with Mango Salad; Crab Cake Burgers; Texas Toasts with Filet Mignon, Watercress & Herb Butter; Gingered Peach Gratin. Along with the recipes are savvy shopping lists, calorie-saving tricks and cooking techniques. Also, if you need an extra boost to get you started on the path to losing weight, a fast-track 28-day mix-and-match Meal and Menu Planner sets a course for gratifying, measurable results. Change your life and your self image in only four weeks. They have done the calorie counting and nutritional balancing to quickly jumpstart weight loss while you learn about meal patterns, portion sizes, and calories so you can change your own meal-planning and eating behavior for a lifetime. The EatingWell Diet is clear, practical, and spilling over with helpful tips and sidebars. Written in a friendly voice, these tools motivate and encourage readers to take pivotal steps toward losing weight and staying healthy. In addition to recipes, this book includes an impressive collection of self-help guidelines and charts so readers can keep track of weight-measurement, calculating BMI, waist measurement, portion sizes, calorie counts, and more.
