Synopsis: From the masters, you'll learn how to get yourself to do what you know you need to do... forever. You'll learn how to eat what you really want - without guilt. How to handle cravings and overcome the deprivation syndrome. How to enjoy food without being a slave to the scale or to calorie-counters. How to stay motivated long after you reach your goal weight. Eating Thin for Life also includes an easy weight-loss plan to get you started - 21 days of lively, varied meals from the masters that you can mix and match without struggling with complicated "exchanges" or fancy recipes. Best of all, the masters share 122 of their favorite low-fat recipes: breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and desserts that they return to again and again. Plus dozens of tips on everything from how to cut fat corners in your own recipes to how to deal with your tough times of day without overeating.

Review: Anne Fletcher is a registered dietician who studied 208 masters who succeeded in losing an average of 64 pounds and keeping the weight off. She revealed their keys to success in Thin for Life. In Eating Thin for Life, Fletcher explores the eating habits and recipes of these weight-control successes. They share how they ate when they were heavy, how they motivated themselves to change, what eating plans helped them lose weight, and how they continue to keep their weight low. The masters share the strategies that help them stick to healthy, slimming eating choices--and enjoy the foods they choose. The book is particularly remarkable because there isn't some celebrity or expert telling you what to eat: The people who have accomplished their goals in diverse ways describe how they did it, with Fletcher filling in nutritional information to supplement the masters' points.

Eating Thin for Life is divided into food secrets (such as how to control binge eating and how to eat in restaurants), menu plans (with calorie and fat analysis), and 122 favorite recipes (with nutritional breakdowns). Quotes and stories from the masters make you feel that if they could do it, so can you. --Joan Price

Review: "No gimmicks here, just a wealth of advice, tips, and inspiration from real people who have lost weight and kept it off for years. A must read for anyone struggling with a weight problem." --Good Housekeeping
