Synopsis

In this companion volume to his best-selling Smart Exercise, Covert Bailey teams with Ronda Gates to show you how to achieve and maintain your ideal weight without ever dieting. The secret is choosing the right foods, and the authors tell you exactly what your body needs. Especially useful is the unique Smart Eating Food Target, a pull-out diagram that grades foods according to their fat and fiber content. And the 200 recipes specifically keyed to the Food Target make it easy to cook meals that are as nutritious as they are tasty.

About this title

About the Author:

Covert Bailey is a popular PBS personality and best-selling author on fitness and nutrition, whose Fit or Fat series of books has sold nearly 6 million copies. One of the first to emphasize body fat and body fat testing, he has taught millions of people about low-fat eating and adopting flexible exercise programs that are both fun and healthy. Covert Bailey earned his undergraduate degree at Harvard and received a M.S. degree in biochemistry from MIT. He likes to say that his training in graduate school was spent with fit rats and fat rats.

From Booklist:

When Covert Bailey speaks, millions listen. This minister of the "no-more-diet-disasters" regime (and author of five best-sellers, including Fit or Fat) now proselytizes for a new type of smart eating, one that targets low-fat, low-sugar, high-fiber, and balanced and varied meals. As always, his advice is eminently sensible. Only the 200 recipes, unfortunately, fall short; though most will be very acceptable to the mainstream American palate, few show any originality or much added taste or flavor--the reason, sadly, that many low-fat diets fail. Nonetheless, expect requests at the circulation counter because of his name. Barbara Jacobs
