Finally! Food with Southwest Flair for Diabetics—and Their Families!Dear Friends,After being diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, I decided to follow up my bestselling book Fat Free and Ultra Lowfat Recipes by writing a cookbook of tasty dishes for diabetics. There was such a terrific response from folks around the country to Real Food for People with Diabetes that I decided it was time we had our own cookbook of America's favorite ethnic food, Mexican and Southwestern cooking. As a diabetic, I still want all the old favorites and comfort foods I grew up with instead of the boring and bland choices normally available. And when it comes to Mexican food, I love the spicy flavors and zest of the real thing. So, as I've done before, I developed recipes for authentic-tasting dishes that are lowfat and low-calorie—delicious and healthful.Now, you too can savor enchiladas, tamales, and burritos filled with cheese, sour cream, refried beans, and chunky salsa and still maintain a safe, healthy, diabetic diet. Each quick, hassle-free recipe includes a nutritional breakdown and lists the diabetic exchanges to take the work out of cooking for a diabetic lifestyle.To your good health and enjoyment,DorisWith this collection of more than 150 enticing soups, salads, side dishes, entrées, and desserts you will find it easy to limit fat without sacrificing flavor. Enjoy "real Mexican foods" such as:Fiesta Tortilla Corn Chowder · Chicken Taco Salad · Cheesy Nachos · Green Chili Quesadillas · Meaty Zesty Chili · Southwest Grilled Steaks · Veggie Fajitas · Blackened Chicken Enchiladas · Skillet Southwest Potatoes · Jalapeño Corn Bread with Cheese · Hot Cinnamon Fruit Sauce · Chocolate Pancakes · And many more!

Following on the heels of his hugely popular blockbuster, The 5-Factor Diet, celebrity trainer and nutritionist Harley Pasternak has searched the world to add a little variety and spice to your weight loss plan. The 5-Factor World Diet takes the 5-Factor principle–five meals a day, five core ingredients, five-minute prep time–and incorporates the best foods and nutritional habits from ten of the world’s healthiest countries. While jetting to exotic locales with some of Hollywood's biggest stars as their personal health and fitness expert, Pasternak has sampled local cuisine from many corners of the world. Consequently he has made a fascinating discovery: the farther he journeyed from the United States, the easier it was to seek out foods that were both nourishing and slimming. Now he reveals the international diet secrets of the world’s healthiest people, including • the self-control technique used by the Japanese that prevents them from overeating.• the trick to combating heart disease in France (it's not just the wine).• the reason Swedes stay slim and trim year round and have among the highest average life expectancies (80.74 years).• the key to Singapore's low obesity rate (less than 2%).• an explanation why notorious food-loving Italians are among the healthiest people in the world Pasternak also shares helpful advice about ordering in restaurants, as well as pantry-stocking and cooking tips. With suggested menus and more than 120 delicious recipes–from Japanese Chicken Yakatori and French Ratatouille to Chapchae Korean Stirfry and Oven Baked Swedish Meatballs–The 5-Factor World Diet will keep you healthy, fit, and looking your absolute best.
