give you the largest number of nutrients for the smallest
number of calories.- Simple, quick, cooking practices that preserve as much of
a food’s natural constituents as possible. - And, just as important, that magical kind of pleasure that
comes from the delicious tastes and textures of real food.
I’ve incorporated these guiding principles into this book, Healthy
Weight Loss – Without Dieting, an approach that features no gimmicks
and no temporary food restrictions. As you are making changes in
your meal plan that facilitate your weight loss, you’ll be making the
exact same changes that you will be depending on in the future to
maintain your lower weight. The World’s Healthiest Foods set you
up for optimal weight and vibrant health for life, not just for the next
diet to appear on the block.
Our new paradigm does not involve counting calories, carbohy-
drates, grams of fat, or any other food component. It’s not that these
components are unimportant, however. Unless you burn more calories
than you obtain from your food, you will not be able to lose weight
in a steady or lasting way. Nobody ever—I repeat, EVER—lost
weight and kept it off while consuming excess calories (excess, in
this case, simply means more than the body needs). And if your
carbohydrate and fat intake soar outside of a healthy range, you’ll
have difficulty maintaining a healthy weight loss. The wonderful
benefit of our nutrient-rich World’s Healthiest Foods and our
Healthy Weight Loss Eating Plan, however, is the ability of these
featured foods to help do your counting for you!
We're confident that you will be able to balance your nutrient-rich
World’s Healthiest Foods intake effectively! The reason is simple:
our recipes and food preparation tips already combine whole, natural
foods in a balanced way. Our recipes are naturally balanced when it
comes to nutrition and also naturally delicious! That’s the beauty
and the magic of the World’s Healthiest Foods. They are foods that
combine tastes and textures in a way that gives you the most food
