I bought this book at the library for 25 cents. It is very good. I wish I had the one they wrote specifically for loosing weight but this is a scientifically sound discussion of cholesterol. Interesting philosophy of healthy eating. The emphasis is on counting saturated fat calories. I appreciate the idea of keeping track of what you eat, because that's what I have been doing with calories. I suppose just having to track fat calories might be simpler in the long run after I got used to the idea. So many diet books have hobby horses that make them less trustworthy. Right now I am most interested in cookbooks that show ways to deal with fat issues. I don't follow recipes, but I do follow the ideas I read. The Deseret News today had an article on diet cookbooks and one of the interesting ones gave hints on what to do to make a recipe taste better after you had adjusted it for fat. Like adding a tablespoon of cocoa to an applesauce muffin to make it taste richer and less like applesauce.
