Complete Idiot's Guide To Eating Smart (1996)
You're no idiot, of course. You take your vitamins every day, pick the low-fat muffin over its sinful twin, and even muster up just enough energy to take an occasional brisk walk. But when it comes to figuring out how to incorporate the five food groups into your diet and stay on a realistic exercise program for life, you feel like you're trying to solve a mystery without any clues. Don't give up yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Smart provides you with everything you need to know about eating healthy and staying fit--a nutrition tune-up for life! Feel confident about deciphering nutrition labels going to the grocery store and restaurants, and managing your weight.

Complete Idiot's Guide to Total Nutrition (1999)
With all the constant debate over diet fads, proper nutrition is slipping through the cracks. This revised and updated guide places the emphasis on good health by informing families of everything they need to know to get the best nutrition—from daily vitamin and mineral intake and facts about fats and cholesterol, to advice on shopping for healthy foods, and much more.

The 90/10 Weight-Loss Plan (2001)
The 90/10 plan was developed especially for people who tried to lose weight but just couldn’t give up their favorite foods. It is a way of eating that is so healthy and nutritious you can still indulge your Fun Food fantasies—because those indulgences are actually a part of the plan.

The 90/10 plan offers three different caloric levels based on the amount of weight you want to lose and the amount of exercise you are willing to commit to each week. Once you’ve selected your goal, you’ll have two full weeks of deliciously different breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks—that’s forty-two meals for each plan! Each meal is nutritionally balanced as well as calorically manipulated/designed so that you can swap meals and always have foods you like. If your desired weight loss is not reached at the end of two weeks, simply repeat the plan until your goal is attained.

The 90/10 plan is perfectly adjusted to provide approximately 50 percent of total calories from quality carbohydrates, moderate amounts from lean protein, and limited amounts from fat—proportions that research has proven to be optimal for good health and disease prevention. The meal plans are balanced to provide you with the most vitamins and minerals possible for the controlled amount of calories consumed. The 90/10 menus are also low in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, and high in fiber, phytochemicals, and antioxidants, all of which will help to reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
