More Than a Cookbook&;A One-of-a-Kind Toolkit to Help You Make Smart Calorie Decisions Every Time You Eat
You know that balancing the calories you take in and burn off is the foundation of weight control. But actually achieving that balance between eating and exercise is a daily challenge for most of us.

Here is an essential repertoire of 200 smart recipes&;nutrient-rich, delicious, foolproof, and ideal for busy individuals and families.
