Mark Bittman's cookbooks are great for giving you easy, no-fuss recipes that you can customize for your own tastes. I have The Food Matters Cookbook, his fish book (OUTSTANDING!), and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian -- they're all good, although the vegetarian book is the weakest of the three IMO.

Yeah, it's hard for me to take Bob Green seriously, since his one great testimonial is a smart woman with a will of iron, who still yo-yos desperately between extreme diets and rapid weight gain. The important part isn't LOSING weight, it's being able to keep it off -- and his only answer to that is...

I don't have that much of a sweet tooth -- my problem was SNACKS, all the way. Eating food that was floating around the office, hitting the vending machine, nibblings something while cooking, and especially eating in the evenings. And diets just made it worse -- I would rush through or skimp on dinn...

Giving up eating after dinner was the single hardest thing for me when I started No S. It took weeks before I stopped spending the evenings CRAVING something to eat, because I was just so used to eating a lot then. However, I think breaking that habit is probably the single most useful change I've m...

Food is pretty essential, both as a source of pleasure and to, you know, keep us from DYING -- I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking about it! I think if we as a society thought about food more and gave it the respect it deserved, we would probably spend less time driving around eating ...

I think one of the things that's useful about No S is that you don't have to worry about a stopping point -- when am I thin enough? Am I still too fat when I look like Jennifer Lopez (who, whatever you think of her as an artist, has a GORGEOUS body IMO)? When you get to a good weight, you're not goi...

You are a competent adult, not a toddler. No one should be forbidding you to walk. It's good that he cares, but you can't let his paranoia about safety set unreasonable limits on your life -- it's not like you want to take up bungee-jumping! Walk where you'll be around other people, and/or during da...
