The Nutri/System Flavor Set-Point Weight Loss Cookbook

This is an older book no longer published by the Nutrisystem people and its a shame; it is an excellent adendum to the diet system that they sell. I recently began the nutisystem program and although the food is good, I crave homecooking once and awhile and this helps keep me on track. I have read ALOT of diet books over the years and this made points about needing varied tastes, textures and varieties to keep a dieter satisfied - -I don't think I have ever seen that emphasiized prior to this book. The recipes are slightly out of date as to the use of sweetners and a few other things, but nothing that can't be altered and all the dishes I have tried are good!

I have kept this cookbook on my shelf and refer to it frequently for ideas on really tasty lowfat meals/ entres and appetizers. The Nutri System program was based around low fat low cal eating with high flavor food choices. I love the thai spring rolls and other exotic dishes here. Many ethic foods with lots of exotic spices - you really work on tasting new things and trying new foods with this cookbook. I usually plan menus using a couple of recipes from here and mixing them with some of my own low-carb dishs gleaned from Atkins or South Beach type plans. Am back in diet zone this spring and am pulling out this trusty favorite for healthy eating ideas. My favorite cookbooks mix imaginative dishes with ones that just plain taste good- and this one meets those criteria if you are dieting or just keeping your fats down to keep from dieting!
