You can’t be good at eating and drinking without the need for a good diet! I get a bunch of diet books along with healthy eating cookbooks. The new book by Audrey Johns “Lose Weight by Eating – 130 Amazing Clean-Eating recipe makeovers for guilt-free comfort food” might be the best this year. Get a copy NOW!
Popular blogger Audrey Johns lost 150 pounds in 11 months by eating all the foods she loved. Now she shares her secrets to help you lose weight, too!
At 275 pounds, Audrey Johns was unhealthy and unhappy—until the day she vowed to give up the “fake food”—frozen “diet” meals, low-cal sodas, quick-to-make boxed foods—and taught herself to cook her favorites from scratch. In less than a year, Audrey mastered the kitchen and lost more than 150 pounds (more than half her body weight), going from a size 24 to a size 4—all while pinching pennies. Now Audrey shares her story, insights, and clean-eating recipes to help you slim down. Lose Weight by Eating includes more than 130 mouth-watering recipes for family favorites, including pasta, scones, nachos, meat loaf, and cookies—all bursting with flavor but with fewer than 500 calories per meal. Most recipes use simple and inexpensive Smart Swaps and are full of hidden vegetables that keep you feeling fuller longer, and all are picky-kid-friendly and spouse-approved.
After losing more than 150 pounds, Audrey Johns started LoseWeightByEating.com, which has helped thousands of people. Her story has been featured on CBS’s The Doctors and on the cover of Woman’s World magazine, and she was a chef contestant on the second season of ABC’s The Taste. She also hosts a clean-eating video series on eHow.com, and writes food, wine, and travel columns for local magazines. She lives with her family in Atascadero, California.
