501 simple ways to cut the sugar out of any diet.
From the back cover (copyrighted material):
This book is for the millions of people whose low-fat diets have let them down. For years, nutrition "experts" have been recommending low-fat diets for losing weight and fighting disease. But today, 30 percent more Americans are overweight than five years ago, and our overall health hasn't improved significantly.
Nationally recognized nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman exposes the hidden culprit in many "healthy" low-fat foods. Unsatisfying reduced-fat food is made more palatable by adding lots of sugar -- even though there are health risks associated with sugar that are comparable to fat. Studies show that sugar contributes to mood swings, weak immunity, diabetes, and certain kinds of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Yet our intake of sugar is increasing exponentially -- levels have shot up by 250 percent in the last hundred years!
This book makes it easy to get the sugar out, with 501 indispensable tips and 50 delicious recipes. Ann Louise Gittleman's low-sugar plan is easy to incorporate into your diet, yet filled wit the flavor and variety you need to stick to it.
