How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds--And How You Can Too!

Forget those low-fat diets and lose weight without benefit of flavor or nutrition: that's the satirical message of this amusing book. Tongue in cheek, the author advocates fat and plenty of it, and sees the often-discredited dishes of bygone days as positives: Baked Peppers with Marshmallow Sauce, anyone? Eggs Oriental with cheese, ketchup, and mushroom soup? Liver Mold? Underneath the jokes, however, is a serious message: fad diets don't work, fat is bad, and lowering carbohydrates is what takes the weight off. Hilarious period illustrations reinforce the message.
