Ron Goor

Responding to a surge in demand among the physicians and dieticians who run counseling programs based on their earlier best-selling books, Dr. Ron and Nancy Goor have devised the first-ever fitness and nutrition plan specifically for men. Studies show that there are more than 40 million overweight men in the United States. Yet men have never before been so interested in reading about their own health, as demonstrated by the explosive growth of such male-oriented magazines as Men's Health, with 1.5 million subscribers. Like the Goors' earlier books, The Choose to Lose Weight-Loss Plan for Men empowers the reader to control his weight by giving him all the information necessary to create his own clear, quantitative "fat budget." No gimmicks, no fluff. No single food is off limits or forbidden. Users can eat as much as they like. In addition, there is an entire section devoted to aerobic exercise, stretching, and weight training, to take maximum advantage of the fat-burning potential of the male body. This is not a fad diet but a sustainable, even enjoyable way of life for today's man.

More than 250 delicious, quick and easy, heart-healthy recipes, each containing a full calorie and fat analysis, from the kitchen of the best-selling authors of Choose to Lose and Eater's Choice. Long recognized as the nation's leading authorities on healthful eating, Dr. Ron and Nancy Goor have assembled, for the first time under one cover, the finest low-fat, high-flavor recipes in their culinary repertoire -- a wide-ranging collection of more than 250 scrumptious dishes, including 50 that have never been published before, along with slimmed-down, even lower-fat versions of most of the old favorites published in earlier editions of Eater's Choice. Each recipe bears the user-friendly stamp that runs through all of the Goors' books. The instructions are foolproof and clear: beginners will have no trouble turning out delicious, heart-healthy meals. Techniques have been streamlined and prep times have been minimized, so that eating well is now an attainable goal, and ingredients are available in any supermarket. Eater's Choice Low-fat Cookbook provides hundreds of ways to put the lessons of the Goors' best-selling Eater's Choice and Choose to Lose to everyday use.

Leaders in the battle against fat and cholesterol, the Goors are back with completely revised and updated editions of America's best-selling guides to healthful eating. More than one million copies sold! Here is the fully revised and updated edition of the only weight-loss book that puts the reader in charge. By using the Goors' unique "budget" system, anyone can create a personal plan for permanent weight loss. Included in this new edition are the real story behind high-protein fad diets, why new diet pills don't work, how the fat substitute Olestra can be dangerous, and updated food tables that feature convenience foods and items from fast-food chains. At the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Ron Goor was the coordinator of the landmark study that linked elevated blood cholesterol and heart attack risk. His subsequent role as head of the National Cholesterol Education Program alerted Americans to the problems of their high-fat diet, changing the eating habits of the nation. With his wife, Nancy, he has co-written the best-selling Eater's Choice Low-fat Cookbook and Eater's Choice.

Fully revised and updated, Eater's Choice recommends a simple method to reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 60 percent. Eater's Choice, a nationwide bestseller, is recommended by doctors and professional dietitians more often than any other book for people who want to lower blood cholesterol and live longer, healthier lives. The cornerstone of the Goor series, this fully revised edition recommends recent groundbreaking methods to control cardiac risk factors and provides information about the latest cholesterol-lowering drugs. Updated food tables make it easier than ever to choose the right foods for your diet.
