Weigh of Life

Beverly Slay, a 15 year veteran of hypoglycemia, cherishes a normal blood sugar. Her doctors' advice is to keep her weight within an acceptable range & exercise to keep the pendulum from swinging into diabetes. After a couple of yoyo weight loss programs, Slay said, "Fooey! This is ridiculous!" Thus the ultra low-fat cookbook A WEIGH OF LIFE was born. Slay converted favorite family dishes to ultra low-fat. This works! It isn't a diet, but a way of life in her kitchen. Under the guidance of a registered dietician, Slay talks in simple, easy to understand language about the breakdown of fat in the body & ways to drastically reduce fat in recipes without loss of taste. The substitution of Butter Buds is part of the basis for the ultra low-fat recipes. Other key mainstays are the fat reduction process of browning & rinsing ground beef, chicken & turkey & identifying lean & fatty fish & the better preparation method for each. A special section is devoted to "Young Cooks" touting recipes for latch-key kids. These recipes require no supervision & advise exercise after each snack to avoid "sofa spuds."
