I've long known "pre-gaming" your meal is a good idea. You eat fewer calories by doing some quick and simple things before you sit down to eat a meal. I use water to quell the Ghrelin (hunger hormone). The author cited studies showing that soup is also an effective lower calorie way to squelch overeating than other appetizers.She even gives specific recipes for lower calorie soups. She knows what constitutes good, healthy carbs from veggies and fruits.I have to disagree with her inclusion of canned goods. Canned goods are known to leech BPA (which is toxic). Besides, fresh ingredients taste better anyway. Her Lite and Tasty Chili with crackpot cooked black beans (instead of canned) and fresh, diced tomatoes (instead of canned) sounds very tasty.I give it 4 stars because the recipes sound good I'd recommend staying away from canned stuff wherever possible.
