Editorial Review:
Maybe you want to control your weight, combat high cholesterol, or fight heart disease. Perhaps your doctor suggested a low fat diet, or perhaps you just know you should eat better. Whatever your reason, this is the cookbook to get you moving in the right direction. The good news is that eating more healthfully isn’t boring anymore; it means bringing taste, fun, and variety to what you eat. And The American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook, a treasure trove of nearly 200 recipes, is proof. From tempting appetizers like Crab Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce to amazing main courses like Peppery Beef with Blue Cheese Sauce and luscious desserts like Sugar-Dusted Mocha Brownies, the appealing recipes and sound science in this book make healthful eating easy.
With the new American Heart Association dietary guidelines and all the latest information on cholesterol, this book is an invaluable reference for the health-conscious consumer. It tells in simple terms how cholesterol affects the body, differentiates between “good” and “bad” cholesterol, and discusses cholesterol-lowering drugs. Eating the American Heart Association way is sensible, healthful, and delicious.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great start to healthy
My husband was recently told he has high cholesterol. His doctor told him to make life changes if he wanted to see 50. We have tried several recipes and have liked all of them. They use simple ingrediants. If you have to add something to your cabinet, more than likely you will use it in more than one of the recipes.
Rating: - improving my diet
As a diabetic with a number of health issues, I found this cookbook to be most helpful in my fight to maintain good health. They are varied and simple to make.
Rating:  - Lose weight, lower cholesterol
This is a very informative book. As soon as my Dr. told me my cholesterol was too high, I bought it. After 2 months of reading how to change my eating habits and using the recipes, I was able to lower my cholesterol by 55 points! It would have received 5 stars if there were some pictures (there are none).
Rating: - Delicious and recipes have great nutritional stats
Every recipe I have made from this book has been delicious! I was surprised! And the recipes use common ingredients. Recipes are easy to assemble and the directions make sense. If only it had pictures! I think the revised editions have more pics. Great cookbook and I definitely recommend it for anyone concerned about improving their health.
Rating:  - Good recipes, annoying format
I'm not sure if there are different versions of this cookbook, but the one I bought is the size of a paperback novel. That makes it quite hard to use in the kitchen, because the pages and print are very small, and the book won't stay open on the counter unless you break the spine.
However, the recipes I've tried have been pretty good. Just look around to see if it comes in hardcover or another, easier, format.
