What To Eat!
[4]In EAT TO LOSE, EAT TO WIN, Rachel Beller (nutritionist/The Biggest Loser T.V. show) dishes out realistic, easy-to-follow plans that are based on scientific research, not fads or myths and delivered in a conversational tone.
“My book is a fun yet realistic starter kit that puts skinny solutions into shopping carts and onto plates,” says Beller. “But that’s just a start. Yes, I can make you thinner so you look better in a 3-way mirror. That’s easy! My real goal is to make you both thin and healthy — for life.”
Beller’s signature “Food Autopsy™” Alerts: Popular dishes go under the knife to expose the real nutrients (or lack thereof). For example, a typical spinach roll contains the carb equivalent of approximately 3 slices of white bread dyed green.

While most diet books focus on what people can’t eat, EAT TO LOSE, EAT TO WIN emphasizes what people should eat and even how to buy it.
