From the team that brought you the New York Times bestseller The Spark

This practical yet inspirational guide, which is based on the same easy, real-world principles as the SparkPeople program, takes the guesswork out of making delicious, healthy meals and losing weight-once and for all. Award-winning chef Meg Galvin and SparkRecipes editor Stepfanie Romine have paired up to create this collection of more than 160 satisfying, sustaining, and stress-free recipes that streamline your healthy-eating efforts.

With a focus on real food, generous portions, and great flavor, these recipes are not part of a fad diet. They aren’t about spending money on obscure ingredients, eliminating key components of a balanced diet, or slaving away for hours at the stove. They are about making smart choices and eating food you love to eat. But this is more than just a collection of recipes—it’s an education. The SparkPeople philosophy has always been about encouraging people to achieve personal goals with the help and support of others. And this cookbook works in the just the same way.

Along with the recipes, you’ll find step-by-step how-tos about the healthiest, most taste-enhancing cooking techniques; lists of kitchen essentials; and simple ingredient swaps that maximize flavor, while cutting fat and calories, plus you’ll read motivational SparkPeople success stories from real members who have used these recipes as part of their life-changing transformations.

In addition, you’ll find:

   • Results from the SparkPeople “Ditch the Diet” Taste Test, which proves that you don’t have to eat tasteless food to lose weight.
   • 150 meal ideas and recipes that take 30 minutes or less to prepare—plus dozens of other meals for days when you have more time.
   • Two weeks of meal plans that include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

So whether you’re a novice taking the first steps to improve your health or a seasoned cook just looking for new, healthy recipes to add to your repertoire, this cookbook is for you. Learn to love your food, lose the weight, and ditch the diet forever!

“Everything you need to know for cooking and eating healthy—and losing weight in the process. Packed with easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; techniques for maximizing flavor and cutting fat; and tips for stocking a healthy kitchen, this is an indispensible guide to getting good-for-you meals on the table fast.”
—Betty S. Wong, editor in chief, Fitness magazine

“As our country faces both an obesity epidemic, as well as a hunger and nutrition crisis in many communities, it is more important than ever that we all learn how to eat less expensive but more nutritious alternatives to fast food and ‘junk’ food. This book offers great tips, tools, and recipes; and proves that we can all enjoy eating good food, while getting healthier.”
—Dan Glickman, former Secretary of Agriculture

“Meg is one of the leading voices for putting sound nutrition into practice. Her commonsense approach to cooking, eating, and activity is one every physician and parent can easily embrace.”
—Christopher F. Bolling, M.D., pediatrician, Pediatric Associates; program chairman, American Academy of Pediatrics, Provisional Section on Obesity

“When Meg cooks for her family, she serves a large helping of sensibility. She believes in cooking and eating good food, and eating it together. This book will appeal to anyone who wants to embark on a journey of better health through the door of the kitchen.”
—Maggie Green, LD, RD; author of The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook

“The SparkPeople Cookbook is inspirational, motivational, and informational. And best of all, it features real feedback about healthy living from real people—people I can trust because they’ve been there and done that. I particularly love how each recipe comes with a handy chart so you can tell, at a glance, how many servings of veggies or fruit are in the dish or whether the recipe would be great for a dinner party. No gimmicks, no tricks—just healthy, fresh food and concrete advice from the wonderful members of SparkPeople.”
—Caitlin Boyle, blogger of HealthyTippingPoint.com, editor of OperationBeautiful.com, and author of Operation Beautiful

“The SparkPeople Cookbook is unlike any other cookbook I’ve read. It gives you the knowledge and know-how to make permanent lifestyle changes to your eating habits. Healthy eating should be simple—and even fun—and The SparkPeople Cookbook provides straightforward, interesting, and satisfying recipes that will help you lose weight without leaving you feeling deprived.”
—Tina Haupert, author and blogger, Carrots ‘N’ Cake
