Janet and Greta Podleski's Eat, Shrink And Be Merry Cookbook Review

Eat, Shrink & Be Merry, the third cookbook by Janet and Greta Podleski, was published in 2005. It is another fantastic, low-fat cookbook featuring over 150 wonderful recipes for your favorite foods without all the fat. The Podleskis offer common sense ways to 'lose the flab' as well as nutritional advice that will help clear up misconceptions and get you on the right track. More than 200 cartoons, jokes and puns as well as much trivia help make this cookbook different from any other cookbook you've ever seen!

The Podleski sisters were encouraged to create this, their latest book, by the many stories shared by the fans and readers of their previous cookbooks. One of my favorite stories which is shared in the beginning of Eat, Shrink and Be Merry is that of Greta's encounter with a clerk at a grocery store. The clerk informed her that he was enjoying a new low-carb diet. Previously he had drank six bottles of beer a week but now that low-carb beer is available, he has 12 cans and does not worry about it because it is good for him. He went on to add that he had stopped sending apples in his children's lunches because he knew now that they were packed with "poisonous carbs." When Greta attempted to correct the misconceptions of the clerk someone else who was listening to her response suggested that she should write a book since even this individual did not have any idea what they were supposed to eat anymore. Greta thought that was a good idea...and Eat, Shrink and Be Merry was born. If you're a bit confused about some of these diet trends, you might want to check out this book, too.
