Abstract: A compilation of 800 recipes based on the use of natural foods is presented for aiding households to maintain a stable body weight, normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and to attain and maintain good health through sound nutrition. Guidance is provided for converting popular recipes into low calorie dishes (e.g., a typical serving of lasagna can be reduced from 556 calories to 240 calories). The recipes are essentially devoid of commercially-used additives. Guidelines are presented on the importance of reading food labels. Each of the 17 sections of recipes is introduced with a discussion of basic background information concerning nutritive value. The sections include dishes for: fiber, hor d'oeuvres, soups, salads, vegetables, breads, poultry, fish, meatless protein, tofu, entrees, breakfast dishes, brown-bag lunches, fast foods, desserts, and special items. A weight loss table, glossary, and bibliography are appended. (wz)
