Every recipe has been slimmed down to a fraction of its usual calorie cost without robbing it of flavour or its French character. From light and delightful Tarte aux Pommes and Mousse au Chocolat to irresistible Coq au Vin Blanc and Croque Monsieur, Harry has proved once again that fat and flavour don't always go hand in hand . . .

This honest memoir of the narrator ́s 100 lb. weight loss success departs from the typical food-focused diet book. Part autobiographical, part essay, sometimes a rant, it simply and clearly explains the science that effects body weight, and offers compelling reasons to get off the excess. Rather than sales pitches for exotic diet supplements, exercise contraptions or seldom used tapes, it gives tried and true strategies to stop overeating, served up with generous helpings of inspiration. It ́s an easy read with humorous moments and is filled with insights for choosing and using the foods you need. WHAT OTHERS WROTE: "This is not your ordinary weight loss book.
