Dear All,

I am wondering if anyone can recommend me a good cookbook. I am
currently 146lbs (5'9") and am in the market to lose 11lbs. I want to
do this a healthy, conscientious way, as in a low calorie diet vs. any
diet trends like the low carb diet.

I can't cook for my life, but am interested in learning. Can anyone
suggest a cookbook for me? I am tired of cookbooks that serve like, 10
people, and want a simple cookbook for singles. I do not eat red meat
but love fish. I also want a cookbook with a good variety/selection of
cookbooks; it'd be great to have something with over 100 recipes.

Please let me know!

Thanks,

L

You want to go from very slim (BMI 21) to extremely slim (BMI 19).

I am curious if you have great reasons for that, like being a stage
performer of some sort. Or, do you want to achieve "life extension"
through "calorie restriction" and possess a good deal of "willpower".

If not, then, in my opinion, more harm than good will come out of
this.

Hopefully, you have that book available on the UK site.

Amazon.com offers a number of "Cooking for One" style cookbooks, some are
healthier choices. I think I have a copy of "Healthy Cooking for Singles &
Doubles." Another thing you could do is make a recipe for 4 but with half
the ingredients or make the full amount, portion it out and freeze the other
3 portions for future meals. Read the reviews to get an idea if the book is
what you're looking for.
