About the Author:
Covert Bailey is a popular PBS personality and best-selling author on fitness and nutrition, whose Fit or Fat series of books has sold nearly 6 million copies. One of the first to emphasize body fat and body fat testing, he has taught millions of people about low-fat eating and adopting flexible exercise programs that are both fun and healthy. Covert Bailey earned his undergraduate degree at Harvard and received a M.S. degree in biochemistry from MIT. He likes to say that his training in graduate school was spent with fit rats and fat rats.
From Booklist:
When Covert Bailey speaks, millions listen. This minister of the "no-more-diet-disasters" regime (and author of five best-sellers, including Fit or Fat) now proselytizes for a new type of smart eating, one that targets low-fat, low-sugar, high-fiber, and balanced and varied meals. As always, his advice is eminently sensible. Only the 200 recipes, unfortunately, fall short; though most will be very acceptable to the mainstream American palate, few show any originality or much added taste or flavor--the reason, sadly, that many low-fat diets fail. Nonetheless, expect requests at the circulation counter because of his name. Barbara Jacobs
