Dr. Robert Lustig’s message that a calorie is not a calorie revolutionized our understanding of weight loss and nutrition. But in order to avoid the hidden sugars that threaten our health and waistlines, Dr. Lustig warns that we must transform the way we shop, cook, and eat. Teaming up with Cindy Gershen—a chef who’s lost more than one-hundred pounds on his plan—Dr. Lustig shows readers how to:

   • Stock a pantry
   • Prepare more than 100 fast and delicious recipes
   • Feed a family—kids included—healthy foods they’ll love
   • Make entertaining easy and nutritious

More timely than ever now that newest edition of The Dietary Guidelines for Americans has for the first time placed hard limits on the amount of sugar we should consume, The Fat Chance Cookbook shows you how to lose weight, find your way back to health, and still enjoy delectable, memorable meals.
Robert H. Lustig, MD, has spent the past 16 years treating childhood obesity and studying the effects of sugar on the central nervous system and metabolism. He is the director of the UCSF Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health Program and also a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society. View titles by Robert H. Lustig
