I’ve been working on my eating because I needed to lose weight badly. I still have at least 10 pounds to go and if I’m really good 20 more pounds would put me at my favorite size. I’ve already lose 15 pounds and it wasn’t by exercising and fasting it was by changing the way I eat. That’s it! I’m sure that if I started exercising in addition to eating right I would lose more, but I’m ok taking it off slowly.

Audrey Johns lost 150 pounds in 11 months by changing the way she ate. At 275 pounds, Audrey Johns was unhealthy and unhappy—until the day she vowed to give up the “fake food”—frozen “diet” meals, low-cal sodas, quick-to-make boxed foods—and taught herself to cook her favorites from scratch. In less than a year, Audrey mastered the kitchen and lost more than 150 pounds (more than half her body weight), going from a size 24 to a size 4—all while pinching pennies. Now Audrey shares her story, insights, and clean-eating recipes to help you slim down. Lose Weight by Eating includes more than 130 mouth-watering recipes for family favorites, including pasta, scones, nachos, meat loaf, and cookies—all bursting with flavor but with fewer than 500 calories per meal.
