Low Point Family Meals

by Cas Clarke and Weight Watchers

Published 6 January 2003
Weight Watchers is the name that everyone associates with weight loss. For the past 35 years the organisation has helped millions of people in the UK lose weight. This series of bright, modern cookbooks allows dieters to eat the food they love, but in healthy, low-fat versions. Cooking for the family can be difficult if one member is dieting. That's where Weight Watchers recipes really win out. A large proportion of their membership consists of mums with growing families - Weight Watchers knows that cooking twice for every meal is not a viable option. That's why they've put together Low Point Family Meals. It's full of the sort of food that families love, but reduced in fat and calories so it can't jeopardise any one's diet. The food is so filling that no one need ever know that these are weight-loss recipes - unless you tell them. There are some fabulous bakes and casseroles (try Tortilla-topped Chicken Bake or French-style Sausage Casserole), spicy curries (such as Dominican Vegetable Curry) and a wonderful selection of quick kebabs and stir-fries. And to finish there are some quick cakes and desserts, including mini baked doughnuts - only point/70 calories each.

Winter Warmers

Weight Watchers is the name that everyone associates with weight loss. For the past 35 years the organisation has helped millions of people in the UK lose weight. This series of bright, modern cookbooks allows dieters to eat the food they love, but in healthy, low-fat versions. Winter can be a bit glum for dieters. No one feels much like salad while the rest of the family are tucking into hearty casseroles and calorific puddings. Winter Warmers has a great selection of satisfying and warming food, but in low fat, low cal versions that can be easily incorporated into anyone's diet. There are stews, casseroles, savoury bakes and some very decadent-sounding puddings and desserts. And, since winter is especially full of those occasions that spell danger to the dieter (Christmas lunch, family get-togethers, bonfire night office parties), there's a whole section devoted to festive and party food. All of which means that when winter finally ends you can wear those summer clothes with pride!
