Eating Light 400 Calories Bookazine: No-Hassle Ways to Lose Weight This Year Review + Giveaway!

The new year is here and a lot of us are starting to think about our personal goals and what we want to accomplish for ourselves this year. One New Year's resolution that is usually on everyone's mind, especially during the beginning of a new year, is to start eating right and get in shape.

If you're starting to get into your slim-down plan for the year like I am, I recommend getting this fantastic new bookazine featuring recipes to help you lose weight faster - Eating Light 400 Calories or Less, recently released by Hearst Magazines.


It's a 116-page bookazine loaded with research-backed dieting tips, slender choices for dining out, and satisfying recipes designed to help you stay on track, all developed and tested by the editors of Good Housekeeping, Redbook, and Country Living.

I am loving the recipes from Eating Light 400 Calories! They're easy to make and the 52 helpful tips- one for every week of the year- will really help me make healthy choices everyday! The recipes are broken down by season to draw upon fresh ingredients, so I can eat what I crave while being kind to my waistline. It's also full of valuable advice like ordering skinny meals at restaurants, choosing beverages wisely, and blasting belly fat (try green tea, healthy fats, and purple foods!). Plus, a slim-down plan indicates how many calories you should consume at each meal, so you’ll lose those extra unwanted pounds safely and confidently.

Check out the delicious recipes from this bookazine like Low-Fat Lasagna, Chicken Pot Pie, Basil Orange Chicken, Grilled Swordfish Kabobs with Parsley-Olive Salsa and more! Yummmm!

On newsstands now, Eating Light 400 Calories or Less retails for $9.99 and can also be downloaded as a digital edition on Zinio.com and on Barnes and Noble for Nook at www.bn.com.
