About the Author:

A graduate of the University of Western Illinois, Lund founded Healthy Exchanges, a company that published a monthly newsletter, booklets, and inspirational audio and videotapes. She became a recognized spokeswoman for healthier eating, landing features in the New York Times, People, and Forbes, appearing on radio shows, and starring in her own cooking show, JoAnna Lund's HELP Yourself. Lund died of breast cancer in 2006.

From Booklist:

Calcium's importance in the diet has been acknowledged for decades, but only recently has the connection between calcium-deficient diets and diseases such as osteoporosis been understood. For most people, dietary calcium comes largely from dairy products. Since many of the dairy products are also rich in unwanted butterfat, alternative calcium sources become critical for people trying to control weight. Lund's series of diet cookbooks has established a simple "exchange" system, portioning different food groups both to establish nutritional balance and to restrict calorie consumption. Lund provides exchange ratings for each of her recipes so that readers can carefully control their food intake. Lund's insistence on using only ingredients found virtually anywhere in the U.S. makes her diet recipes particularly useful to extended audiences. Italian and Mexican influences in this book impart the gusto so often missing in diet cookbooks and provide increased incentive to stick to a regimen. Mark Knoblauch
