Available at independent bookstores, or on line at powells.com or chocosphere.com

The newly revised and expanded Eat(More) Chocolate-Lose Weight (Anyway): The Chocoholic’s Survival Guide and Practical Handbook is every bit as entertaining as it is informative.  Isham details in a very upbeat style all the facts about chocolate as well as her philosophical take on its use as a healthful food as well as both the means of and the reason for celebration.  New in this edition are several health conscious recipes such as Date Fudge, Chocolate Bottom Pumpkin Custard, and very nutritious Chocolate Gingerbread People; and an entirely new section03/09/2008elpful Eleven Step Program for the Chocolate Life remains essentially the same; a detailed guide to healthy weight control that allows for chocolate indulgence.
Anne’s goal is to influence her readers to seek the better quality of chocolate and to enable to them distinguish chocolate as nutritious food from celebratory chocolate confections; to become educated consumers of chocolate and everything else we eat; and to learn to balance level of activity with eating habits.  In her own words:  “If you eat like a farm hand and live like a Chinese Empress, you can’t expect to look like Scarlett Johansson.”
