Isham details in an upbeat style all the facts about chocolate as well as her philosophical take on its use as a healthful food and 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 yummy-nutritious Chocolate Gingerbread People; and an entirely new section: Chocolate for Children.
The practical and helpful Eleven Step Program for the Chocolate Life remains essentially the same; a detailed guide to healthy weight control that allows for chocolate indulgence. Isham is obviously devoted to the point of obsession to chocolate, yet she approaches the subject pragmatically and with excellent advice for anyone, whether chocolate devotee or not, interested in healthy good looks and youthful longevity.

The Texas author summarized her latest work this way:

The Chocoholic’s Survival Guide is a lifestyle book. It is about morphing your self from an out-of-control, indiscriminate chocoholic into a sleek, svelte, sophisticated connoisseur of fine chocolate. It’s about taking responsibility for what you eat and not settling for inferior food.

Anne’s goal is to influence her readers to seek the better quality of chocolate, to become educated consumers of chocolate and everything else we eat, to enable them to distinguish chocolate as nutritious food from celebratory chocolate confections and to learn to balance level of activity with eating habits.

The same day Eat Chocolate – Lose Weight: The Chocoholic’s Survival Guide and Practical Handbook was published, Anne loaded her dog, Zuni, and several cases of books into her Prius and launched her own promotional book tour of Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. Driving through the mountain passes of Colorado in a raging blizzard, on wheels the size of dinner plates, is an example of Isham’s resourcefulness and resolve.

Isham is also devoted to the cause of independent chocolatiers and independent bookstores. Since her first book on chocolate came out in January 2004, Isham’s books have been distributed only to locally owned and operated businesses.

If you eat like a farm hand and live like a Chinese Empress, you can’t expect to look like Scarlett Johansson.

They said: You Can’t Do That. Oh yeah?

Conventional wisdom says it is nigh impossible to sell an independently published book, especially without the help of a major distributor.

But conventional wisdom never met Anne Isham. Look under any rock in Texas Hill Country and you’ll likely find an author, but you’ll find precious few like Anne Isham.

After selling out the first two printings of
Eat Chocolate – Lose Weight: The Chocoholic’s Survival Guide and Practical Handbook
Isham has revised, expanded and updated her fascinating multi-faceted publication on the many wondrous benefits of chocolate, when combined with a healthy life style.

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.
