Team up with your Instant Pot (or any other brand of electric pressure cooker) to control or lose weight with the quick, delicious, and waist-conscious recipes of Thinner in an Instant . There are loads of Instant Pot cookbooks. However, almost all are filled with rich recipes that taste decent but deliver a nasty caloric punch right to your waistline. Here's a tasty and good-for-you alternative. In Thinner in an Instant , Nancy S. Hughes, one of the most-respected and best-selling cookbook authors in the US on health-related topics, offers up the first and only book that will help you watch or lose weight by cooking with an electric pressure cooker . Each recipe maxes out at 350 calories per serving and comes with a complete nutritional analysis , including calories, fats, cholesterol, salt, and other information that is important to you if you are a health-savvy or weight-conscious cook--or if someone you cook for needs help losing a few pounds. These are soul-satisfying dinners that won't leave you hungry : Beef Burgundy on Sweet Potato Mash, Seafood Gumbo, and Greek Lemon Chicken with Asparagus, to name just a few.

Plus, there are delectable, yet lo-cal, desserts , like Upside Down Chocolate Crusted Cheesecake and Lemon-Berry Bread Pudding, to round out the meal. At last, weight-watching and calorie-conscious cooks and eaters can enjoy the speed, convenience, and ease-of-use of the Instant Pot and its cousins.
