Studies show that when people eat out they consume hundreds more calories than they would if they ate at home. So it stands to reason that cooking and eating more meals at home is one of the most effective strategies to lose belly fat. That’s why David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, who have helped millions order smarter at restaurants, now extend their life-altering advice to America’s kitchens.

*Cook This, Not That! Skinny Comfort Foods* is not a typical cookbook. Along with recipes, it delivers an intelligent (and tasty!) strategy for controlling the number of calories you consume. By starting with the best ingredients and the right plan, cooks of any skill level can create delicious meals that actually help them burn more body fat. Best of all, these recipes produce traditional comfort foods, including macaroni and cheese, hamburgers, pizzas, grilled cheese sandwiches—even chocolate chip cookies. Here’s the logic: if these foods satisfy your hunger and taste buds, you’ll be far less likely to rush for a bag of chips or tub of ice cream two hours after dinner.

Cook This, Not That! books have reintroduced hundreds of thousands of people to the joy of cooking by making meal preparation fast and easy. Achieve restaurant tastes right in your own kitchen for a lot less money and much fewer calories.
