"Eater's Choice" is a book filled with tips on how to lower your cholesterol. It has chapters describing what cholesterol is and how to lower it; how your heart works; making the right choices; other risks for coronary heart disease; ensuring a balanced diet; and cholesterol guidelines for tots to teens. The book also includes one week of meal plans; recipes; and food tables that contain both saturated fat calories and total fat calories for a wide variety of foods and products. There is also a section that tells you what food items you should always have in stock. The back of the book has Appendixes that explain how to keep a food record; explanatory notes for guidelines; a glossary; and a table of equivalent measures.

"Eater's Choice" is a good book for people who want to lower their cholesterol through diet. The book is evenly divided between information on cholesterol, health tips, recipes, and the food tables. The main goal of the book is to help readers lower their cholesterol and their risk of heart disease. Until I read the book I thought the only way to lower cholesterol was by eliminating cholesterol in my diet but "Eater's Choice" focuses on eliminating fats and saturated fat from your diet and not the cholesterol content of foods you eat. My copy was last updated in 1999 and I could not find a newer edition. The book could use a further update since the food labels they show as illustrations do not include trans fats.

While I found the entire book to be interesting, I found the recipes in the book as well as the food table to be the most useful. But, while I want to lower my cholesterol, I'm not convinced that diet is the way to go since other members of my family eat the same meals I do and do not have high cholesterol. Nor am I all that good about following a good plan. Still, "Eater's Choice" gave me several pointers and is a good first step towards lowering cholesterol.
