Is it possible to have your cake and be fit, too? See how acclaimed chef, best-selling author and television host Kathleen Daelemans combines humor, culinary technique and sensible approaches to good health in Cooking Thin and Loving Food with Chef Kathleen. "Everyone can learn to cook fast, live well, achieve and maintain weight loss," Daelemans says.

The program blends simple meal preparation ideas with real-life stories to suit today's tastes and lifestyles. It examines the goals and hopes of guests and the reality of implementing lifestyle changes at home, at work and in social settings to reveal the combination of mental and emotional commitment and resolve required to lose and maintain weight loss.

"No diet food required. Flavor first, health second," says Daelemans, "If I thought for a single second I'd been dieting for the past 13 years I never would have lost a single pound. There's no reason you can't leave the table happy and satisfied every time you sit down to eat." Daelemans demonstrates sumptuous, speedy suppers like, Potato Seafood Chowder, Pasta with Baby Back Rib Sauce, Taco Salad and Summer Squash Frittata.

Dr. Dale V. Atkins, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist with more than twenty-five years of experience, joins Daelemans to assist you with the psychological issues of eating. Guests like Carol, a new mom struggling with her weight all her life, who found the courage to change her eating and exercise habits; five members of the Metro Detroit Cycling Team, who share how cycling has changed their lives; and Marcy, a busy PR executive, who turns to Chef Kathleen for tips on preparing quick, home-cooked meals.
