Summer is in full swing and it's likely impacting your penchant for gracious living and fine food. There's something decadent about a bright, sunny summer's day, something celebratory that lures you into a holiday mindset and tempts you to ditch your diet and embrace a newfound, seasonal joie de vivre. If only there were a decadent way to diet.

Well, that's what is promised in Dr. Will Clower's book The French Don't Diet Plan: How to eat rich foods for effortless weight loss - and never diet again!

Wow. He's certainly got my attention with that title: Don't diet. Effortless. Rich foods. Weight loss. Never diet again. Exclamation point. Anyway, in his book, Dr. Clower shares 10 simple steps that he claims will help you stay thin for life. More importantly, he claims butter, cheese, bread and chocolate are "health foods" that keep hunger at bay. The book also includes dozens of recipes for too-good-to-be-true health foods like creamy alfredo sauce and hot artichoke-cheese dip.
