Bob Greene knows that you're not going to stick to an eating plan if you're bored or feeling deprived, so he's developed a program based on balance, moderation, flexibility and variety. After you make the commitment to Get with the Program!, you'll discover the keys to boosting your metabolism.

You'll take the four steps to healthy eating, making one change at a time: eating a nutritious breakfast, setting an eating cut-off time, redistributing your calories, and making healthful food choices.

Bob Greene shows you how to determine the perfect way to eat for your unique needs, how to stock a healthy kitchen, how to dine out enjoyably, and how to "cheat" without feeling guilty.

Finally, there are 85 easy-to-prepare recipes that are as full of flavor as they are good for you. For example, try a Peaches and "Cream" Fresh Fruit Smoothie or how about some Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes for breakfast? Salmon Burgers or Tomatoes Stuffed with Couscous, Cucumber and Mint make a satisfying lunch, and how about Spinach Penne with Spicy Roasted Pepper Sauce or Baked Lemon Herb Halibut for dinner?

Satisfying soups, tasty side dishes (including luscious Mashed Potatoes), and tempting desserts, like airy Pavlova with Raspberry Sauce or Chocolate Almond Angel Food Cake, make healthful eating a pleasure.

Bob Greene on Oprah's training: "Every day for three weeks, we hiked, lifted weights and did some cardiovascular exercise in the gym.

Oprah has said that it was during this time that she learned why it had been so easy for her to regain the weight after fasting. In fact, she realized she had been doomed to put the pounds back on as soon as she started eating again.

It was because, as I explained, she wasn’t exercising much and, therefore, her metabolism was very low. I also told Oprah that she really could lose weight and keep it off—if she did it right.

That gave her the confidence to let me show her how to live in an entirely new way. At the end of the three weeks, she’d lost 12 pounds and we had the basis of a great working relationship, not to mention a wonderful friendship."
