User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars A great resource
I bought this book the day I found out my cholesterol was 350 and all my doctor would say was “It’s a little bit higher than I’d like.”
I followed the diet recommendations in it religiously to start with, and began exercising for the first time in a long time, building up to 4 to 5 hours aerobic exercise a week. When I had my cholesterol tested again after 5 months, it was down to 240! (And I had lost almost 20 pounds in weight and was at a healthy BMI!)
20 years later, although my cholesterol levels have crept back up because I’m not as dedicated to the diet and exercise as I was, I still enjoy recipes from this book - peppery chicken and deep dish pear pie are two family favorites.
4 Stars Has Some Useful Information
“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.
5 Stars Eater’s Choice: A Food Lover’s Guide to Lower Cholesterol

5 Stars Great Book!
This book is a really good guide to lower cholestoorel w/ great recipes!
5 Stars Excellent Book
I don’t agree with the first person who reviewed this book. I found the information on cholesterol to be very helpful and most of recipes are very good. The book was recommended to me by a friend who said she makes some of the dishes when she has company and always receives compliments.
I bought a used copy of this book a couple years ago but noticed an updated version at the library. The new version has twice the recipes of the book I have so I just ordered a new one. Another plus — my cholesterol dropped 16 points within a short period of time and I attribute it to the Goors’ recipes.
