Most of us know what we need to do to be healthy. It’s the actual doing it that’s the problem. But now, thanks to Cooking Light, readers can easily start doing what they already know they should with the guidance of Cooking Light The Food Lover’s Healthy Habits Cookbook-- a combo of Cooking Light magazine’s 12 Healthy Habits Program, and 200 practical, everyday recipes that make putting the habits into practice easy.

The Cooking Light 12 Healthy Habits is Cooking Light magazine’s healthy lifestyle program and philosophy--tested and proven by Cooking Light staff and readers. The program is simple: Readers incorporate small lifestyle changes to their daily routine (one habit/one month at a time) and over a year they see big results. From the 12 habits--including adding more fruits and vegetables and going meatless more often--to the 365 recipes that support these habits, this guide book gives healthy life wannabes all the tools they need to easily achieve a healthy lifestyle. The choice is theirs. They can choose to incorporate one of the habits, a few, or all 12. Even if it’s just incorporating one, it still puts them one step closer to better health.

Cooking Light The Food Lover’s Healthy Habits Cookbook is brought to life by author Janet Helm, R.D., M.S., who has compiled personal stories from her own experiences and those of others, as well as personal challenges and experiences of Cooking Light readers and staff participating in the Cooking Light 12 Healthy Habits program, and also coaching advice and tips from nutrition and fitness experts.
