Perrine (Wheat Belly), executive director of AARP the Magazine, and nutritionist Skolnik (Grill Yourself Skinny) lay out an easy-to-follow weight loss program for those older than 50. The plan aims “to prevent age-related muscle loss, reverse age-related weight gain, and most important, preserve our long-term health” and does so via a fairly simple protocol that hinges on eating the “right amount of quality protein”: 25–30 grams per meal. The included “Action Step” worksheets outline ways to, among other things, swap out processed foods for whole foods, and add fiber to meals. There are more than 50 recipes, which include Muscled-Up Oats with Blueberries, Almonds, and Hemp Seeds and the “I Ain’t Cookin’ Tonight” Taco Bowl. The book’s strength is its wealth of helpful tools: there’s a guide to making sense of labels, shopping list suggestions, and a seven-day sample menu planner with entrées from such restaurants as Buffalo Wild Wings and Chipotle. Readers looking for new health tricks to replace strategies that no longer work will find this a resource worth returning to. (Mar.)
