If you werent around for the early days of Weight Watchers, you missed out on some of its early recipes that pretended bean sprouts were pasta, and cottage cheese on toast was a cheese Danish. (We happen to have the very first Weight Watchers cookbook in our collection.)

Thankfully, times have changed for the global weight-loss program over the past 50 years, and Weight Watchers is celebrating its half century with the Weight Watchers 50th Anniverary Cookbook Griffin, $29.99), which was released today.

The 355-page hardcover book features more than 280 recipes for every meal and occasion, updating old favorites, from Buffalo Wings and Oven-Fried Fish and Chips to Baked Alaska and Red Velvet cake.

Aside from the bean sprout and cottage cheese creations of yore, the book also explains how many foods were once labeled legal and illegal. Some of the old bad guys avocado, bacon, rice, and even corn are now a regular part of the plan and celebrated in the cookbook with dishes such as:

  • Avocado: Cobb Salad With Green Goddess Dressing (5 PointsPlus
  • Bacon: Bacon and Broccoli Egg Cups (5 PointsPlus)
  • Rice: Baked Rice Pudding With Currents (5 PointsPlus)
  • Corn: Creamy Polenta With Mushroom Ragu (6 PointsPlus)

Oh, how times have changed from Asparagus Aspic.

Even if youre not following the Weight Watchers plan, the book offers up healthier versions of favorites like Chicken Pot Pie, Spaghetti Carbonara, and Chocolate Fondue with serving suggestions and full nutritional information as well as PointsPlus listings.

Most recipes are quick and easy one-page listings, and many of the dishes are illustrated with full-page color photos. A fat reducing review can help you construct a clear outline of what you need to focus on to accomplish your fat burning goal if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more improve phase of their weight loss program. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as methods for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss courses have misled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by producing a person's body to burn more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. And in addition to a regular index, you can choose dishes by the PointsPlus level.

And yes, even that pioneering "cheese Danish" recipe has been updated in the new book, with low-fat ricotta and cinnamon-raisin bread.
