Eat, Drink and be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating

by P. J. Skerrett (Author), Walter C. Willett (Author)

Synopsis

Exposing the problems of popular diets such as the Zone and the Atkins diet, Dr. Willett offers eye-opening new research on the optimum ratio of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and the relative importance of various food groups and supplements. Readers will learn why weight control is the single most important nutritional factor and what the three other most critical factors of healthy eating are. They will find out how to choose wisely between different types of fats, which fruits and vegetables provide the best health insurance, and the proportions of each to integrate into their daily diet. And all this new, exciting nutritional information is translated for the reader into simple menu plans, and tasty recipes that make utilising the New Food Pyramid easy. Completely unique and authoritative EAT, DRINK, AND BE HEALTHY will teach everyone an entirely new way to eat.

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy is the best book on nutrition for the general public I have read to date. Dr. Willett is not afraid...to criticize some sacred cows -- including the USDA's food pyramid. I urge you to buy this book and read it all for yourself; it will be well worth your time.
