Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy

by Walter C. Willett

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This updated edition of the national bestseller debunks dietary myths and presents Dr. Willett's New Healthy Eating Pyramid, a healthier guide to nutrition than the recently revised USDA pyramid.

Inside you'll discover:

  • eye-opening new research on the healthiest carbohydrates, fats, and proteins

  • why weight control is still the single most important factor

  • menu plans and brand-new recipes that make it even easier to reinvent your diet

Review:

"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 for yourself; it will be well worth your time."

-- Timothy Johnson, M.D., M.P.H., medical editor, ABC News

Review:

"Finally, a commonsense, science-based book on nutrition that you can trust!"

-- Susan Love, author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book and Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book

Synopsis:

In this national bestseller based on Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health research, Dr. Willett explains why the USDA guidelines--the famous food pyramid--are not only wrong but also dangerous.
