There’s an ever-growing body of proof supporting the relatively simple principles that are behind healthy eating-yet the general public seems to be even more confused than ever before. Never-ending promotions of crash diets get in the way of people producing healthy choices.

In this revised and updated release of Eat, Drink, and become Healthy, Dr. Willett uses eye-opening study to describe the relative need for various food groups and supplements aswell as choosing foods with the very best types of sugars, fats, and proteins. He reveals why managing weight-after not smoking-is the one most important factor for a long, healthy lifestyle, why consuming some types of excess fat is beneficial and necessary, choosing wisely between different carbohydrates, how to pick the right protein packages, and what fruits and vegetables-not juices!-fight disease.

He also translates this necessary information into simple menu plans and tasty meals, providing a significant resource for households everywhere.
