Eat Drink and Be Healthy - The...

Patrick J. Skerrett, Walter C....

“Uniquely knowledgeable . . . and deeply concerned for the well-being of people and planet alike, there simply is no better guide to dietary health—anywhere.” —David L. Katz, MD, MPH Director, Yale University Prevention Research Center

In this revised and updated edition of the bestselling Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy, Dr. Walter Willett, chair of the renowned Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, draws on cutting-edge research to explain what the USDA guidelines have gotten wrong—and how you can eat right.

Dr. Willett offers eye-opening new research on choosing foods with the best types of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and the relative importance of various food groups and supplements. He clearly explains why controlling weight, after not smoking, is the single most important factor for a long, healthy life; why eating some types of fat is beneficial for good health; how to choose wisely between different types of carbohydrates; how to pick the right protein “packages”; and what fruits and vegetables—not juices!—fight disease. Dr. Willett also translates this essential information into simple, easy-to-follow menu plans and tasty recipes. This new edition of Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy is an important resource for every family.

“This must-read elegantly bridges nutrition and culinary strategies in ways that honor the cause of deliciousness and the pleasures of sharing food with family and friends.” —Greg Drescher Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, The Culinary Institute of America
