A healthy combination

Walter Willet is the head of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard and author of 'Eat, Drink , and Be Healthy'. He opens the book with a personal preface explaining his family connection with good food, and farming.

His collaborator Molly Katzen...

Truly a Lifelong Eating Program for Health and Well-Being

Willett's first book was excellent, so I was so excited when he came out with a book geared to those of us who have weight to lose. The advice is sound and healthy, and does not cut anything out.

She actually explained this in some detail in the interview - that many...

This book will outlive all the other "diet books"

Great basic information about healthy eating with truly readable "Science Bites" that should cut through the hype and assumptions and misinformation once and for all. I especially appreciate the friendly voice (Katzen, always accessible) and the flexibility in the eating plans. There isn't just one plan here. There aren't just two plans, either. There are, like, 4 or 5 of them, ranging from cooking a lot of your food from...
