The bestselling guide to healthy eating, debunking dietary myths, and proposing the radical benefits of low-carbohydrate diet, Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy is “filled with advice backed up by documented research” (Tara Parker-Pope, The Wall Street Journal).
Dr. Walter Willett’s research is rooted in studies that tracked the health of dieters over twenty years, and in this groundbreaking book, he critiques the carbohydrate-laden diet proposed by the USDA.
Exposing the problems of popular diets such as the Zone, South Beach, and Atkins, Dr. Willett offers eye-opening research on the optimum ratio of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and the relative importance of various food groups and supplements. 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.

A great recap on the information I already knew. A bit more academic and overwhelming than other health books I have read recently but I liked the practical application sections at the end of each chapter.

Highly informative and easy to read. Could use an editor at times (occasionally there are duplicative sections), but overall this is a really helpful book for de-mystifying the basics of nutrition science.

Best nutrition book out there. It's not flashy, controversial, or even particularly entertaining, but it has the distinction of being basically the only nutrition book that's actually scientifically accurate.

Seems to over-demonize saturate fat, and a lot of the conclusions lean on overly biased studies, but the specific recommendations still ring true.

I really enjoyed reading this book and felt that I learned a lot. I wish it had more recipes.
