Description: Written by a retired surgeon, this book balances a lively yet serious discussion of the science behind calories and fats with an engaging presentation of the how-to and benefits of balancing meals. Using tables, charts, diagrams, and reader-friendly text, the author provides helpful tips on counting calories understanding the food pyramid, and preventing obesity. The discussion on fats includes an examination of the current debate among scientists about the amount of saturated fats that should be included in a healthful diet.
