Eat More, Weigh Less: Dr Dean Ornish's Life Choice Program for Losing

When Dr Dean Ornish developed a low-fat way of eating as part of his system to treat heart disease, he and his patients discovered that not only did the programme improve their health, it also helped them lose weight. Participants in his research lost an average of 22 pounds, even though they were eating more food than before entering the study. Most diets don't work for long because they are based on deprivation and counting calories. In contrast, Dr Ornish's diet is based on the type of food rather than the amount of food, abundance rather than deprivation. Because the meals are so low in fat, people can eat more frequently, eat a greater quantity of food and still lose weight - simply, safely, easily. In this book, Dr Ornish lays out the rationale for a nutritious and scientifically-proven diet, and includes 200 gourmet recipes - created by chefs, including Hubert Keller, Paul Bertolli, Jeremiah Tower, Bradley Ogden, Joyce Goldstein and Daniel Boulud - for meals that include little or no fat. Unlike other diet plans, which may endanger health and don't address the root causes of being overweight, this one not only takes off the unwanted weight, but also reduces the risk of heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis and other illnesses. Dr Ornish is the author of "Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease" and "Stress, Diet & Your Heart".
