Description: The Stanford Life Plan can help you not only prevent heart disease, but also reverse it. Developed by the world-renowned team of heart specialists at Stanford University and an accomplished chef, it's a comprehensive guide to good health for everyone.

First comes the revolutionary Stanford 25 Gram Plan. There's no weighing or complex calculations - just a clear guideline for controlling the most harmful element in your diet, saturated fat. But that's only the beginning of what this remarkable book offers. Over 200 delectable, low-fat recipes provide you with delicious ideas for family dinners as well as fine entertaining. A more beneficial way of life can be easy whatever your age (and no matter how healthy you think you already are), as you'll discover with such features as a self-assessment risk questionnaire, a complete food-shopping and restaurant fat-tracking guide, food and lifestyle quizzes, and lots of down-to-earth information from the doctors and dietitians at Stanford.

Covering such essentials as the link between diet, lifestyle, and good health; the differences in heart disease as it affects men and women; dietary recommendations for children; as well as a strategy for reversing heart disease, even if you have had coronary bypass surgery, this comprehensive volume is full of savvy advice.
