The first time I was called fat I was 14. Thirty years later I have invested a lot of effort
into trying to decide whether the next popular diet is balanced and nutritious, wondering
what the negative effects are, and I'm always on the lookout for another good vegetarian
bean and rice recipe.
At first I was really disappointed in The Culprit and the Cure. There is nothing
new in it. We eat poorly, we don't exercise, we are unhealthy; eat better, get moving
and we will feel better. I finally figured out that this is the whole point; The Culprit
and the Cure is not meant to bring forth a great new theory or diet miracle. It is
a consolidation and summary of research that has been performed in a quest to improve
your health and your life.
The language is simple and direct: "Dairy products that are low in fat should be favored
over those that are high in fat." If you want to know why in greater, scientific depth
you can visit the Journal of American Diet Associates, Feb 2004 (Reference 27 of chapter 8).
This book is a perfect resource for the fad dieter who hasn't spent a lot of time learning
about what is healthy and who wants to educate themselves in how to break the cycle of
yo-yo dieting, or somebody who just wants to feel better and improve their lifestyle.
