Summary
A nutritionist theorizes that eating fat-free foods is unhealthy and may cause weight gain. Her studies suggest that dieters must eat twice as many fat-free foods to feel satisfied, while others allow themselves to eat abundant amounts of fat-free foods regardless of calorie content. Focusing on the fruit-and-vegetable-rich Mediterranean diet, she advises readers to consume moderate amounts of heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acids found in fish oil, olive oil, walnuts, and avocados. In addition to promoting hormone and nerve cell growth, polyunsaturates and omega-3 fatty acids may prevent certain cancers and reduce the risk of heart attack.

Publisher's Notes
Low-fat diets are unsatisfying, nutritionally deficient, and just don't taste very good. They may even be dangerous. Extensive research shows that high triglyceride levels--elevated by very low fat diets--are associated with the same health risks, such as heart disease, that often prompt people to start low fat diets in the first place. Low Fat Lies not only exposes the low fat scam, it offers an alternative: A delicious, satisfying and healthy way of eating and living.
