Provides more than three hundred heart-smart recipes that range from favorite American classics to vegetarian and ethnic dishes, and incorporates the latest information on heart disease and diet. More than ten years ago, a team of heart specialists and dietitians at Baylor College of Medicine and The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, created the Living Heart Diet for their patients. Their best-selling book explained the relationship between nutrition and heart disease and helped change America's eating habits. Updated and completely revised, The New Living Heart Diet incorporates the latest information on how to minimize your risk factors for coronary heart disease and reflects changes in our tastes and eating habits. Drawing on recent research in health and nutrition, the New Living Heart Diet helps you make food and lifestyle choices to control blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood pressure, weight, and diabetes. It clarifies information about vitamins and minerals, interprets the new nutrition labels, and explains how to select among the array of foods in supermarkets. Also included is a special chapter on vegetarian eating. More than 300 new or revised recipes—along with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and holiday menus—are provided to make healthy cooking and eating convenient. The recipes and menus have easy-to-understand nutrient analyses and feature traditional American as well as international dishes. From the detailed guides for selecting food when eating out to the comprehensive tables describing the nutrient content of common foods, the New Living Heart Diet makes it easy for readers to enjoy delicious, healthy eating every day. “...includes the latest information on how to minimize risk factors for coronary heart diseases, clarifies infor- mation about vitamins and minerals, interprets the new nutrition labels, &amp; explains how to select proper food.”

Since its approval by the FDA, Xenical has become the fastest-selling diet medication on the market today -- and for good reason. Years of clinical testing have demonstrated that it is effective. People dieting with Xenical lost an average of 50 percent more weight than those dieting without it. And because Xenical works only in the intestines to block fat absorption by the body, it is unlikely to cause the side effects in other parts of the body that have been reported for some appetite-suppressing drugs that have been withdrawn from the market. But to be most effective, Xenical should be part of a diet-and-exercise program. John Foreyt, one of the principal researchers into Xenical, explains in this book how best to use this medication to lose weight permanently. He reviews the basic facts about Xenical, such as how it works, who should take it, what its health benefits are, and who is not a good candidate for taking it. Then he discusses how the drug affects caloric intake, which foods to eat while on Xenical, and which to avoid. He suggests four weeks of sample menus, including calorie and fat breakdowns, that put it all together for anyone using Xenical. The book also includes a model fat-burning exercise program to enhance Xenical's effectiveness. And it explains how to make the decision -- in consultation with your doctor -- about whether to continue Xenical once you have reached your goal weight. Dr. Foreyt also offers suggestions for how to avoid gaining back the lost weight and how to make the weight loss permanent. The Xenical Advantage is a comprehensive guide to using this breakthrough weight-loss medication safely and effectively. It is filled with authoritative and practical information that will enhance the usefulness of Xenical for anyone taking or contemplating taking it.
