It tells you why eating a moderate amount of good fat is better for your metabolism than eating a low-fat diet. Some good fats are essential nutrients that influence every aspect of your being, from the beating of your heart to your ability to learn and remember. A renown expert on nutrition, Dr. Artemis Simopoulos tells you exactly which fats and other nutrients you need to experience optimal health. Amazon.com Review: Is it really possible that eating more fat is the key to better health? It depends on the fat, according to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos. The Omega Plan shows, in great detail, the difference between omega-3 fats, those found in fish and some green vegetables, and omega-6 fats, which are found in most meats and vegetable oils. The former have heart-protective and cancer-preventive properties; the latter, she writes, cause obesity, heart disease, cancer, depression, and a host of other ills. Omega-3 fats are at the heart of her plan, along with ample servings of fruits and vegetables. Unlike diets based on deprivation, Simopoulos offers some fairly lush food choices, including an ounce of cheese every day. Best of all, The Omega Plan is bursting with so much useful information about food shopping and preparation that you'll be able to use its advice the second you put the book down. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great book for great nutritionIf you would like help to improve the way you eat, you should read this book and keep it as a reference. This book stays in my waiting room and is in the waiting room of a number of cardiologists. Rating: - Fascinating, practical informationI found this book to be a fascinating, but very practical study of nutrition. It was presented in a way that is easily understood. It lays out a plan that the average person can apply to their daily life to change over to a healthy life style. I would say that reading this book was a life-changing event for me----I have also shared this book with my family and loved ones. Rating:  - Good explaination of Crete dietI looked into buying some books to discuss the Mediterranean/Crete/Omega diet. I did like this book the best compared to the others I had bought (Mediterranean Prescription, and The Anti-inflammation Diet and Recipe Book). This gave a worded description of how the author ate growing up and gave a concise way to think about what you are eating - think fresh and simple. Like most "diet" books there are sections on why this works scientifically and some meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ...

Other than that I wouldn't recommend to purchase it. I have Lupus and was looking for a cleaner, something different daily eat book. Rating: - Really?I was surprised that this book was copyrighted in 1998. It seems that we have just now caught up with what she knew back then about essential fatty acids. That part of the book is very good and I am glad that we have finally caught up with her on this. I haven't tried any of her recipes but I it seems that many of the recipes do not follow her traditional Greek way of cooking. I mean canola oil, for instance, certainly is not a part of traditional cooking anywhere. It is a relatively modern ... Read More
