Citing his own published research findings, Ornish concludes that eating a vegetarian diet with only 10 percent of the total daily calories from fat is the first step to healthier, happier living. The other key elements--moderate exercise, fostering social support, and reconnecting with the self--take more time and care. For these, Ornish offers about 75 pages of encouraging words, again backed by numerous research findings and his personal experiences. About 250 gourmet recipes from two dozen famous chefs help ease the blow to those who view becoming vegetarian as a dramatic lifestyle change. The good news is, entrées like Polenta Alla Veneziana and Tofu Gumbo will surely tickle the taste buds; the bad news is, the sheer number of ingredients and lengthy prep time required for most recipes could send readers running back to their favorite fast-food joints. Plenty of cooking methods, tips, and food descriptions help demystify the recipes; Ornish also provides a comprehensive nutritional analysis of common foods as well as for each dish. But the great strength of Eat More, Weigh Less is in Ornish's opening sections, where he builds a solid case for curbing fat, tossing out the meat and dairy, and fostering mental and emotional happiness. --Liane Thomas Product Description: You really can eat more and weigh less -- if you know what to eat.As this groundbreaking book clearly shows, it's not just how much you eat, it's primarily what you eat. Most diets rely on small portion sizes to reduce calories sufficiently. You feel hungry and deprived. Dr. Ornish's program takes a new approach: abundance rather than deprivation. If you change the type of food, you don't have to be as concerned about the amount of food. You can eat whenever you're hungry , eat more food -- and still lose weight and keep it off. Simply. Safely. Easily. In this book, you'll find 250 gourmet recipes from the country's most celebrated chefs. Unlike high-protein diets that may mortage your well-being, Dr. Ornish's diet and lifestyle program is scientifically proven to help you lose weight and gain health. People not only keep off the weight, they lower their cholestoral and reduce their chances for getting heart disease and such other illnesses as breast, prostate, and colon cancer; diabetes; osteoporosis; and hypertension. Dr. Ornish's program has given millions of people new hope and new choices. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Eat more, Weigh LessWell written easy to understand and it is working for me. A last a diet plan that does not require anything other than making choices. Rating: - A bit drastic? Not really.I'm always surprised to find people suggesting a healthy, plant-based diet is "a bit drastic" -- personally I find bypass surgery or chemotherapy to be a bit drastic. Eating healthy is natural and normal, or should be, it's just that most of us have gotten used to the unhealthy foods that makeup the standard American diet, so it only seems like eating healthy is drastic. You really do retrain your taste buds in a relatively short time. It was so much easier to switch than I ever thought it would ... Read More Rating:  - Sadly DisapointedI was actually VERY excited to see this book at a discount bookstore the other day since I've just started a new diet and I know its a popular book. When I started reading, I enjoyed it and was inspired by his seemingly well done research. I started with the back and the recipes so I could get more healthy dinner ideas. Personally, I liked many of the recipe ideas. I love to cook and personally have no issues finding saffron or other unusual ingredients but I should warn potential buyers ... Read More Rating:  - Fixed my gallbladder dysfunctionI had my gallbladder removed and still had spasms and cramps in my right side after it was removed (bile ducts). Following the Ornish Program (except I cut out dairy altogether) has completely fixed the problem and I no longer have spasms and cramps in my right side. This book, and simply changing my diet, saved me from having to take medication the rest of my life (I was 27 when my gallbladder was removed). The other benefits are that I lost weight (BMI = 19) and my skin looks absolutely amazing! Rating:  - Caution -- Too Little Fat Causes GallstonesI thought I'd done sufficient research when I went on this diet. In fact, Ornish's theories have been proven wrong. When you don't eat a moderate amount of healthy fats (olive oil, EFA's, etc.), the bile produced by your liver sits in your gall bladder instead of being used to digest fats. It becomes increasingly concentrated, until the cholesterol in the bile forms into...gallstones. This = extremely painful attacks and either surgery or very intense cleansing diets. Ornish's diet does NOT include ... Read More
