"This pioneering book by Dr. John A. McDougall, founder of the nationally renowned McDougall Program, addresses ways to combat the number one killer of Americans today - heart disease. At St. Helena Hospital in the Napa Valley of California, Dr. McDougall teaches cardiac patients a revolutionary new way of living that frees them from fear of future heart attacks and allows them to lead healthy lives. Now he offers readers the same breakthrough advice that thousands of people have learned through his clinical practice." "Combining step-by-step diet, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations, it is designed to bring about dramatic health improvements in less than two weeks. A lifesaver for patients who have already suffered a heart attack or been diagnosed with heart disease, it is equally valuable as an authoritative guide to prevention."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

By fueling your body primarily with carbohydrates rather than proteins and fats, you'll feel satisfied, boost energy, and look and feel better.--From publisher description.
