Stanford Life Plan for a Healthy Heart: The 25 Gram Plan Plus over 200 Low-Fat Recipes from the World-Renowned Stanford University Medical Center

Targeting a wide audience, this comprehensive guide offers strategies for defense against heart disease, which, the authors say, kills almost 500,000 Americans every year. The volume's four-part approach includes a primer on heart disease, a nutritional guide, a meal-planning and shopping guide for a healthier lifestyle, which suggests Fat Tracking methods for help with processed foods and restaurant eating, and a cookbook. While the impact of such factors as heredity and habits such as exercise on cardiac disease is acknowledged, the focus here is on diet, which, in the Stanford 25 Gram Plan, limits saturated fat intake to 25 grams a day.
