Statin Drugs: Side Effects and the Misguided War on CholesterolThis book on Statin Drugs led me to Eat Fat, Lose Fat and its incredible show of politics in our eating habits. It goes to show if we want to eat healthy we must forget the government recommendations and look to the scientific studies for healthy eating.
Rating  - Excellent information, unpractical diet
I am an average long term "dieter". I stick with low-carb, mostly Atkins. I loved the research and information about the types of fats and their affects on us found in this book. Although it was a little dry and technical in parts, it was very thorough and informative. BUT as to the diet, it is totally impractical for my situation. Most of the foods need to be purchased from health food stores. Most of the foods are NOT what my palate is used to. NOT that I am not willing to change the way I eat, but I couldn't figure out a way to incorporate this way of eating into my life. For example it was not about eating coconut milk, but rather a specific KIND of coconut milk processed in a specific manner. Many of the recommended products were that way. What I was hoping was to just be able to add TO my low carb diet, but this was a whole different approach. I did pick up some practical things though -- like adding cod liver oil to my diet and eating "clean" natural unprocessed foods. So, to summarize -- great information, not so practical a way of eating.
Rating - Lifestyle change, not a fad diet
This is an educational book, not your typical diet book. I learned all about the different kinds of fat and why my body needs some and doesn't need others and what foods have the best (or worst) sources. The book is not just about fat either. It is about nutrition; eating nutrient dense foods (getting the most bang out of what you eat). So you can nourish your body while shedding pounds. And if you don't need to lose weight (maybe you need to gain a few) or if you just need to get healthy, this book is also for you as it is loaded with advice and menus and recipes for foods that will nourish and strengthen your body. The down side is that the foods you learn to prepare are not your normal fare. You really have to want to be healthy in order to learn how to eat and cook healthy. If you are not motivated, you will quit. It is not easy to learn how to eat and cook in a whole new way, BUT IT IS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating  - waste of money
I bought this book on a recommendation from a dietian. It was full of scientific information that was too much to take in. And it sounded like it was bad fad diet. I will be donating it to a local second hand store.
