Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Completely revised since its bestselling original 1984 edition, this cookbook from a team of heart specialists at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas includes new information about risk factors for coronary heart disease and the most recent dietary recommendations for preventing it. The first half relates such health considerations as cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure to diet; menus and 300-plus recipes with complete nutritional analyses constitute the second half. The dense format and even-tone prose detract from the book's value and diminish the potential impact of fresh data, e.g., a diet that is low in fat (30% or less of the total daily calorie intake), saturated fat and cholesterol but that contains lean beef lowers blood cholesterol as effectively as a diet free of red meat. This workmanlike approach will help readers make changes for a more healthful diet, but in recent years, others have come up with more appetizing, interesting low-fat fare.

Huge Help in Recovery,
By
This review is from: New Living Heart Diet (Paperback)
I purchased this book at the suggestion of a friend while I was recovering from Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery..(a triple bypass). I was in need of information that would help me recover and take me forward to avoid needing surgery in the future, to bring me back to a state of good health and to find ways to do it with little disruption. I had a few other books given to me, or suggested. I have found that The New Living Heart Diet is an amazingly complete "how to" manual for someone with heart disease or is trying to prevent it. I would reccommend it to a friend.

This review is from: New Living Heart Diet (Paperback)
Michael E Debakey lived to be almost a hundred years old and innovated a lot of modern heart health technology. His approach to improving life went beyond his work into his relationships and philosophy.
Its good to sift through a great deal of authors to find the ones that offer the most for the investment of my attention. A little research into the author can save you a lot of time, energy, money and peace of mind.

This review is from: New Living Heart Diet (Paperback)
i learned things i didn't know, even after trying to educate myself more about cholesterol for the past 5 years. i was already near my desired weight, but by applying the advice and tracking my daily consumption for a few months, my overall count dropped 20 points (258 to 238) and my LDL dropped 10. my doctor and i agreed to keep at it for another 4 months and see if trend continues.
now my wife and kids are picking recipes from the back for us to try at home, so i think there's a good chance i'll see more improvement.
