A preventative measure as well as a remedy for "dis-ease," this handbook outlines a nondeprivation eating plan for good health based on great-tasting, easy-to-digest foods. Beginning with an analysis of modern-day eating habits, the plan examines those food combinations, ingredients, and chemicals found in the standard American fare-white flour, sugar, and preservatives among them-which are typically at the root of indigestion and weight gain.Having exposed the culprits, the step-by-step guide identifies alternatives from each food category-including lots of fruits, veggies, and good fats-and offers time-saving recipes, streamlined preparation steps, and hints on what amount of food should be consumed and in what combinations in order to achieve and maintain good digestion.

The Diet Code: Eat Bread, Drink Wine, Lose Weight [Paperback] Review

The Diet Code: Eat Bread, Drink Wine, Lose Weight [Paperback]One does not have to be a Da Vinci Code groupie or a math-geek to understand "The Diet Code."Lanzalotta's book details the wellness-plan he created, based on The "Golden Ratio"-a mathematical formula used by Renaissance masters.This formula defines patterns and sequences found in nature-including human structure.Whether or not to believe that Phi governs the perfect dietary design for humans is academic.The book is an enjoyable read.Though his food-groupings need tweaking--olive oil, for example, listed as a fatty protein, contains just traces of protein-Lanzalotta's plan is nutritious and doable.
Here's what I like about this book:
He restores the pleasure of food, art of cooking, and joy of eating to the science of nutrition.This is not a deprivation diet. Foods generally considered taboo (i.e.: chocolate, wine, full-fat cheese) are incorporated.Lanzalotta's plan is neither high- nor low-carb, neither high- nor low-fat. The macronutrient percentages (including protein) are within the recommended ranges.Who can argue with a regime promoting the fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seafood, and the moderate use of health-enhancing fats?Foods suggested are affordable and generally available. Economy is realized in time too-food prep is a snap.The recipes are tasty.The emphasis on freshness and presentation creates the illusion of gourmet without all the fuss.His recipes are readily adaptable.I have substituted bucatini and shrimp for fettucine and salmon in his Salmon Puttanesca.Lanzalotta's ethnic Italian cuisine is fun to experiment with.I've enjoyed flavor combinations new to me: lemon dressing seasoned with anise seed and mint; lamb stew with cloves, rosemary, and prunes.Lanzalotta's intuitive pairing of foodstuffs from Old World cuisine--"companatico" is truly remarkable."Peasant food"-is good food!

Ratio of carbs, protein, and fat to boost metabolism and
