From the Foreword: "The word 'diet' is derived from the Greek word for 'manner of living'. But in popular usage, diet has come to mean lists of foods to eat and not to eat. It also implies a temporary shift in eating habits-a person 'goes on' a diet and, almost invariable, 'goes off' it too. Often that diet will have come from one of the miracle-diet books.
In A DIET FOR LIVING, Jean Mayer doesn't simply offer the reader food lists and temporary expedients. Here in the process of answering hundreds of commonly asked questions about nutrition, Mayer provides a down-to-earth understanding of food and health and related subjects. This book can truly help people to change their nutritional 'manner of living'-for the better, and permanently."
