Este libro abarca nada más y nada menos, que la loable tarea de acercarnos al “Arte fundamental de la Vida”, es decir, el “arte de la alimentación”. Este arte a lo largo de la historia, ha tenido muchas interpretaciones ya que ha sido, es y seguirá siendo esencial para la identidad, la biología y la cultura humana. De hecho, hemos creído durante mucho tiempo que nosotros cocinamos los alimentos, pero hoy estamos vislumbrando que en realidad, ellos nos han cocinado a nosotros. Es curioso pensar que vivimos en una época en que los cocineros profesionales se han vuelto casi tan famosos como estrellas de cine, sin embargo, la arquitectura moderna, delimita cada vez, el espacio de la cocina a simples cubículos que han perdido totalmente su identidad, transformándose en parte del living con una simple barra que los separa. O que pasamos muchas horas viendo programas de cocina pero luego terminamos llamando al delivery. El tiempo que empleamos en cocinar se redujo a casi nada, sin embargo, pensamos en comida, igual que desde aquellos tiempos en que vivíamos en las cavernas. Paradojas culinarias de la vida moderna que este libro nos invita a re-pensar. A lo largo de las siguientes páginas, tendremos la oportunidad de replantearnos qué significa realmente el “arte culinario”. El libro que el lector tiene entre sus manos, invita a reciclar, reconectar, revalorar y readaptar el concepto de lo que creemos implica este arte tan vapuleado, que es el de elegir qué nos llevamos a la boca, lo cual más tarde o más temprano, va a ser parte constitutiva propia ya que como se ha dicho muchas veces, literalmente: “somos lo que comemos”.

“[The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan] could help save your life. It did for me.” - Larry King The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan is an amazingly simple and medically sound program that will help you lose weight and keep it off, dramatically improve your overall health and fortify your body against diseases - with delicious and satisfying foods you can have anytime, anywhere. Medical research proves that there's only one way to safely and permanently lose weight: eat less fat and more fiber. Best-selling authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D. and Barry Fox, Ph.D. show you how this simple, practical, life-changing program of delicious low-fat, fiber-rich foods not only aids in weight loss, but also lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and many forms of cancer.The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan gives you all the tools you'll need to get trim and stay that way, including a special pocket-sized gram counter that allows you to easily keep track of the number of fat and fiber grams you consume everyday, and a convenient fold-out food list with examples of everyday foods' fat and fiber content.Dr. Mirkin Reads. The average American eats the fat equivalent of a cup of butter each day, and it's easy to convert this dietary fat to body fat (the saying "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips" isn't so farfetched after all). This is probably why one in three adults in this country is obese. But authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D., and Barry Fox, Ph.D. (coauthor of the bestselling Arthritis Cure) say that focusing on cutting the fat out of your diet is not the right way to lose weight, as a drastically low-fat diet almost always leads to late-day bingeing. By increasing dietary fiber to 30 grams a day (with beans, whole grains, and vegetables), and by moderately cutting fat intake to 20 grams, they say that permanent weight loss can be achieved-- without painful hunger pangs, headaches, or petulant fits of rage that threaten your long-term relationships. This is the very diet that TV talk...

Eat pizza and lose weight! Learn how an Italian chef dropped nearly 100 pounds while eating the food he could not live without. Why do most diets fail? Why do so many people who initially lose weight quickly pack it all back on—and then some? It’s simple, really. Dieting, a.k.a. denying yourself certain favorite foods, is just too hard for anyone to do for any length of time.  And how long could you deny yourself pizza? But what if you didn’t have to say “no”? Chef Pasquale Cozzolino of Naples, Italy, did just that and lost nearly 100 pounds. When his doctor warned him to lose weight or risk early death, Chef Cozzolino knew he had to find a diet plan he could stick with, one that would allow him to eat the food he grew up on and loved in his native country—pizza! So, he consulted nutritionists, immersed himself in the science of weight loss, and developed the Pizza Diet: Eat a hearty breakfast every morning, enjoy a 12-inch Neapolitan pizza for lunch every day, and finish off with a light yet satisfying meal of fresh vegetables and lean protein for dinner. The results? You will quickly reduce your daily calories without ever feeling deprived. Chef Cozzolino reveals his secret recipe for a healthier dough that won’t boost blood sugar or trigger cravings. The Chef also shares his recipes for pizza margherita with fresh mozzarella and basil, grilled vegetable pizza, even pizza with sausage or prosciutto de parma.  With a simple eating plan that focuses on fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains—plus delicious recipes for world class pizza—The Pizza Diet is the ideal plan for any food lover who wants to lose weight . . . and keep it off for good.
