New Book Pairs Willett with Bestselling Cookbook Author Katzen

Eat, Drink, & Weight Less
Walter Willett, chair of the HSPH Department of Nutrition and author of the hugely successful Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy, has penned a new book with bestselling cookbook author and HSPH Nutrition Round Table member Mollie Katzen.

Eat, Drink, and Weigh Less: A Flexible and Delicious Way to Shrink Your Waist Without Going Hungry (Hyperion) shows readers how to create diet plans based on good nutrition advice.

The book features a new way to chart readers' progress called the Body Score. As the Body Score increases, weight loss increases. A quiz at the beginning of the book helps readers determine their baseline score; the chapters that follow explain dietary and behavioral steps readers can take to improve their numbers.
