Bill Phillips promotes the idea that eating should be a pleasure--a good thing one can turn to in a confusing world. At the same time, he believes people should be healthy, energetic, and happy with their bodies. In EATING FOR LIFE, he outlines his plan for achieving these goals. Starting with the story of his own weight loss, he debunks not only the low-carb diets but dieting in general, and, in frank language tinged with humor, explains simply and clearly his own alternative eating plan, which involves six small meals a day.
