The book shows a three-pringed approach based on modified diet and special foods and vitamins that actually reduce cholesterol. It works by (1) reducing the amount of fat and cholesterol consumed; (2) increasing the quantity of cholesterol eliminated by the body; and (3) limiting the amount of cholesterol produced by the body. It offers a number of practical suggestions for living and enjoying liefe, whether dining out or preparing food at home.

Robert Kowalski's personal story is legendary. By the age of forty-one, he had suffered a heart attack and had undergone two coronary bypass surgeries. A traditional dietary approach to lowering his cholesterol failed dismally, and faced with the unpleasant alternative of a lifetime on medication, he created a program that proved astonishingly effective for him -- and legions of others worldwide who use it.
