In these pages, nutrition expert Smith reveals: - Why "health" foods aren't always healthy - How to find tasty snack substitutes in a no-grain diet - How eating "lite" can actually lead to weight gain - How cutting back on grains can lower your risk for diseaseSmith provides original menu plans and eating-out suggestions, so, with minimum effort and hassle, you too can go against the grain!
