The medically proven diet that restores your body's essential nutritional balance
"Good fats"-essential fatty acids-influence every aspect of our being, from the beating of our hearts to our ability to learn to remember. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-6 and omega-3. The problem with our modern diet is that it contains far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. This hidden imbalance makes us more vulnerable to heart disease, cancer, obesity, autoimmmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression.
The Omega Diet is a natural, time-tested diet that balances the essential fatty acids in your diet. It is packed with delicious food that contain the "good" fats, including real salad dressing, cheese, eggs, fish-even the occasional chocolate dessert-and an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

a concise guide to the foods you need to restore your body's nutritional balance
a diet plan that lets you eat fat as you lose fat
