"      this diet to other popular diets.   Overview A 1,500- to 1,600-calorie program based on nutrition guru Walt Willett&amp;#039;s 30 years of research in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. Dieters can expect to lose about one to two pounds a week -- the amount recommended for safe weight loss. Willett&amp;#039;s nine turning points range from lots of produce to staying hydrated. Includes a 21-day meal plan and more than 100 recipes. What you will eat Fresh produce, good fats (like olive oil and avocados), whole grains, healthy protein, a lot of water, and a daily multivitamin. Dieters eat as much as they want from a long list of vegetables called the A-list and avoid trans fats and saturated fat. Carb consumption shifts away from refined (white) grains to whole grains (wheat bread, brown rice) and legumes. Recipes, provided by Mollie Katzen of The Moosewood Cookbook fame, include Whole-Grain French Toast and Broiled Eggplant Parmesan -- but meat recipes are included, too.  Alcohol and Caffeine Both are encouraged in moderation. In fact, Willett claims that for most adults a glass of wine a day (or any unsweetened alcoholic beverage) is beneficial to health. Dining Out Possible but not ideal. Willett provides lists of healthy choices in various restaurants, ranging from the local greasy spoon to the latest ethnic hot spot. Still, he emphasizes that restaurant dining is based on excess. Family Friendly Yes, in terms of nutrition, but your husband may balk at the lack of meat and potatoes, and your kids may turn up their noses at the bevy of veggies. Amount of Cooking A lot. Some ingredients, like quinoa, couscous, and flax, may scare off home chefs who are used to working with more standard fare. You can find a happy medium, though, by selecting less time- and ingredient-intensive recipes. Best for Veggie lovers and people who enjoy cooking -- especially with recipes that call for exotic ingredients like wheat berry and millet. Setbacks to Watch Out for Meal plans and recipes may be intimidating for some. Recipes take more planning, prep time, and organization than many people can muster.
