Heart disease kills more people than any other medical condition. No one is more aware of this than top cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall, who has performed over 40,000 heart procedures during his career. Dr. Crandall is living proof of his program's success. At the age of 48, and with no major risk factors, he found himself in the ER with a "widow-maker" blockage of his main coronary artery. After emergency heart surgery, he recovered from heart disease using the same course of treatment and diet he recommends to his thousands of patients — and details for your benefit. His unique perspective as both doctor and patient helps him empathize with the difficulties in making a transition from years of bad habits to a heart-healthy way of life.
THE SIMPLE HEART CURE DIET AND MEAL PLAN is a groundbreaking approach to preventing and reversing heart disease — an approach honed by Dr. Crandall's study of foreign cultures free of heart disease and decades of experience helping patients achieve a healthier heart at any age.
Dr. Crandall believes in using every weapon in his medical arsenal — conventional medicine, emerging treatments, lifestyle changes, even alternative therapies — to help his patients recover.

ARC Book Review:
The book is very simple in terms of what is here: very easy short chapters, a day by day meal plan, a few extra recipes to add variety, and then an exercise plan that amounts to walking 10,000 steps a day and a suggestion to do some resistance training. Nothing is really in detail here and I think the goal of the book is to keep from overloading readers who are likely already suffering from cardio vascular disease. As the author notes, he also had a heart attack and that is what prompted him to change his own diet. The diet includes eggs, yogurt, salmon, anchovies/herring, cottage cheese, and other animal products. The author lists his own meals that includes 2 egg whites and 1 egg yolk in the morning but then makes the recommendation that readers only eat 1 egg per day. This felt somewhat contradictory and it was interesting to note that he eats animal products at every meal. He believes that animal proteins are filling/satiating and so thinks it is important to keep them in a diet despite their cholesterol and saturated fat. He just wants everyone to avoid red meats except for game/wild animals and cut down on chicken.
