Nathan Pritikin
1 The basics for a low fat diet.
This book changed my life too. It is an outstanding (if a little out of date - 1985) look at our high fat diets and how they contribute to atherosclerosis of our blood vessels. A must read for those folks looking for low, low, cholesterol levels ( <160 mg/dl).

Here's a short volume that changed my life. The late Nathan Pritikin puts poor eating habits in the scope of his nutritional shotgun and fires away. Simply put, he's been in favor of low-fat diets since being against high-fat diets wasn't cool. This concise volume is much more than a book for runners, it's a book for a healthy, activity filled life. Bon Appetite
