Celebrate food! Enjoy the holidays and be healthier. Dr. Kevin Vigilante says, "any doctor who tells you to completely eliminate an entire food group is irresponsible!" Low-Fat Lies shows you can have your stuffing and eat it too — along with the potatoes, yams and cranberry sauce on your holiday table. In Low-Fat Lies, Dr. Kevin Vigilante goes beyond confronting the lie of the low-fat diet to expose high-fat frauds, clear up carbohydrate conundrums, and presents you with a time-tested way to achieve health by eating truly delicious and satisfying food. Dr. Vigilante lays out the reasons why the Atkins Diet is dangerous: 1. "The association between meat consumption and colon cancer is very strong, and recent evidence has convincingly linked well-cooked meat to breast cancer." 2. "Saturated fat has been shown to raise levels of LDL cholesterol, which is strongly associated with heart disease." 3. A recent study indicates that ketosis (the cornerstone of the Atkins diet) can promote oxidation — a key step in many diseases including cancer and heart disease. 4. "Protein leaches calcium out of your system and with osteoporosis already reaching epidemic proportions, we don't need diets that increase its risk."

He is a seasoned guest who has recently appeared on 20/20, Good Morning America, and Fox News and has been featured in "Health", "Mens Health", "BottomLine Health", "USA Today", "New York Times", and "Glamour."
