Introduction<br > Contrary to what some Americans think, Italian food is not the stereo-<br > typical mountain of spaghetti crowned with baseball-sized meatballs and<br > a plate of sticky sweet pastries stuffed with gooey cream.

I ve kept the amounts of all fats to a minimum.<br > In fact, eating more carbohydrates, siguificantly less fat and moderate<br >amounts of protein, which current studies suggest as the most nutritious<br >diet you can follow, has a wonderful side benefit: reduced calorie con-<br >sumption. That s because fats contain an incredibly dense number of<br >calories per gram--more than twice as much as any other type of food.<br >Rather than counting individual calories, many doctors recommend just<br >
