Yellow Kite Eat Fat Get Thin: Why the We Is Key to Sustained Weight Loss and Vibrant Health

Description

A revolutionary new diet program based on the latest science showing the importance of fat in weight loss and overall health, from New York Times #1 bestselling author For decades we've been told that the fat we eat turns to fat in the body, contributing to weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and generally poor health. And yet, even with all our low-fat products, we're fatter and sicker than ever before. What's going on? Could it be that the most feared food group is actually...the most helpful? As 'Pegan Plan' creator and author Dr Mark Hyman explains in Eat Fat Get Thin, a growing body of research is revealing the immense health and weight-loss benefits of a high-fat diet rich in eggs, nuts, oils, avocados, coconut oil, and other delicious superfoods. That's right - as it turns out, the key to losing weight, increasing overall energy, and achieving optimum wellness is eating more fat, not less. Dr Hyman debunks some of our most persistent fat-phobic myths and clearly explains the science behind fat's health benefits. In addition to learning why fat is good and which fats are best, you'll learn how to apply that knowledge to your day-to-day life. With easy-to-follow advice, simple and flavourful recipes, shopping lists, and more, Eat Fat Get Thin will help you lose weight and stay healthy for life. Review: Dietary Fat is not the Ogre we once thought - I have watched Dr Hyman on several videos and his lucid writing about the best we can be an WHY this is true makes his whole idea come alive I am about to try his 21 day protocol, but I'm sure it will do all he says it will do with roaring success He is one of the New Wave of doctors who believe in nutrition to heal our ills and the rampant disease promoted by GMOs, factory farms and Big Pharma I live in Germany, so feel safe from most of the excesses he decries, but we can all do better I have now healed a terrible case of psoriasis through nutrition by reversing this autoimmune disease, so I am not swayed by the drug industry He sets forth his cutting-edge research into dietary fat and how to reset our immune system and metabolism and gut for ultimate health without drugs Review: Paradigm Shift away from Low Fat Diet - I listened to Dr. Hyman's recent on-line "Fat Summit" ("Separating Fat from Fiction"), where I learned that our decades of low-fat diet was NOT based on any solid research, and that now we do have solid research revealing that the low-fat dietary prescription of decades has gotten us into a "Fat Mess". However, our minds have been shaped with this perception for decades. I truly can relate to how much the food pyramid and low-fat thinking has been part of my mentality towards eating. As I even consider eating fat, as he has revealed is healthy for us, I find my mind is so indoctrinated that I shouldn't! Thus, the value of this book, which I ordered when it came out this February, 2016. This book contains much of the same information from the Fat Summit, plus helpful and practical information, ideas, and recipes. The book delves into how bad sugar is for us, as well, and discusses all our food categories and how they affect our bodies. He discusses types of fat, that all fats are not equal, that our body fat isn't just the fat we ate, how different fats do different things in our bodies. It was a lot of new information for me. This book isn't a fad diet book. It's presenting a paradigm shift to our standard American diet, and presents, proved by much research, how and why our typical diet is harming us, as well as how to eat healthy and about including fat in our diet. I'm much more solidly convinced to get away from processed foods and sugar, as I read this. And with his advice I'm trying his ideas for adding the right fat into our diet, and have a better understanding of what fats to avoid. Dr. Hyman is using this information to help his patients get thin, reverse heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and more. We haven't had a chance to try that, but knowing that he has success with his patients I would recommend people with these issues check out this book. All of the information is supported by much research. He presents both information and a program and recipes for changing our eating habits based on the research. This book is written in a very readable way. He has a nice sense of humor, too, and is very personable. I pick up from him a heart to get this information out to the masses. As I read the book, I'm finding my mind is changing in my perception of not only fat, but also sugar. In trying the recipes which incorporate eating more fat, and only real food (vs processed) and in trying to follow his guidelines, I'm experiencing I can break away from sugar more easily. Dr. Hyman's approach is a combination of paleo with vegetarian. Which he calls "Pegan". ( He does offer guidance for eating fat in a vegetarian diet, too.)
