From the author of the major bestseller How Not to Die comes a new look at why diets fail us – and the groundbreaking scientific research behind how a plant-based diet can maximize our fat-burning systems.
Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or a new fad to try in order to lose weight – but these diets clearly aren’t making us any healthier. As obesity rates continue to rise, and with it a growing number of diseases and impairments, it’s time for a different approach.
Enter Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of nutrtionfacts.org. Having explored the top 15 causes of death in his bestselling How Not to Die, Dr. Greger now turns his attention to the latest scientific research on the leading causes of obesity. He lays the groundwork by exploring the many causes of obesity – from our genes to the portions on our plate to other environmental factors – and the many consequences, from diabetes to cancer to mental health issues.
From there, Dr. Greger breaks down a variety of approaches to weight loss, honing in on the optimal criteria that enable success, including: a diet high in fiber and water, a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar, and diet full of anti-inflammatory foods.
But How Not to Diet goes beyond food to explore the many other weight-loss accelerators available to us in our body’s systems, revealing how plant-based meals can be eaten at specific times to maximize our bodies’ natural fat-burning activities. It provides a clear plan not only for the ultimate weight loss diet, but also the approach we must take to that diet to unlock its greatest efficacy.
Full of accessible, actionable advice and cutting-edge dietary research, How Not to Diet will put an end to dieting – and replace those constant weight-loss struggles with an easy approach to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle.
