Popular nutritionist Nora Gedguadas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: eat fat to burn fat. In Primal Fat Burner she explains the benefits and science behind a ketogenic (or fat-burning) diet, which switches your metabolism from a dependence on sugar to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years refute the long-promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now Gedgaudas explains the science that fat isn't a 'no-no' but rather a 'yes-yes' - if you know the right kinds of fats to eat. In her accessible, enjoyable style, she also lays out a practical meal plan with recipes. When you follow a ketogenic diet, you consume fewer calories overall! Author of the bestselling Grain Brain, Dr. David Perlmutter writes in his foreword that Primal Fat Burner is 'wonderfully actionable, compassionately taking the reader from "why" to "how."' On this diet, you efficiently and effectively metabolise fat (ketones and free fatty acids) as your primary source of fuel, rather than glucose from carbs, starches and sugars. Because fat is so satisfying, you naturally wind up eating less - without feelings of hunger or deprivation. And natural dietary fat is ultimately key to optimum health and longevity. Gedgaudas communicates a real appreciation for and understanding of the central role that dietary fat plays in your body and brain, and explains how you can eat to feel better, look better, think clearer and live longer.

In Hungry for Change: Beyond the Paleo Diet, Niklas Gustafson offers us a thorough and detailed explanation of all aspects of the food we eat: from the vested interests of the food industry - one of the most powerful in the world - to the disastrous consequences of consuming too many refined carbohydrates and sugars. Hungry for Change provides the key elements to help us turn away from foods that potentially do us harm and, instead, to choose the most suitable foods for our body to thrive and be as healthy as possible. To help put into practice what is essentially a revolutionary change in our eating habits, the second part of the Hungry for Change contains a wide range of recipes based on an approach to nutrition that allows us to continue to evolve through more beneficial and healthier foods for our body. Whilst being healthy, these recipes are delicious and, in most cases, simple to prepare. Although the roots of the book are found in the Paleo Diet and its principles, this book goes further. Niklas Gustafson encourages us to listen to our bodies again and understand what feels good to us, without imposing norms or rules. He reminds us of the importance of rest, of contact with nature, of re-enjoying those around us, of living in a responsible way. In short, he proposes a change in our lifestyle to help us live longer, better and happier.

Starting from the premise that lasting health requires a lifestyle that is counter to the short-term thinking and instant gratification prevalent in modern society, this book offers a treasure trove of easy-to-follow advice to help us live a healthier and happier life. When Singapore-based Australian chiropractor Vismai Schonfelder nearly died of a tropical disease in Africa--which he expertly shares in an appendix--his worldview was altered forever. His long recovery gave him a keen awareness of the timeless keys to a healthy mind, body and spirit. In a friendly, conversational style, Schonfelder helps us consider the following issues: What do we mean when we talk about "health"? What are the models of health care available to us? How do our personal values impact on our attitude to health? Why is drinking water a cornerstone of good health? Schonfelder's ultimate goal in this book is to steer us away from our reliance on modern Western medicine. He guides us to take responsibility for our own health, helping us improve what we eat, how we exercise, how we manage stress, how we think about wellness and sickness, and how we can benefit from alternative healthcare. |
