The international bestseller from award-winning writer Mark
Schatzker that reveals how our dysfunctional relationship with food
began-and how science is leading us back to healthier living and
eating. For the last fifty years, we have been fighting a losing
war on food. We have cut fat, reduced carbs, eliminated sugar, and
attempted every conceivable diet only to find that eighty-eight
million American adults are prediabetic, more than a hundred
million have high blood pressure, and nearly half now qualify as
obese. The harder we try to control what we eat, the unhealthier we
become. Why? Mark Schatzker has spent his career traveling the
world in search of the answer. Now, in The End of Craving, he poses
the profound question: What if the key to nutrition and good health
lies not in resisting the primal urge to eat but in understanding
its purpose? Beginning in the mountains of Europe and the fields of
the Old South, Schatzker embarks on a quest to uncover the lost art
of eating and living well. Along the way, he visits brain scanning
laboratories and hog farms, and encounters cultural oddities and
scientific paradoxes-northern Italians eat what may be the world's
most delicious cuisine, yet are among the world's thinnest people;
laborers in southern India possess an inborn wisdom to eat their
way from sickness to good health. Schatzker reveals how decades of
advancements in food technology have turned the brain's drive to
eat against the body, placing us in an unrelenting state of
craving. Only by restoring the relationship between nutrition and
the pleasure of eating can we hope to lead longer and happier
lives. Combining cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom, The End
of Craving is an urgent and radical investigation that "charts a
roadmap not just for healthy eating, but for joyous eating, too"
(Dan Barber, New York Times bestselling author of The Third Plate).

Put an end to dieting and replace weight loss struggles with this easy approach to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle, from the bestselling author of How Not to Die.
Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or weight-loss fad – but they aren't making us happier or healthier as obesity rates continue to rise alongside a number of diseases and health problems. It’s time for a different approach.
How Not to Diet is a treasure trove of buried data and cutting-edge dietary research that Dr Michael Greger has translated into accessible, actionable advice with exciting tools and tricks that will help you to eliminate unwanted body fat – for good.
Dr Greger, renowned nutrition expert and founder of NutritionFacts.org, explores 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 fibre and water, a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar, and diet full of anti-inflammatory foods.
How Not to Diet goes beyond food to identify twenty-one weight loss accelerators available to us in our body’s systems, incorporating the latest discoveries in cutting-edge areas like chronobiology to reveal the factors that maximize our natural fat-burning capabilities. This is the ultimate weight-loss guide, taking a timeless, proactive approach that can stand up to any new trend.
3-2-1 is a brand new way of cooking delicious food, that is
completely life changing. Every recipe is formulated to contain 3
portions of fruit and vegetables per person, serving 2 people and
all made in one pan. That's it! Curries, Stews, Traybakes,
Casseroles, Salads and more. Take the effort out of cooking and put
health and enjoyment back in. 'Food and nutritional medicine play a
crucial part in our general wellbeing - I've examined hundreds of
academic studies that show which diets have the biggest health
impact, which ingredients are best to include, as well as which
cooking processes maintain nutritional quality.' Bestselling author
and NHS medical doctor, Dr Rupy introduces his simple 3-2-1
formula, making it possible to easily cook healthy meals every
single day. Following on from his two bestselling cookbooks, he
builds on his message that the most important health intervention
anyone can make is what you put on your plate. Containing over 100
recipes that taste spectacular, offering a streamlined cooking
process, whilst ensuring health benefits to optimise wellbeing,
3-2-1 is an easy-to-follow health prescription. This daily 'dose'
of fresh ingredients, quality fats, whole grains and plenty of
fibre lowers the risk of disease. Guided by scientific evidence, Dr
Rupy's core principles of healthy eating remain the same - keep
plant focused, eat lots of fibre, plenty of colourful vegetables
and whole foods. Each incredible tasting dish promises 3 portions
of fruit and vegetables per person, 2 servings per meal and uses
only 1 pan. Need 4 portions for a family? Just double the
ingredients! As a busy doctor, Dr Rupy knows that one of the main
reasons people choose not to cook at home is lack of TIME as well
as the EFFORT to cook it. Each recipe is cleverly formulated to
require only one pan, minimising the cooking process (as well as
the washing up), and using as little equipment as possible - the
majority only require a knife, chopping board and a cooking dish.
Dr Rupy's practical and easy-to-use book promises gorgeous looking,
flavourful dishes that consistently look after our bodies, helping
to beat illness by optimising our food choices. This is a
prescription to fill yourself, one delicious plate at a time. Share
this formula for long lasting health and start cooking the 3-2-1
way!
