As seen on Channel 4's 'Lose a Stone in 21 Days', a new combined programme from the author of the international bestselling Fast 800 Diet.
Recent studies have shown that a keto diet not only produces significant weight loss, fast, but also has myriad other benefits for long term health. It is an approach that naturally compliments Dr Michael Mosley's Fast 800 programme. But it must be done the right way.
In The Fast 800 Keto, Dr Mosley presents the latest science on the ketogenic diet, a diet high in fat and protein and very low in carbs, explaining how it works and why it is so good for you. The aim of a keto regime is to put yourself into ketosis, whereby your body goes from burning sugar to burning fat for fuel. This process of 'flipping the metabolic switch' has the added advantage of making you feel less hungry, which makes the diet highly motivating and relatively easy to sustain. This book offers a detailed, step by step programme, along with easy tips and clear advice on which foods help put you into ketosis and which ones stop it, how you can tell if you are producing ketones and how to ensure that you doing the diet safely.
There are delicious recipes from Michael's wife, Dr Clare Bailey, as well as shopping lists, weekly meal planners and all the other tools you need to shift stubborn fat and transform your health for good.
Combine the surprising truth about brain food with the cutting-edge science of brain metabolism to achieve extraordinary improvements to your emotional, cognitive, and physical health.
Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control over your thoughts, feelings, and behavior than you realize. Although medications may bring some relief, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place.
In this provocative, illuminating guide, Dr. Ede explains why nearly everything we think we know about brain-healthy diets is wrong. We've been told the way to protect our brains is with superfoods, supplements, and plant-based diets rich in whole grains and legumes, but the science tells a different story: not only do these strategies often fail, but some can even work against us. The truth about brain food is that meat is not dangerous, vegan diets are not healthier, and antioxidants are not the answer.
Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind will empower you to:
- understand how unscientific research methods drive fickle nutrition headlines and illogical dietary guidelines
- weigh the risks and benefits of your favorite foods so you can make your own informed choices about what to eat
- evaluate yourself for signs of insulin resistance—the silent metabolic disease that robs your brain of the energy it needs to thrive
- improve your mental health with a choice of moderate-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets that you can personalize to your food preferences and health goals
Drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines including biochemistry, neuroscience, and botany, Dr. Ede will ignite your curiosity about the fascinating world of food and its role in nourishing, protecting, and energizing your brain.
