The bestselling author and internationally celebrated physician and
expert on nutrition offers an appealing, approachable health
solution-eat the foods you love to lose weight and get healthy. For
years, we've been told that a healthy diet is heavy on meat,
poultry, and fish, and avoids carbohydrates, particularly foods
high in starch-empty calories harmful to our bodies. But what if
everything we've heard was backwards? High in calories and
cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry
and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root
causes of a host of avoidable health problems-from indigestion,
ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and
cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains,
legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with
essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while
simultaneously fighting illness. But Americans eat far too few
calories from carbohydrates-only about forty percent, according to
Dr. John McDougall, internationally renowned expert on nutrition
and health, featured on the documentary Forks Over Knives. The
Healthiest Diet on the Planet helps us reclaim our health by
enjoying nutritious starches, vegetables, and fruits. McDougall
takes on the propaganda machines pushing dangerous, high-fat fad
diets and cuts through the smoke and mirrors of the diet industry.
He offers a clear, proven guide to what we should and shouldn't eat
to prevent disease, slow the aging process, improve our physical
fitness, be kind to the environment, and be our most attractive
selves. Featuring two dozen color photos and mouth-watering,
easy-to-follow recipes for buckwheat pancakes, breakfast tortillas,
baked potato skins, rainbow risotto, red lentil soup, green
enchiladas, dairy-free lasagna and pizza, and more, The Healthiest
Diet on the Planet will help you look great, feel better, and
forever change the way you think about health and nutrition.
