"Author of Primal Body, Primal Mind Nora Gedgaudas presents a revolutionary, scientific, accessible high-fat diet for maintaining health, losing weight, and reversing some chronic diseases. Nutritionist Nora Gedguadas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: Eat fat to burn fat. 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. Numerous studies refute the long-promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Fat isn't a "no-no" but rather a "yes-yes" - if you know the right kinds of fats to eat. A practical meal plan with recipes. When you follow a ketogenic diet, you consume fewer calories overall. On this diet, you efficiently and effectively metabolize 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. Natural dietary fat is ultimately key to optimum health and longevity. The central role that dietary fat plays in your body and brain, and how you can eat to feel better, look better, think clearer, and live longer. Nora Gedgaudas, an expert on the Paleo diet, is a highly successful experienced nutritional consultant, speaker and educator. Visit her website at primalbody-primalmind.com"--Provided by publisher.
