"A weight loss surgeon delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry's focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent us from losing weight. Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Dr. Garth Davis asks, "Is all this protein making us healthier? "The answer, he emphatically argues, is no. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day. As a surgeon treating the obese, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. This book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity"--Provided by publisher.
