Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats

by Mary Enig

Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Based on more than two decades of research, Eat Fat, Lose Fat flouts conventional wisdom by revealing that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as corn and soybean) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crisis, while the saturated fats traditionally considered "harmful" (from such foods as coconut, butter, and meat) are essential to weight loss and health.

Just in time for the FDA's new mandatory trans fats labeling, the three programs in this book, which features delicious recipes, show that eating healthy fats is the answer to losing weight and achieving good health for a lifetime.

"If permanently losing weight while improving your health is a real goal, I highly recommend Eat Fat, Lose Fat."Dr. Joseph Mercola, bestselling author of The No-Grain Diet

"Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon are two of the most important voices in the wellness revolution. Eat Fat, Lose Fat is a must read."

Jordan S. Rubin, author of The New York Times' bestselling The Maker's Diet

This book is so much more than a weight loss book! It is a book for anyone concerned about nutrition. The authors expose many myths and offer wonderfully practical recipes and ideas. There are planned menus for weight loss, but also for those who will find out through reading the book that they don't need to gain weight, but want to change their diet based on the insights gained.
