Synopsis
In The Fatburn Fix, renowned family physician and LA Lakers Nutrition Director Cate Shanahan, MD proves that the answer to weight gain isn't a "faster" metabolism, more exercise, or even self-control. It all boils down to what Dr. Cate calls the Fatburn Factor, or the body's natural-born ability to burn body fat as fuel.
After years of research and observing the patients in her practice, Dr. Cate discovered that there are certain enzymes required for the body to seek out and utilize body fat for energy. Without these enzymes, people lose the ability to burn fat, making weight gain almost unavoidable. Worse, the loss of your fat-burning enzymes causes your cells to depend on sugar for energy. This leads to elevated blood sugar, putting you at risk for diabetes, and disrupts nearly every hormone in your body.
Now, in The Fatburn Fix, Dr. Cate lays out a step-by-step plan to help reboot your fat burn potential in as little as two weeks, opening the door to a lifetime of looking and feeling better than you ever thought possible. This comprehensive guide includes complete meal plans, recipes, and exercise tips that not only repair damage to your metabolism, but also address the number one cause of weight retention and regain.
How does it work? The program magnifies your fat burn capacity by training your cells to burn body fat on demand. By making a few changes what you eat (and when)--such as reducing carbohydrates, switching out toxic fats for healthy ones, and adding high-quality proteins--your body will produce the enzymes that allow it to seek out and utilize body fat for energy. Regaining your fat burn potential allows you to free yourself from dependence on sugar - and avoid a constellation of chronic diseases as a result.
Improving your Fatburn Factor is the key to a new, healthier relationship between you and your body, paving the way for a faster, smoother, and more permanent journey to optimum health, weight, and happiness.

A proven plan to reboot your body's natural ability to burn fat as fuel, allowing you to lose weight, gain energy, and achieve optimum health.
Over decades of research, renowned family physician Cate Shanahan, MD has discovered that our ability to use body fat for energy is essential to our health. But that ability is stunted by the Standard American Diet: the more we rely on sugar to feed our energy-starved brains, the more we overeat, harm our metabolism, and make unhealthy food choices.
In The Fatburn Fix, Dr. Shanahan proves that the key to weight loss, increased energy, and overall vitality lies in burning body fat for fuel. To lose weight without feeling tired or hungry, we need to repair our "fatburn" capabilities by retraining our bodies to burn fat, not sugar - and that means fixing our metabolism, first and foremost.
The Fatburn Fix lays out a revolutionary, step-by-step plan to help reboot your fatburn potential in as little as two weeks. By making a few changes to what you eat (and when)--such as cutting vegetable oils and sugar, and introducing intermittent fasting--your body will be able to better utilize body fat for energy.
Dr. Shanahan shares five important rules to fix your metabolism (and thus fix your fatburn):
1) Eat natural fats, not vegetable oils.
2) Eat slow-digesting carbs, not starchy carbs or sweets.
3) Seek salt.
4) Drink plenty of water.
5) Supplement with vitamins and minerals.
She then follows it with a customizable plan that takes you through two phases of metabolic repair, laying out breakfast, lunch, and dinner for each phase, and introducing the process of intermittent fasting. The plan is widely accessible and easy to follow, and will appeal to anyone looking for an alternative to ketogenic diets.
Once we fix our metabolism and allow our body to draw energy from its fat stores, we cut down cravings, snacking, and other unhealthy habits. Regaining your fatburn potential is the key to a new, healthier relationship between you and your body, paving the way to effortless weight loss, increased energy, and long-term health and happiness.
