Publisher's summary

Dr. Neal Barnard’s new diet and plan offers an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kickstarting weight loss and keeping it off.

Eat These Foods, Lose the Weight

Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.

In his next book, leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:

1. can reduce the appetite

2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,

3. increase the body’s ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.

These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome.

To make it easy, Dr. Barnard will include a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good sound research and results

Just wish Dr Barnard would have read/narrated it himself. I find his voice to very very easy to listen to

Food Choices Matter

Such an interesting take on dieting. Food choices matter so why not choose foods that help with weight loss more so than other foods do. This goes beyond the basic dieting principles of eat less sugar, carbs & red meat. Certain foods promote weight loss. There is more detail beyond eat this, not that. The science behind the why is briefly explained. I will listen to this book again and again. A lot of helpful information!

Great information

This is great for weightloss. Gives you the I formation to make a 3 week switch and see how you feel.
