The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss [B0950]

2024 HCDJ 1st edition in nice clean condition (except p-173 has 2 short notations). From a leading nutrition researcher, this diet book offers easy to follow guidance and meal plans so you can lose the weight and keep it off-without depriving yourself the way other diets require. As a society, we keep looking for ways to lose weight-preferably ones that are simple, effective, and permanent. 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 includes 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Great advice and I'm enjoying trying some of the recipes!"; "This is a good, basic read for those who are starting a health journey. I've been following a plant based diet for a few years now and am not new to Dr. Barnard's work, so there wasn't a lot for me to learn here, but it was good to read to kick off the new year."; "Delicious, easy to make homestyle (kid approved) recipes! Good info and great recipes! We especially like the versatile Aloo Matar Indian potato tomato curry. The chapter of sauces is awesome! This is a good book for anyone looking to learn about or already on a WFPB diet. I have done this a long time and this is a step up in delicious, easy(!!) meals."
