Description

For the millions of overweight Americans who are constantly searching for new information on how to take off the weight and keep it off for good. For readers who've made cardiologists like Robert C. Atkins and Arthur Agatston authors of bestselling diet franchises. A renowned heart surgeon presents an accessible, research-based program to teach you how you can "reset" your genes to restore your health, lose weight, and extend your life. Does losing weight and staying healthy feel like a battle Well, it's really a war. Your enemies are your own genes, backed by millions of years of evolution, and the only way to win is to outsmart them. Dr. Steven Gundry's revolutionary book shares the health secrets other doctors won't tell you- . Why plants are "good" for you because they're "bad" for you, and meat is "bad" because it's "good" for you . Why plateauing on this diet is actually a sign that you're on the right track . Why artificial sweeteners have the same effects as sugar on your health and your waistline . Why taking antacids, statins, and drugs for high blood pressure and arthritis masks health issues instead of addressing them Along with the meal planner, 70 delicious recipes, and inspirational stories, Dr. Gundry's easy-to-memorize tips will keep you healthy and on course.

"After my bypass surgery, I read every diet and health book I could find. Dr Gundry's book is revolutionary because its new science is presented in a creative, fun, and easy-to-understand way. You'll want to take immediate action for long-term results; the plan is simple and life-changing."Greg Renker, co-founder of Guthy-Renker

After an impressive career as a physician and surgeon in the treatment of heart disease, Steve Gundry has been inspired to apply his experience, intellect and scientific background to preventive health measures. This practical and easily readable book describes Gundrys advice for heart health and general physical improvement. While people have no choice in their heredity and genetic composition, they can work with the inherited genes and improve their personal comfort and possibly extend life expectancy. His personal experience with control of obesity contains timely advice on this issue affecting modern society.Denton A. Cooley, M.D., President and Surgeon-in-Chief, Texas Heart Institute, Houston, Texas
