Smart Fat

“This wonderful book paves the way to welcome this critical nutrient back to the table, opening the door for health and disease resistance.” — David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, board certified neurologist and New York Times–bestselling author of Grain Brain and Brain MakerFor years experts have told us that eating fat is bad. But by banning fat from our diets, we’ve deprived ourselves of considerable health benefits—and have sabotaged our efforts to lose weight. Renowned nutritionist Jonny Bowden and well-respected physician Steven Masley independently came to the same conclusion about why so many people continually fail to shed pounds and get healthy. It all comes back to a distinction far more important than calories vs. carbs or paleo vs. plant-based: smart fat vs. dumb fat.In Smart Fat, they explain the amazing properties of healthy fat, including its ability to balance hormones for increased energy and appetite control, and its incredible anti-inflammatory benefits. The solution for slimming down—and keeping the pounds off for life—is to “smart-fat” your meals, incorporating smart fats with fiber, protein, and most importantly, flavor.Bowden and Masley identify smart fats, explain what not to eat, and provide a thirty-day meal plan and fifty recipes based on the magic formula of fat, fiber, protein, and flavor. Getting smart about fat—and everything you eat—and learning to smart-fat your meals is the only solution you'll ever need.“A groundbreaking book that’s going to create a seismic shift in how we look at fat AND why we need much more of it in our diet.” — JJ Virgin, New York Times–bestselling author of Sugar Impact Diet“A twenty-nine-day menu, meal-by-meal advice and “diet” recipes that sound like no diet you’ve ever been on–beef stew, anyone?–round out this informative and useful volume.” — BookPage
