'Wonderfully actionable, compassionately taking the reader from 'why' to 'how'.' Dr David Perlmutter, author of the international bestseller Grain Brain Expert nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas, bestselling co-author of Going Paleo with Pete Evans, explains the science and evidence behind the revolutionary new health message: Eat fat to burn fat. In her new book, Primal Fat Burner, she explains the benefits behind a ketogenic (or fat-burning) diet, which switches your metabolism from a dependence on sugar to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years refute the long-promoted anti- saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now Gedgaudas explains the science that fat isn't a 'no-no' but rather a 'yes-yes'-if you know the right kinds of fats to eat. In her accessible, enjoyable style, she also lays out a practical meal plan with recipes. When you follow a ketogenic diet, you consume fewer calories overall, feel better, look better, think clearer, and live longer.
