Summary

'How Not to Diet is for those who want the facts, not your typical fantasy, filler or fluff.' - Telegraph

Put an end to dieting and replace weight loss struggles with this easy approach to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle, from the bestselling author of
How Not to Die.

Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or weight-loss fad – but they aren't making us happier or healthier as obesity rates continue to rise alongside a number of diseases and health problems. It’s time for a different approach.

How Not to Diet is a treasure trove of buried data and cutting-edge dietary research that Dr Michael Greger has translated into accessible, actionable advice with exciting tools and tricks that will help you to eliminate unwanted body fat – for good.

Dr Greger, renowned nutrition expert and founder of NutritionFacts.org, explores the many causes of obesity – from our genes to the portions on our plate to other environmental factors – and the many consequences, from diabetes to cancer to mental health issues. From there, Dr Greger breaks down a variety of approaches to weight loss, honing in on the optimal criteria that enable success, including: a diet high in fibre and water, a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar, and diet full of anti-inflammatory foods.

How Not to Diet goes beyond food to identify twenty-one weight loss accelerators available to us in our body’s systems, incorporating the latest discoveries in cutting-edge areas like chronobiology to reveal the factors that maximize our natural fat-burning capabilities. This is the ultimate weight-loss guide, taking a timeless, proactive approach that can stand up to any new trend.

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

An absolute MUST read for anyone struggling with maintaining a healthy weight or caught up in yo-yo dieting fads.

I have not finished the book yet, but I already have 6cm less ‘middle age spread’. Accompanied with the BRILLIANT free app and the how not to diet recipe book I am finally seeing the scales consistently go in the right direction without any sense of going without or experiencing hunger. Dr Greger’s translation of research and debunking of myths makes the science easily understood by my busy mind.
The whole foods recipes are delicious, simple, adaptable and very satisfying.
I have also noticed a significant improvement in energy levels and ease of movement due to the anti inflammatory benefits.
Thank you Dr Gregor...your work is truly life changing 🙏🏽

Fact filled and fabulous

I am a nurse in the UK and very interested in health research. This book covers the whole spectrum of challenges faced when losing weight, and how they can best be managed.
Health is the number one priority all through the book and the attention to detail is excellent. Dr. Greger is an animated and interesting narrator and it was a pleasure to listen to him.

Absolutely Brilliant.

Everyone needs to read / listen to this book. I have How not to die, which is amazing, this builds on that. So much essential information, not just for being slim, but for staying alive, and understanding the complexities of how our bodies work, how we are all different ...yet the same, and how to eat properly, forever, in order to never ever fad diet again. All backed up with evidence and fair summaries that, although in depth and scientific - are very easy to grasp and understand. I can not express how valuable this information is - READ IT. Good health.

Great book

this is a great book, if you think you might be interested then just get it. there's a tonne of information here and wherever Dr Gregor bases it on randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trials.

Hard to put down!

This is the second book of Dr Greger’s I’ve listened to and both I’ve struggled to put down. I’m always drawn back to listen to them and everyone in my family and friendship group will be hearing about what I’ve learnt from his books. Amazing listens, so well narrated and I will definitely be going back to listen to the rest of his books.
