Leading Harvard Medical School expert and "obesity warrior" (TIME magazine) rewrites the rules on weight loss, diet, and health.
Forget everything you've been taught about dieting. In the New York Times
bestseller ALWAYS HUNGRY?, renowned endocrinologist Dr. David Ludwig
explains why traditional diets don't work, and presents a radical new
plan to help you lose weight without hunger, improve your health, and
feel great.For over two decades, Dr. Ludwig has been at the forefront of
research into weight control. His groundbreaking studies show that
overeating doesn't make you fat; the process of getting fat makes you
overeat. That's because fat cells play a key role in determining how
much weight you gain or lose. Low-fat diets work against you, by
triggering fat cells to hoard more calories for themselves, leaving too
few for the rest of the body. This "hungry fat" sets off a dangerous
chain reaction that leaves you feeling ravenous as your metabolism slows
down. Cutting calories only makes the situation worse-creating a battle
between mind and metabolism that we're destined to lose. You gain more
weight, even as you struggle to eat less food. ALWAYS HUNGRY? turns
dieting on its head with a three-phase program that ignores calories and
targets fat cells directly. The recipes and meal plan include luscious
high fat foods (like nuts and nut butters, full fat dairy, avocados, and
dark chocolate), savory proteins, and natural carbohydrates. The
result? Fat cells release their excess calories and you lose weight-and
inches-without battling cravings and constant hunger. This is dieting
without deprivation.Forget calories. Forget cravings. Forget dieting.
ALWAYS HUNGRY? reveals a liberating new way to tame hunger and lose
weight . . . for good.
