Why Eating Less and Exercising More Makes You Fat: Current Health Advice is Failing Us - Learn the Four Fundamentals For Burning Fat and Getting Healthy
Health care professionals and fitness experts constantly tell people who want to lose weight they should eat less and exercise more. Counting calories and eating low fat food while spending hours at the gym has become a modern day dogma for weight loss, but such advice is profoundly flawed and clearly not working. This book explains in a clear and accessible way, why this seemingly logical advice fails most people over and over again.
This book is a culmination of Stephanie's years of training and experience along with personal experimentation to understand the true cause of weight gain, or more precisely fat gain, and the mechanisms with which you can re-set your body into being a fat-burner and not a fat-storer. Stephanie shares with you a system of interventions based on science to trigger fat burning and regulate appetite control, which leads to permanent fat loss and food freedom. This includes why blood sugar management is fundamental to long-term health and weight loss; how to exercise less to burn more fat; the surprising importance of a healthy gut microbiome - the 100 trillion bacteria that live in your gut and their influence on your weight, and why intermittent fasting is one of the quickest and easiest ways to restore the body to a fat-burning machine.

Read, learn and put into action.
Such a good book (and I've read 100's). I've been interested in food as medicine for 40 years. You think you know it all then a book like this comes along and reminds you that you never stop learning. I'm such a believer in eating good home cooked real food with no processed rubbish. I removed all bread, all flour products, grains, sugar and white potatoes from my diet a while ago (2018) & never been afraid to eat good fats. I miss the odd meal because I'm really not hungry. I'm slimmer, healthier and look younger than my 57 years so will always eat this way for life. My blood pressure is down, my triglycerides are down and Hdl up. (good cholesterol) I went from 11 stone 4 lbs to 8 stone 4lbs with no effort what so ever in 4 months and have kept it off since. At 5 foot 7 inches that was a uk size 14 to a uk size 6/8. No rubbish foods taste as good as being slim feels. Please give low carb eating a go and watch the weight fall off.

Informative
Loved the explanation, especially ‘The Geek Box’
Would have liked more examples of how to put the new way of eating into place

Interesting read.
Certainly gives you something to think about. Will take on board as much as I can and see how I get on.
