Leading Harvard Medical School expert and "obesity warrior" (Time
magazine) Dr. David Ludwig rewrites the rules on weight loss, diet, and
health in this guide to retraining your cells and reclaiming your health
for life.
Forget everything you've been taught about dieting. In 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 by 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.
