The pioneering physician scientist behind the New York Times
bestseller Eat to Beat Disease reveals the science of eating your way
to healthy weight loss.
In his first groundbreaking book, Dr. William Li explored the world of
food as medicine. By eating foods that you already enjoy, like tomatoes,
blueberries, sourdough bread, and dark chocolate your body activates its
five health defense systems to fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular,
neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, and other debilitating
conditions.
Now in Eat to Beat Your Diet, Dr. Li introduces the surprising new
science of weight loss, revealing healthy body fat can help you lose
weight; your metabolism at 60 can be the same as when you were 20; yo-yo
dieting can be good for your health; 8-hour fasting windows can be as
effective as 12-hour fasting windows; and losing just a little bit of
weight can have big impacts on your health. Eat to Beat Your Diet
shows readers how adding the right foods to your diet can heal your
metabolism, reduce unhealthy body fat, and result in the kind of weight
loss that can increase your lifespan and help you thrive. Foods like:
- Tomatoes
- Avocado
- Watermelon
