An acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a
paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry's focus on
protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent
us from losing weight.
Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them
advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded
with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain
or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is
essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert
in weight loss asks, "Is all this protein making us healthier?"
The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually
making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are
getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as
protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less
protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge
getting sicker by the day.
As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the
ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't
until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about
it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient
experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world's
longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals
the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to
weight loss, health, and longevity.
