Super body : a three-week program to harness the new science of body composition and restore your youthful contours / William Davis.

Summary:

"Forget everything you've been told about diet (from your doctor, the food industry, wellness influencers, etc.). Too many of us mistakenly believe that calorie restriction, pharmaceutical weight loss drugs, and bariatric procedures are effective solutions for weight loss. However, these "solutions" are plagued by serious problems, including virtually guaranteed weight regain. Muscle mass is what maintains our weight, and it also provides youthful vigor, mobility and overall health. When we diet, any muscle lost is often re-gained as fat, leaving us in worse shape than before. The essential microbes that have also been lost in our diet weakens us in the same way. In Super Body he reveals how we can restore our bodies through nutrition, microbes, and supplements. The solutions to health, including weight management, do not lie in pharmaceuticals or procedures, but in returning to the natural foods necessary for human life"-- Provided by publisher.

    Ditch the diets and drugs and find a healthier you.

    In SUPER Body, Dr. William Davis, MD, exposes why current weight-loss methods—including drugs like Ozempic—don’t lead to long-term success and can have serious health consequences. One of the most important reasons underlying this phenomenon is that most weight-loss strategies involve loss of muscle mass, while weight regain is almost entirely fat. Cutting calories, injecting a drug, or undergoing bariatric surgery doesn’t address the underlying causes of obesity and worse, causes more health problems, so health issues and the weight come back full force. Drawing on new science, including his own clinical research, in SUPER Body Dr. Davis explains, in his clear, easy-to-read, and provocative style:

    ·      Why not all fat is created equal and why most weight-loss efforts target the wrong type of fat

    ·      The myth of calories in, calories out, and other weight-loss fairy tales

    ·      How Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs are quick fixes that are disastrous for your digestive system and lead to long-term failure

    ·      The importance of the gut-muscle axis, so you can avoid weight-loss tactics that wreak havoc on your gut health and muscle mass

    ·      How you can actually lose weight, reduce body fat, and ditch the Homo Walmarticus body

    And more.

    SUPER Body also includes a three-week plan, easy movement strategies, recipes and ways to restore the nutrients that your body is missing.
