Summary

What if there was an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kick-starting weight-loss and keeping it off permanently?

That's what my guest, Dr. Neal Barnard is back on the show to discuss!

To remind you, Dr. Barnard is President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and was featured in Forks Over Knives, What The Health, Plant Pure Nation, Supersize Me, and many more incredible films, and has been a guest on this podcast probably 4-5 times now.

His brand new book, The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss just released Tuesday, I was honored to get a copy and I am just pouring over every single word.

Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.

In the book, Dr. Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:

1. can reduce the appetite

2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,

3. increase the body’s ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.

These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome.

To make it easy, Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent plant-based recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.
