Optimize your Weight and Health With Dr/ Mercola's Total Health Breakthrough
Your Complete guide to weight loss, preventing disease and premature aging, and living healthy and longer!
A valuable collection of 149 healthy recipes designed for your own Nutritional Type, this cookbook includes valuable sections you wouldn't find elsewhere:
- Recommended cookware and kitchenware, why what you use to cook and prepare food is almost as important as the food itself.
- Juicing for your Nutritional Type - the importance of juicing and the benefits of doing it to your NT.
- Full chapter on Nutritional Typing straight from my other bestselling book, Take Control of Your Health, which will tell you how I discovered NT and how you can determine your type.
- Additional resources I recommend on nutrition: books, audios, videos, and many more!
- Information on some new and exotic ingredients you can have fun with!
Now here are some foods you will need to avoid...
Meet the Villains: Sugars and Grains
The Total Health Program will tell you that no matter what your weight or nutritional type is, significantly reducing or eliminating grains and sugars from your diet is one of the best health adjustments you can make. Believe it or not, doing this will most likely help you start losing weight within days.
You'll discover...
- Why you should be on-guard against corn, the "unfamiliar grain," especially in its processed state!
- How the low-carb dieting rage recently popularized avoiding grains and sugars but, however effective in weight loss, misses the point about our carbohydrate needs!
- How meals or snacks high in carbs from grains and sweets affect insulin production, which could promote fat and hinder muscle production in your body
- What role the history of agriculture has in our discovery of and resulting indulgence in starch, potatoes, and sugars.
- How grains and sugars make you fat (and it's NOT intake of fat!)
Now that I've discussed one dark side to eating, it's time to delve on the essentials. Again, there are no quick, overnight solutions for weight loss (they were being honest when they said Rome wasn't built in a day), but there are optimal ways to go about it without sacrificing the foundations of health.
