From Atkins to Dukan, fear of the almighty carb has taken over the diet industry for the past few decades - even the mere mention of a starch-heavy food is enough to trigger an avalanche of shame and longing. But the truth is, carbs are not the enemy. Now, best-selling author John A. McDougall, MD, and his kitchen-savvy wife, Mary, prove that a starch-rich diet can actually help us lose weight, prevent a variety of ills, and even cure common diseases.

Story4 out of 5 stars 15
Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary audiobook, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease. The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

A life saver!
This book cuts out all the bs! I say it’s “a life saver” because even though I ate a “vegan” diet, I really wasn’t very healthy. It wasn’t till I finally let everything go that the results started happening. This book helped me see the truth about food. It’s not food if it’s not whole. Whole food low to no sos is the only way I was able to regain my health. At 50 years old, i’ve avoided cholesterol and blood pressure medication. My taste buds adjusted and I lost nearly 40 lbs so far. I feel amazing! Thank you Dr Doug Lisle and Dr Alan Goldhamer!

Where are the brass tacks?
Sorry Chef AJ, I think you are great BUT in this case, you are not reading a children’s bedtime story book. Your narration style in this book did not flow. It was difficult to understand and grasp what was been read because it was soooo S. L. O. W. You’re voice inflection accents just created confusion not flowing ideas and concepts. But then, you’re just reading the book, you didn’t write it!
The material was so very basic up to at least chapter 5. I don’t think I LEARNED anything, and I’d say that this information in this book was disseminated in high school and I graduated in 1983.
Overall, I was disappointed with this book, but thank you anyhow. I didn’t hit a home run every time I stepped up to the plate either when I played baseball.

Great info on the psychology and physiology of what causes some people to have addictions to things such as drugs, alcohol or food. Food is one you don’t often hear about in regards to addiction and this book gives explanation of the problem and a solution to food addiction too.

True to form
Some analogies were interesting. Nothing wrong with water fasting to correct the results of gluttony. But I think it’s more a philosophical issue, when all is said and done. We are pounded with information from early age on from self serving purveyors of all things,some of highly questionable benefit some downright poisonous. Our heads are swimming with advice and threats from all directions…how can one help but to fall into the old pleasure trap chasm just to escape it all….I mean…

A Life-Changer
Sometimes we just take for granted all the luxuries we have when it comes to food. Combine that with how many of us were raised with information our well-meaning parents thought was accurate about healthy eating, and we have a situation responsible for widespread health trouble. This book is well worth the time and will cast light on things we may not have considered, but will go forward being glad we consider them now! Well done.

Very interesting section on water only fasting!
Well laid out and convincing. The author gives good evidence to his claims. I especially enjoyed the chapters on water fasting. My complaint would be the politics and heavy trust in evolution to explain everything. If u can wade thru all that, the basic information was really interesting.
