Zapomeňte na vše, co jste se učili o dietách. Známý endokrinolog Dr. David Ludwig vysvětluje, proč tradiční diety nefungují, a představuje nový radikální plán, který vám pomůže zhubnout bez hladovění a zlepšit zdraví. Dr. Ludwig více než dvě desetiletí vedl výzkum kontroly hmotnosti a jeho průkopnické studie ukazují, že tukové buňky nerostou kvůli přejídání, ale naopak – jsou naprogramovány k růstu, což nás nutí jíst více. O tom, kolik kilogramů přiberete nebo ztratíte, rozhodují tukové buňky. Nízkotučné diety situaci zhoršují, protože tukové buňky hromadí více kalorií pro sebe a zpomalují metabolismus, což způsobuje pocit hladu a nevyrovnanosti. Když se snažíte omezit kalorie, vzniká konflikt mezi myslí a metabolismem, což často vede k přibírání. Kniha odmítá nízkokalorické diety a nabízí třífázový program, který se zaměřuje na tukové buňky. Obsahuje recepty a jídelní plány s pokrmy bohatými na zdravé tuky, chutné bílkoviny a přírodní sacharidy. Výsledkem je, že tukové buňky uvolňují nadbytečné kalorie a vy ztrácíte kilogramy a centimetry, aniž byste museli hladovět nebo bojovat se svými chutěmi.
