Primal Fat Burner: Live Longer, Slow Aging, Super-Power Your Brain, and Save Your Life with a High-Fat, Low-Carb Paleo Diet

Popular nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: eat fat to burn fat. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years have refuted the previously promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda.

I'm surprised because the book mentions that you'll be tired for the first two to three weeks but I feel better than I did before. I look forward to the progression and process ahead. Thank you Nora for. A must read for all, especially physicians. If every person followed this book to the letter the US medical expenditures would be cut drastically and most importantly a person's quality of life would increase exponentially. Being an M.D., I can tell you there was barely any training whatsoever in nutrition. A doctor's training is all about pathophysiology and pharmacological treatment for the most part. The true etiology of a disease is not addressed but merely papered over with drugs. For example, a Type II diabetic does NOT hav
