Summary

Put an end to dieting and replace weight-loss struggles with this easy approach to a healthy, plant-based lifestyle. Every month seems to bring a trendy new diet or a new fad to try in order to lose weight - but these diets clearly aren’t making us any happier or healthier.

As obesity rates and associated disease and impairments continue to rise, it’s time for a different approach. How Not to Diet is a treasure trove of buried data and cutting-edge dietary research that Dr Michael Greger has translated into accessible, actionable advice with exciting tools and tricks that will help you to safely lose weight and eliminate unwanted body fat - for good.

Dr Greger, renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of nutritionfacts.org, explores the many causes of obesity - from our genes to the portions on our plate to other environmental factors - and the many consequences, from diabetes to cancer to mental health issues.

From there, Dr Greger breaks down a variety of approaches to weight loss, honing in on the optimal criteria that enable success, including: a diet high in fibre and water, a diet low in fat, salt, and sugar, and a diet full of anti-inflammatory foods.

How Not to Diet then goes beyond food to explore the many other weight-loss accelerators available to us in our body’s systems, revealing how plant-based meals can be eaten at specific times to maximise our bodies’ natural fat-burning activities.

Dr Greger provides a clear plan not only for the ultimate weight loss diet but also the approach we must take to that diet to unlock its greatest efficacy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An absolute MUST read for anyone struggling with maintaining a healthy weight or caught up in yo-yo dieting fads.

I have not finished the book yet, but I already have 6cm less ‘middle age spread’. Accompanied with the BRILLIANT free app and the how not to diet recipe book I am finally seeing the scales consistently go in the right direction without any sense of going without or experiencing hunger. Dr Greger’s translation of research and debunking of myths makes the science easily understood by my busy mind.
The whole foods recipes are delicious, simple, adaptable and very satisfying.
I have also noticed a significant improvement in energy levels and ease of movement due to the anti inflammatory benefits.
Thank you Dr Gregor...your work is truly life changing 🙏🏽

Fact filled and fabulous

I am a nurse in the UK and very interested in health research. This book covers the whole spectrum of challenges faced when losing weight, and how they can best be managed.
Health is the number one priority all through the book and the attention to detail is excellent. Dr. Greger is an animated and interesting narrator and it was a pleasure to listen to him.

Hard to put down!

This is the second book of Dr Greger’s I’ve listened to and both I’ve struggled to put down. I’m always drawn back to listen to them and everyone in my family and friendship group will be hearing about what I’ve learnt from his books. Amazing listens, so well narrated and I will definitely be going back to listen to the rest of his books.

This is amazing, if only everyone knew this!

Dr Greger and his team have done all this work so we don't have to. I have no idea how we can get this out there as there are lots of corporations who want to stop it. but thank you Dr G, I'm one of the lucky ones who really love all the food you recommended 😊

Hooray for Dr Greger

Brilliant book, I’m so glad Dr Greger narrated it too!
Really gets you thinking about what you are eating and what foods affect you, I’ve pretty much switched to a vegetarian diet now and am really enjoying the benefits, lost nearly a kilo in a week and have been eating more!! Who knew!
Give it a listen!
