Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You and Your Waistline

by Steven R. Gundry

Book Overview

A renowned heart surgeon presents an accessible, research-based program to teach you how you can "reset" your genes to restore your health, lose weight, and extend your life.

Does losing weight and staying healthy feel like a battle? Well, it's really a war. Your enemies are your own genes, backed by millions of years of evolution, and the only way to win is to outsmart them. Dr. Steven Gundry's revolutionary book shares the health secrets other doctors won't tell you:

- Why plants are "good" for you because they're "bad" for you, and meat is "bad" because it's "good" for you
- Why plateauing on this diet is actually a sign that you're on the right track
- Why artificial sweeteners have the same effects as sugar on your health and your waistline
- Why taking antacids, statins, and drugs for high blood pressure and arthritis masks health issues instead of addressing them

Along with the meal planner, 70 delicious recipes, and inspirational stories, Dr. Gundry's easy-to-memorize tips will keep you healthy and on course.

amazing

This book has changed the way I see food and now I want everyone I know who struggles with heartburn, indigestion and weight to read it so they can be enlightened. I no longer suffer with heartburn and I do not feel bloated like a stuffed sausage in casing..I just feel lighter and able to breathe better.

Diet "Evolution"

More like, "Revelation"! After 4 weeks I've lost 11lbs and feel great. It is difficult staying away from processed foods(breads, cereals, diet sodas, etc...), but gets easier every time you step on the scale. I haven't even started incorporating exercise into my regime. Can only imagine how much faster the weight will fall off when I do. Thank you, Dr. Gundry, for writing this amazing book. -Diet Update. June 16, 2008 Six weeks later and I've lost 17 more pounds. I have to say, my enthusiasm for Dr. Gundry's diet program is as strong as the day I started. Which says a lot, because I usually lose interest in dieting after a short time. It really helps to go back and read through his book. I'm always finding information that I missed the first go around. Next to my iPhone, it's the best purchase I've ever made!
