Fat is not the enemy!
Croissants. Brioche. Brie. To the American palate, these foods are
fattening and oftentimes “forbidden.” Yet they are the regular
staples of the French diet. And though almost half of all Americans
are overweight, France’s obesity rate is at a low eight percent,
while the French also boast fewer cases of stroke and heart
disease. It’s clear that America’s obsession with low-fat and
fat-free foods has ultimately failed.
In The Fat Fallacy, neuroscientist Will Clower explains precisely
why the American diet sabotages weight-loss efforts and discusses
how French eating habits can lead to better health and trimmer
physiques. In this revolutionary work, Dr. Clower explains:
? How highly processed “fake foods” are the real culprit in the
American diet
? Why it’s not just what you eat but how you eat that makes a
difference
? Easy ways to adopt the habits of the French to melt the pounds
away, including
complete dinner recipes—with dessert!
Finally, here’s a plan that cuts through the high-proteinlow-fat
debate. It’s not a gimmicky diet program but a way of life that
will invite Americans to enjoy food like never before—while being
healthier and trimmer than they ever could have imagined.
