Book description
Since the late 1950's, it's been drilled into us that fat is bad,
saturated fat is worse, and tropical fats, like coconut and palm, are
just about as near to poison as a food can be. However, a new and
unprejudiced look at fat research over the last fifty years indicates
that the opposite is true, and that saturated fats, and in particular
coconut oil, are the healthiest fats you can eat. This diet will put you
back on the track that nature intended for efficient nourishment. This
is not a deprivational diet. Let go of the notion that you must suffer
to lose weight. Starving yourself is counter-productive, as it signals
the body to hold fat. Instead, eating sufficient quantities of the right
combinations of fats (as outlined in the recipes and menu plans), you'll
notice that you can go for several hours without eating, and without
experiencing cravings because the body is satisfied and also has stable
blood sugar levels. As a result, hunger pangs melt away, and eating
sensibly becomes easy!
