Publisher's Synopsis
Obesity has skyrocketed, with nearly half of us measuring as obese. The incidence of type-2 diabetes has exploded by more than 200% since 1980, while heart disease and stroke has nearly doubled in the same timeframe. Worse, the interventions we've been using for the past 40 years aren't working. Dr Mark Linder gives readers the straight goods on why our health is spiralling out of control and what we can do about it. It is not a magic pill, a complicated array of supplements or a pile of cleverly marketed 'health' products. No, it is a simple two-step process. Step 1: stop eating processed carbohydrates; Step 2: stop eating vegetable oil. That's it. There's no wishy-washy pseudoscience here. Instead, Dr Linder, in his trademark off-the-cuff style, goes deep on macronutrient metabolism, explaining exactly what happens inside your body when you load in carbs, fats and proteins.
