Publisher's Synopsis
After publishing The 4 x 4 Diet, Erin discovered the huge impact that chronic inflammation has on our bodies, and the link between food and inflammation. Chronic inflammation is the cause for many common diseases and can lead to weight gain, and inflammatory foods like sugar, vegetable oil, refined flour, grain-fed meats, seed oils, and dairy products only contribute to (or cause) the damage. The good news is that eating fatty fish, coconut oil, cruciferous veggies, kale, ginger, and other anti-inflammatory foods can actually reverse inflammation and help you shed pounds. Erin helps readers swap in the right fats, carbs, and proteins while swapping out dairy for the most powerful plate possible. With simple food guidelines, readers have the freedom to make their plates as creative as they'd like while keeping inflammation at bay, slimming down, and powering their bodies with the best food possible. The Power Plate Diet includes a four-week meal plan, tips and tricks like carb substitutes (such as beet juice!), and the exercises and lifestyle principles that work for Erin and her clients. A clean diet free of saturated fats, refined carbs, processed meats, and dairy will keep you healthy and your waistline trim.
