Are you ready for the truth about Fat?

Get it. Read it. Lose a bunch of weight like I did. Seriously... just make sure you spread the word. Nearly 70% of the population in America is obese or overweight. I am no longer overweight (according to the BMI). I was obese 9 months ago. This is not a coincidence. Fat doesn't make you fat.

Nina Teicholz follows in the footsteps of giants and delivers the truth in a very readable way.

No "huggy," feel-good philosophy here. Laurie Bell's book is a wake up call for the weight-loss crowd.  I liked her to-the-point, no nonsense approach.  People fail themselves because they cling to a number of deceptive lies.  As a champion body builder, mother of 2 and a holder of a Master of Science degree, she knows what she is talking about.

A brief description of my background:  I have been researching health & fitness since I was 16 years old, when my brother in law informed me that I was getting fat, I am now 44.

This book is the laymans version of Gary Taubes original, and far more technical, book Good Calories, Bad Calories which I have also read.  This is one of the books I recommend to people who ask me how I maintain such good health.  The information I excellent and provides and easy to understand scientific explanation of what causes people to gain body fat.  If you choose to read this book, prepare yourself because it will explain why conventional wisdom, our government guidelines, and even what your doctor tells you about eating healthy is wrong.  From my experience, MANY people are just not ready or willing to accept this information.

I have been working on changing my lifestyle since I was pretty fat and out of shape, and I am only 30. Still, I was/am at risk for hypertension. This is a good resource for those of you that even think you may be slightly at risk. It's worth learning about and how to change it rather than let it kill you.

This was a wonderful book! The authors systematically demolish the belief that high cholesterol is this evil thing that must be avoided at all costs. They use study upon study to prove their point. Just as in so many other areas of our health, we've been hoodwinked into believing things that hurt out health and put untold billions into pharmaceutical companies' pockets.  Why have we forgotten that just eating whole, natural, unprocessed foods and our health will take care of itself. It's liberating to know that I can eat grass fed beef, eggs, chicken etc. and not have to worry about the cholesterol or saturated fat. This book, along with "Wheat Belly" has transformed the way I eat.

Amazing book.
I always believed that fat is good for health.  I have never dieted or stopped eating what I liked.  I always used to look at the traditional cuisines and found that all the cuisines had fat content in that.
I remember my grandmother asking me to eat butter, clarified butter, cheese etc and used to say it builds the bone and the body.
This book really makes my understanding valid.  It is backed with lot of information, research to prove this point.

Great book for the people who want to stay healthy in a natural way.

Consider this:  everything you thought you knew about nutrition just might be wrong.  After years of watching my weight and my cholesterol creep ever higher (despite my low fat diet!) I began reading The Schwarzbein  Principle with a great deal of skepticism.  Gradually the book won me over  with its straightforward explanations of biochemical pathways, metabolism,  insulin levels, and food cravings.  Quite simply, it made a lot of sense.  I've been on the diet for about a month now and I no longer crave sugar  or carbohydrates.  I've lost a few pounds, but more importantly, I'm losing  inches and it's a pleasure to see my "insulin meter" tummy  disappearing.  Best of all, I have incredible energy and a delicious sense  of wellbeing, which I attribute to a healthy supply of seretonin.  The  healing plan menu at the end of the book is especially useful.  My  regular physician would probably have a fit if he knew I was on this diet.  I may have to fire him.

Astonishing and yet so obviously true. This book has opened my eyes to "real nutrition" and, since reading this, I've lost over 20 pounds of fat with no loss in muscle strength.

Well, this topic hits home for me, and I was pleasantly surprised by the info in this book!
I am in danger of pre-diabetes as my Hemoglobin A1-C test results have been a bit high in the last couple of years. My mother has Type 2 diabetes as well and is closely monitored. My doctor has put me on medication (Metformin) and advised me to watch my carbohydrate and sugar intake, and to eat leaner meats and more fish. According to this book, the culprit is animal fat and processed foods, not carbs, which was a surprise to me. I'd much rather have to eliminate animal fats than carbs!
The information in the book is explained well and backed up by doctors' research. It's also an easy read, not too long and drawn out.
I love that links are provided for the websites that the information is sourced from, and all I have to do is click on the link and I can watch related videos and do more research if I'd like to.
Some times we think we are making the right changes, but realize you are not properly informed. I have been following the Western diet recommendations and therefore none of my health problems are getting better. I look forward to a new approach, based on the info in this book, which makes total sense to me!
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I would and already have recommended it to my family and friends!

In full disclosure, Dr. Nadolsky sent me a review copy of the book before it came out.

The book delivers, plain and simple. It's not the type of book that's going to promise you "5 new ways to lose fat" or whatever. It's going to teach you what methods are scientifically proven and let you decide.

While there are workouts and nutrition guides to follow, the most important thing that you'll get from this book is the empowerment to know what is proven and what isn't so that you can make your own decision.

I bought this online strictly because of the title. I didn't preview a sample, I just jumped in. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I bought the ebook on Saturday June 4 and by sheer chance I was looking at the Parade magazine the next morning and it had a whole page on, "The Skinny on Fat". There was a quote from Dr Steven Masley, co-author or "Smart Fat", "It's a huge shift. We have been condemning all fat for 30 years without good evidence.:In light of that, I think the author of, "Eat Meat and Stop Jogging", Mike Sheridan is really on to something. It is a good read of about 160 pages and over 50 pages of the references he used. Now that is a boat load of references and I don't mean the Cliff Notes kind either. Anyway, read it and I think it will wet your appetite for more.

I am a fan of Sally Fallon Morell and of the Weston A Price organization nutrition recommendations.  So I purchased this book expecting that it would be good.  I was not disappointed.

Ms Morell debunks many of today's erroneous "guideline" aspects of nutrition regarding fats that have been spouted for many years, and which have begun to be invalidated lately from many sources.  And she supplies research for her conclusions, as well as providing some of the ways that studies from years past concerning fats and especially animal fats have been manipulated.

All in all, good information, factually presented.  A good read.

The first portion and the majority of this book is a light-science of fat, types and processes.  There is much to love about fat, it is a vital organ in our body and contributes to long life and happiness.  If you want to know the science behind what is around your middle, it is certainly enlightening.  Dr. Tara does a pretty good job making it readable, and she follows the current convention in science books of giving brief personal cameos on the scientists whose work she highlights.  The second portion is all about having too much fat: some freak events that cause us to be fat (beware chicken scratches!) and, particularly, hormonal changes that contribute to being overweight.  The last section is a review of weight loss approaches, by far the weakest portion of the book -- comprised of solutions and suggestions to combat the fat epidemic.  Not much new here, unfortunately!  Dr. Tara is brutally honest about the exercise and willpower required to control weight through middle age.  The section on intermittent fasting is possibly the most hopeful, though doesn't offer any magical answers.

My magical answer: life is short.  Love yourself.

The reigning mantra that a low fat, high carbohydrate and high exercise lifestyle will produce sustainable weight loss is shown to be based more on plain assertion than on science. This is an interesting and convincing read.
