The Surprising Truth About the Fat We Eat: the Key to Sustained Weight Loss and Vibrant Health

2016

Temporary review - I'm putting this book to the test and trying to implement it in daily life.

I like that the author gets into the data and refutes a lot of the bad advice that have been circulated extensively since the 70's. There is a lot of discussion of healthy practices and why they're healthy! There are recommendations for specific vitamins/supplements and even initial lab testing a person should consider requesting to see where their body stands at the beginning of their lifestyle change.

The basics appear to be pretty much Paleo/Ketogenic diet. Carb avoidance with the exception of veggies. Avoiding grain-based starches. But there are some quirky things allowed (potato starch, for example). There is really good coverage on things to avoid for pretty much anybody based on up-to-date quality scientific data.
