The Protein Power Lifeplan - by Michael R Eades & Mary Dan Eades (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the groundbreaking New York Times bestselling authors of Protein Power, a comprehensive blueprint for optimal health with new research and unexpected findings!

The pioneering, year-long New York Times bestseller Protein Power changed the way we think about food when it revealed how a carbohydrate-loaded diet--not one rich in protein--can cause obesity. In The Protein Power Lifeplan, its authors Michael R. and Mary Dan Eades expand their theory and eating program and offer an astonishing three-tiered nutrition plan, enabling readers to choose their level of commitment and effort. This evolutionary-based diet makes it easy for everyone--even die-hard junk-food addicts!--to reap the benefits of good health. Treat major health problems (including high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and obesity) and change the way you live with:

• A fat primer: how some fats can reduce heart disease
• A look at sunlight: in a chapter sure to cause controversy, the Eades show why too little sun is unhealthy
• Research on insulin resistance: why it's so important to detect, and how to avoid the weight problems this condition can cause
• Crucial data on supplements: vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, chromium, and coenzyme Q10
• Important information on iron: why our bodies naturally conserve it and how to decrease iron buildup

...plus meal plans, recipes, kitchen stocking advice, and more.
