The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss
By Dr. Neal Barnard

Leading nutrition researcher Dr. Neal Barnard’s new diet plan offers an evidence-based, food-as-medicine protocol for losing weight and keeping it off.

Weight loss is a top health concern, so much so that many people keep looking for a good method, preferably one that’s easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.

This book reveals three breakthroughs supported by research showing that certain foods can do the following:

• Reduce the appetite
• Trap calories so that they are flushed away and can’t be absorbed
• Increase the body’s ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal

These breakthroughs make losing weight easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we may think are good for us can actually be harmful. For instance, salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil all pass easily into body fat—and often overstay their welcome.

The book includes a simple-to-follow meal plan that includes delicious and even indulgent recipes that feature foods we’ve often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta. So you can eat real food and still lose real weight!
