Your Fat Nature. How 'Harmful' Fat is Beneficial and How to Hack the Weight Gain Mechanism

Richard Johnson – Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor at the University of Colorado, expert on sugar. For over 25 years, he has been studying obesity and diabetes. The author not only provides new recommendations on how to prevent or treat... obesity but also explains how to use this information to prevent various diseases. Nature places a 'survival switch' in each person's body to protect them from hunger. When left in the 'on' position, it becomes a source of weight gain, heart disease, and many other common health problems. But you can turn it off. Guided by modern clinical research as well as fascinating observations from the animal world, evolution, and history, Dr. Johnson will explain: • what you can do to turn off your 'survival switch'; • what humans have in common with hibernating bears, sperm whales, and the fattest bird in the world; • why the foods we eat cause the body to produce its own fructose; • how salt and dehydration affect fat accumulation. Nature wants us to be fat. And when we understand why, we gain the tools necessary to turn off survival mode and stop unhealthy weight gain.
