Popular nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: Eat fat to burn fat. In Primal Fat Burner, she explains the benefits and science behind a ketogenic (or fat-burning) diet, which switches your metabolism from a dependence on sugar to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years refute the long-promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now, "with able, funny writing" (Booklist), Gedgaudas explains the science that fat isn't always a bad thing—if you know the right kinds of fats to eat. In her comprehensible, enjoyable style, she also lays out a practical meal plan with recipes.
Author of the bestselling Grain Brain, Dr. David Perlmutter writes in his foreword that Primal Fat Burner is, "Wonderfully actionable, compassionately taking the reader from 'why' to 'how.'" On this diet, you efficiently and effectively metabolize fat (ketones and free fatty acids) as your primary source of fuel, rather than glucose from carbs, starches, and sugars. Because fat is so satisfying, you naturally wind up eating less—without feelings of hunger or deprivation. And natural dietary fat is ultimately the key to feeling better, looking better, thinking clearer, and living longer. Discover all this and more healthy tips in one of the most groundbreaking nutritional books in recent time.

Gedgaudas, nutritional consultant and author of Primal Body, Primal Mind (2011), spent a summer researching wolves in the Canadian Arctic, and all but accidentally experienced transformative effects of the fat-based diet she survived on there. Her text- and nutrional-science-heavy book is for readers interested in both the how and the why of the Paleo diet, which is high in fat and non-GMO vegetables, and includes measured amounts of grass-fed, organic protein. Modern humans' Paleolithic ancestors, Gedgaudas' research shows, survived by eating calorie-rich fat, and humans today are fat burners at birth, powered by the ketones, energy units derived from eating fat, found in breast milk. Contemporary diets, however, have trained us to treat glucose from carbohydrates and sugar as our main fuel, Gedgaudas argues, and this may be responsible for a host of modern illnesses. With able, funny writing; dozens of recipes; digressive but interesting boxed sections within chapters; and a note to readers to seek ultimate advice from their doctors, Gedgaudas lays out a plan for adopting a ketogenic diet for improved health and wellness.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
