Eat Rich, Live Long: Use the Power of Low-Carb and Keto for Weight Loss

Very informative!!!Book arrived fast and in like new condition

The author has been very precise in explaining the benefits of low carb diet.The recipes at last are very handy.

I think this book provides excellent advice. I have that opinion because in one book it contains a summary and expansion on good, accurate, improved dietary advice and the history of why we have been given bad advice for so long based on flawed research, forceful personalities, and suppressed / ignored research that disagreed with the so-called "experts" that I have read about in many other books over the past couple of years. Books by; Gary Taubes, John Yudkin, Robert Lustig, Jason Fung, Nina Teicholz, Timothy Noakes, and several others. And this book mostly agrees with those books and condenses the information into one volume.In fact I liked this book so much I have purchased three copies thus far. One filled with my notes, one to loan to friends, one donated to my local library. And may purchase one more. The book does use a lot of acronyms, and list various units for blood test with no explanation of what they mean. mmol/L or mg/dL for example, and how to convert the numbers between the two. The first is mostly used in Europe, the latter in the USA. An acronym list and unit of measure list addition to the book would have been useful as you can lose track from chapter to chapter what an acronym meant. With several re-reading you may finally remember what MIRS or HOMA means.I am only uncertain about one bit of advice given in the book. (And in the video Widowmaker) ;The advice to have a CAC, coronary artery calcium scan done to find your CAS Score. I have been a radiation worker for forty years, six years with nuclear reactors, and 34 years working on diagnostic imaging equipment, X-ray machines. X-rays are not harmless, the more people who receive more exposure than absolutely necessary the more people who may suffer health issues caused by the radiation exposure.The general rule that has been followed for decades has been to allow the whole society to benefit from the good things ionizing radiation provides society by minimizing average excess radiation exposure to the general public. Higher radiation exposure is permitted for radiation workers, at the risk they will have a higher probability of getting cancer, and extra steps were to be taken to lower exposure to everyone else. That last part is violated by having higher numbers of people exposed to radiation that they need not be exposed to.Years ago when breast cancer was a hot topic, many hospitals advocated women have mammogram x-ray exams done, but studies believed there was a chance the x-ray exposures from the mammogram exams might cause more breast cancers than the exam finds. In healthcare these kind of things, for drugs or radiation exposure medical exams etc., are rated by NNT, Numbers Needed to be Treated, iow how many people needed to be treated by a drug to help one person. For example I think the NNT for the cholesterol statin drugs is 104, only 1 person in 104 is helped by taking a statin drug. Within that group several instead of being helped will suffer from the negative side effects. That number is calculated by the NNH, Number Needed to be Harmed. [do an internet search for NNT for statins and NNH for statins] Besides we now know high LDL cholesterol is not a real concern, and it should have never been declared as 'bad cholesterol', nor should we have been sent charging down the path to eat low health fats, or low dietary cholesterol foods. Medicine and the food industry have for various reason, good and bad, paved the way going in the wrong direction to find better health.Anyway, I think the rule to keep radiation exposure as low as possible to the general public is also violated by the x-ray exposes in security machines used at airports. A bad idea. A CAC score may not be as essential as advocated. If your triglyceride/HDL is high, and your total cholesterol/ HDL is high, you already know you need to do something to improve those numbers, and those changes would also slow or reverse the trend in your CAC Score.They write in the book about the work done by Dr Joseph Kraft, in finding at an earlier stage if you are IR, insulin resistant. That more people than suspected are IR and suffering harm from it. Not written about in the book (that I recall) is where to do a test that may be as important or more important than the CAC scan is to have a Kraft blood spot glucose tolerance insulin resistance test done. Do an internet search for - Kraft BS GTIR test. This test is done by Meridian Valley Labs in Calif. (perhaps other places too) Cost about $200. They mail you the kit, follow the directions, either yourself or assisted by your local clinic, mail the kit back. Get your test results back in a week or so. Also you can look for MValleyLab youtube channel to learn more, or visit their website.Two and a half years ago by chance I discovered Dr Bert Herring's advice about Fast 5 diet, intermittent fasting. I've lost 40 lbs. Mostly do OMAD, Feel better physically and mentally, have cut way back on sugary highly refined carb foods, and the use of vegetable / seed oils or eating foods in restaurants that use them. Eat a healthier diet. And have read a large stack of books about the history of why we have been given bad dietary advice for so long [look at any graph showing the rate of increase of people being overweight or obese or increase in people with T2DM and the rapid increase started in the early 1980s. Probably due to bad advice, plus many other factors too]Eat Rich Live Long summarizes and updates the information found in those books with the latest thinking about diet as health preserver or destroyer. Reading and following their advice may help you too. Though I never give any expert full faith. Read it, try it out yourself, find out first hand if it works for you. My bet is most of you will find it does.

No es otra dieta. Use la evidencia para establecer una plataforma firme para los cambios en su estilo de vida. Es realmente bueno saber que no cambias tus hábitos en vano. ¿Lo positivo? Una salud mucho mejor.

Very crisp and simple style of writing. Every one must read this book to fix their diet and improve their health
