Book Review: Primal Fat Burner

Healthy fats have been making a comeback. The author presents an evolutionary perspective on the benefits of a fat-based diet with modern science to back it up.

The basics boil down to a ketogenic plan: eliminate sugar and starch, consume moderate protein based on a formula, eat quality fats for satiety, eat fibrous vegetables and greens, and procure the best-quality food you can find and afford. I didn't find the meal plan or recipes that inspiring or helpful, but the rest of the book is excellent.

Book Review: The Big FAT Surprise

This well-researched book will inform and educate you about why we face the crisis of obesity today, why we have dutifully followed the nutritional dogma, and how healthy fats can make it better. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who questions the benefits of fat in their diet--and also vegetable oils, cholesterol, and the Mediterranean diet.
