Strategies for Weight Loss and Improved Health

Check out a one-hour presentation, Strategies for Weight Loss and Improved Health, that I shared with the World Bank Group. The body is complex--affected by what you eat, when you eat, how much you eat, hormonal balance, and the interaction with the gut. We will attack the topic through a three-pronged approach: diet, behavior, and lifestyle. Tune in to see what strategies you can implement today to lose weight!

Book Review: The Fatburn Fix

Family physician Catherine Shanahan, MD, provides a plan to help reboot your fatburn potential. She explains how to restore your ability to burn body fat and how you can shift your metabolic health by following five core rules: eat natural fats, eat slow-digesting carb, seek salt, drink plenty of water, and supplement with vitamins and minerals.

There are three parts: Achieve Your True Health Potential, Meet Your Metabolism, and The Fatburn Fix Plan. I appreciate how the information is presented and generally agree that most people would find the plan doable. It might be appealing to the person who wants to slowly ease into low carb and not give up some of the higher carb foods like legumes and grains.

I would not recommend this book. Check out my full review on LinkedIn.
