A New York Times bestseller for over a year, Protein Power sparked provocative debate with its assertion that our mainly carbohydrate-based diet--and not one rich in protein--is responsible for rampant obesity and heart disease among Americans. Now the authors of this exciting guide expand both their theory and their nutritional program, and show how The Protein Power Lifeplan can combat diabetes, high blood pressure, auto-immune disorder, and more. Whether you're a Protein Power veteran looking to fine-tune your dietary lifestyle or increase your success, or a newcomer to the plan, astonishing health benefits can be yours with...

The Protein Power Lifeplan

Good health is our birthright. Contrary to popular belief, our bodies were designed by nature to metabolize and thrive on protein and fat, and simply weren't built to handle today's typical diet of carbohydrates and processed foods. The authors have linked the rise in disease to our increasing reliance on the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet that first appeared at the dinner table relatively late in human history. The keys to good health can be found by understanding how we evolved and by eating a diet typical of our ancestors', rich in protein and good fats and full of fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant and cancer-fighting abilities. The Protein Power Lifeplan offers:

A Three-Tiered Nutrition Plan designed for your level of commitment: the Hedonist, the Dilettante, or the Purist
The latest findings on Insulin Resistance: what it is, how to correct it, and why, once it is corrected, you will lose weight and avoid health problems associated with it
Important information on supplements: vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, chromium, and coenzyme Q10
Tips for obtaining the optimum health benefits of natural sunlight
A look at the dangers of excess iron storage and how to determine if it is a problem for you
A primer on fat: learn which good-quality fats can reduce elevated cholesterol, lower triglycerides, and reduce the risk of heart disease--without medication

Meal plans, recipes, kitchen stocking advice, and more. The Protein Power Lifeplan gives you a blueprint for not only losing weight and feeling fit, but one designed to restore your body's innate systematic approach to good health. Comprehensive, thorough, and written for results, this book will help you look and feel better than you ever have in your life.
