The Power Foods Diet

Fat is out and carbs are in with Dr. Neal Barnard's new diet and plan, which offers an evidence-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kickstarting weight loss and maintaining it. Weight loss is a top health concern, leading many to seek effective and permanent solutions. It turns out that certain properly chosen foods can promote weight loss without the deprivation and planning typical of most weight-loss regimens. In his next book, leading nutrition researcher Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three research-supported breakthroughs:

1. Certain foods can reduce appetite.
2. Some foods trap calories so they are flushed away and not absorbed.
3. Certain foods increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.

These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, eliminating the need for calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat rather than stop eating. Dr. Barnard also points out that some foods commonly considered healthy, such as salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, can actually be harmful as they easily convert to body fat. To simplify the process, Dr. Barnard includes a straightforward meal plan featuring delicious and even indulgent recipes that incorporate foods often avoided, like potatoes and pasta, allowing you to enjoy real food while still losing real weight.
