Product Description
Based on more than two decades of research, Eat Fat, Lose Fat flouts conventional wisdom by revealing that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as corn and soybean) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crisis, while the saturated fats traditionally considered "harmful" (from such foods as coconut, butter, and meat) are essential to weight loss and health. Just in time for the FDA’s new mandatory trans fats labeling, the three programs in this book, which features delicious recipes, show that eating healthy fats is the answer to losing weight and achieving good health for a lifetime.

I was afraid to eat fats until I read this book. The authors make a good case that low fat is just a marketing ploy, and that coconut oil, butter and other healthy fats are actually what we need to lose weight.This is certainly a book that makes one take a careful look at one's eating practices. This book shows fat from an objective point of view. I learn a lot about health and nutrition these books so I hope you can also learn from them: Arthritis: The Cure: The Last Book You'Ll Ever Need On Arthritis Dare To Be Healthy: The Light of Physical Regeneration Delicious, Healthy And Easy - Tom's Vegetarian Cookbook: Easy Yummy And Nutritional Vegan Recipes Eating For Youth And Beauty Here's How To Be Healthy

Awful writing and shoddy science by Secret Santa

1 Stars
August 21, 2009
Unfortunately, this book contains so much poorly thought out, and poorly explained, information that I'm frankly not sure where to begin. I won't even get into the grammatical problems. Some of the advice, admittedly, is fairly sound, but I'd strongly recommend getting it from a more carefully written book.

Too much coconut by Em Shaw

3 Stars
August 11, 2009
This book makes many interesting claims. Two that stand out to me are 1) Science/Gov't have directed the population to the wrong types of fats, and these are making us sick, and 2) obesity may be more linked to a lack of nutrients in our overly processed foods than to willpower. These, and the many other intriguing claims made in this book, are worthy of more research, for I don't believe the book provides enough substantiation. Further, I don't think I could eat coconut at every meal. Just reading through the daily menus made me lose my appetite. It feels like eating the same thing over and over and over again, and I found myself scanning the pages looking for something that didn't add coconut. In addition, Coconut is not locally grown. Sources seem to mostly come from the Phillipines or far, far away (i.e. the tropics). Doesn't this contribute to the petroleum use (i.e. shipping) we are trying so hard to avoid? Still, I like the book. Full Moon Feast by Jessica Prentice is a book of the same genre that provides no weight loss regiment, but definitely turns the reader on to traditional foods.
