The Full-Body Fat Fix: The Science-Based 7-Day Plan to Cool Inflammation, Heal Your Gut, and Build a Healthier, Leaner You!

by Stephen Perrine Narrated by Dr. Roshini Raj, Stephen Perrine

Overview

This program is read by the author with a foreword written and read by Dr. Roshini Raj. Delicious recipes are included throughout and in a recipe index for easy navigation for listeners.

Discover a groundbreaking new way of eating that can reverse inflammation, heal your gut, and improve your overall health, fitness and athletic performance-in just one week-while setting you on the path to easy, sustainable weight loss for life!

Journalist and bestselling author Stephen Perrine reveals how in his intensely researched, yet simple and engaging new book, The Full-Body Fat Fix. With a unique blend of humor and science, Perrine explains how chronic inflammation and an unhealthy microbiome are the underlying causes of weight gain, and how classic “dieting” strategies-like cutting calories, eliminating certain foods or only eating during specific times-actually undermine our weight-loss goals.

The new science of weight management is more exciting and delicious than we ever imagined. Simply by eating a greater variety of plant-based foods-at least 30 different plants each week, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, seeds, nuts, herbs and legumes-and not getting stuck with the same old “healthy” foods again and again, science shows we can bring healing back to our guts, turn off the mechanisms that cause inflammation and reduce our risk of obesity and its related diseases.

In Perrine's hands, this trick is as easy as it is delicious, starting with “The Fire Fightin' Five,” a yummy combination of five meals and snacks (including pizza!) that will give you 30 unique plants-effortlessly! And with his 7-Day Challenge, you'll be able to track and maximize your dietary goals-and make a game out of healthy eating and weight loss. (How many different plants can you eat? Can you squeeze in more than your friends and family?) To make it even easier, dozens of recipes populate the book, each one as enticing as the next.

Weight loss has never been as fun, as delicious, or as easy to enjoy.

In his newest book, Perrine (The Whole Body Reset), cocreator of the "Eat This, Not That!" series, blames inflammation for making people feel bloated, sick, fatigued, and more. He asserts that if readers work on reversing their body's inflammation, they will gain benefits such as a boosted metabolism (even while eating more), better sleep, and improved concentration. Perrine uses current science-based gut-healing approaches to support his argument. The best parts of the book are Perrine's actionable tips for building plant-forward meals at fast-food restaurants. He discusses nutritional fundamentals too (including the very basics, like eating fewer processed foods), but readers drawn to this book will most likely find that few points here are truly new. The book often moves from its stated principles to a mindset of restriction—limiting whole grains to one serving per day, for example—without tailoring the plan to people of all sizes or taking into account their levels of activity and movement each week. If readers can wade through the book's jargon, there is helpful information about how food impacts sleep, digestion, and muscle development. VERDICT This book provides sound advice about eating more plants, avoiding processed foods, and adopting other health-promoting behaviors, but it doesn't offer a lot of new information.—Emily Bowles
