The Power Foods Diet
The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss
Description
Dr. Neal Barnard’s new diet and plan offers an evidence-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kickstarting weight loss and keeping it off.
Eat These Foods, Lose the Weight
Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.
In his next book, leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:
1. can reduce the appetite
2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,
3. increase the body’s ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.
These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat…and often overstay their welcome.
To make it easy, Dr. Barnard will include a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

"Neal Barnard has done it again! In a field littered with manufactured controversy he has brought simplicity and eloquence to the fundamentals of weight loss nutrition. The same foods reduce appetite, trap calories, burn more energy and allow the body to function at a healthier baseline. You would not believe it unless you tried it…or read the research!"
—Jamie Kane, MD, Director, Northwell Health Center for Weight Management, Chief, Section of Obesity Medicine, Associate Professor of Medicine, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, Hempstead, NY
"Weight management and obesity are top of mind in medical and public circles in current times. All too often, solutions are centered on appetite suppressing drugs or restrictive diets. In either case, the joy of delicious food is sadly left behind. By explaining how foods can have appetite-taming, calorie-trapping, and calorie-burning powers, Dr. Barnard shows how food as medicine fosters weight control and fights obesity. Readers will find delicious recipes and rediscover the joy of food."
