The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan is an amazingly simple and medically sound program that will help you lose weight and keep it off, dramatically improve your overall health, and fortifying your body against diseases--with delicious and satisfying foods you can have anytime, anywhere. Medical research proves that there's only one way to safely and permanently lose weight: eat less fat and more fiber. Bestselling authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D., and Barry Fox, Ph.D., show you how this simple, practical, life-changing program of delicious low-fat, fiber-rich foods not only aids in weight loss, but also lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and many forms of cancer. The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan gives you all the tools you'll need, including: A handy keychain counter to help you track your daily intake of fat and fiber grams Over 100 delicious high-fiber, low-fat recipes A list of over 5,000 food products with their fat and fiber gram counts, coded to let you know at a glance what you can eat freely, what you can enjoy less often, and what you should avoid. The average American eats the fat equivalent of a cup of butter each day, and it's easy to convert this dietary fat to body fat (the saying "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips" isn't so farfetched after all). This is probably why one in three adults in this country is obese. But authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D., and Barry Fox, Ph.D. (coauthor of the bestselling Arthritis Cure) say that focusing on cutting the fat out of your diet is not the right way to lose weight, as a drastically low-fat diet almost always leads to late-day bingeing. By increasing dietary fiber to 30 grams a day (with beans, whole grains, and vegetables), and by moderately cutting fat intake to 20 grams, they say that permanent weight loss can be achieved-- without painful hunger pangs, headaches, or petulant fits of rage that threaten your long-term relationships. This is the very diet that TV talk-show host Larry King credits with saving ...

Some 750,000 people have bariatric surgery every year -- this book offers comprehensive information on obesity, weight loss procedures and dietary strategies. Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to help people decrease their food intake and change the way their body handles food -- the result being significant weight loss. This comprehensive book provides information on the many procedures that are currently available in North America, from the widely known Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (LAGB) to Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (gastric bypass). As importantly, it looks at the causes of obesity, obesity-related problems and standard treatments. All the risks and benefits associated with the surgery are examined, including recovery, potential long-term problems and risks, and measures of success. Because diet, portion size and lifestyle are integral to ensuring a successful surgical outcome, the second component of the book provides the resources for healthy eating, nutrition, supplements and making positive changes in lifestyle. To further ensure success, 150 recipes have been included that have been specially created with weight-loss patients in mind. Not only are they delicious, but they are nutritionally sound and designed to accommodate the techniques and diet stages required after surgery. This book is ideal for anyone considering weight loss surgery, who has had the surgery or who is looking for a dietary and lifestyle program/strategies that have been created specifically to meet these unique requirements.
