Following the extraordinary success of Protein Power, The Protein Power Lifeplan reveals how this evolutionary-based, protein-rich diet can be used to treat major health problems, including high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension,heart disease, and obesity. The Eades offer recipes, motivational advice, and a refined and expanded nutritional and lifestyle regimen, including a three-tiered approach to eating. These plans, the Hedonist (some health change with minimal effort), the Dilettante (the most benefit from the least effort), and the Purist (maximal benefit from maximal effort) help readers optimize their health by offering a framework of change they can accept and live by forever. Protein Power has been phenomenally successful and has sold more than 150,000 hardcover copies (Bantam, 1996) and more than 1.2 million paperbacks (Bantam, 1/98). Its been on the New York Times bestseller list for 31 weeks and counting. The Protein Power Lifeplan goes beyond the diet program in Protein Power and provides a lifeplan that thousands of readers have requested to promote weight loss, prevent disease, and encourage optimal health of mind and body. In order to help readers, The Protein Power LifePlan Carbohydrate Counter will be published simultaneously as a companion book to the program. Also available as a Time Warner AudioBook. The authors of Protein Power are back to advocate the "protein-rich, moderate-fat, carbohydrate-restricted diet" that opposes the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet that every professional medical and dietetic organization (including those who have no diet books to sell) believes to be your best bet for avoiding heart disease, the number one killer. The authors insist, in the face of all this medical opposition, that "the whole idea that fat and cholesterol cause heart disease is just that: an idea." We're meant to be hunters, say the authors: bring on the meat. Let's go back to the Paleolithic diet (no mention of the brief life span of Paleolithic men and women). The Protein Power Lifeplan is no...
