In today’s youth-obsessed culture, mixed messages about diet, exercise, and skincare are everywhere. But one thing is clear: fat is always the enemy. Right? Wrong, says James R. Lyons, M.D. Contrary to popular belief, fat is the key to a youthful looking face and body. But it has to be the right kind of fat. There is an unhealthy (yellow) fat that makes us look old, and there is a healthy (brown) fat that is firm, resilient and gives our bodies a youthful appearance. Lose The Fat, Lose The Years will be the first book on this artificial brown fat, revealing how it makes the body look younger and healthier, and how you can change yellow fat into brown by providing a specifically tailored and realistic program that includes: a four-week eating plan that alternates carbohydrates and proteins, keeping blood sugar at an even keel to avoid fat production; and a monthly exercise routine centred on weights and bungee cords - not cardio - keeping metabolism up continuously (not temporarily, as cardio does) to burn more fat. Revolutionary in concept, Lose The Fat, Lose The Years will change the way we think about fat and will show us how to harness its power for a healthier, leaner - and younger - body.
