What foods to put on your table so you don't end up on mineFor the past century, we've been bombarded with diet ads and advice from gurus and governments. Yet heart disease remains the #1 killer worldwide, and 88% of adults are metabolically unhealthy. Up to 95% of dieters gain back all the weight they lost while following both dietary guidelines and popular fitness fads.Here's why they fail.Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These "solutions" do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you.Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, Dr. Philip Ovadia has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open heart surgeries he has performed--metabolic health.What you eat determines how long and how well you live. Yet most doctors don't learn that in medical school. And pharmaceutical companies and food manufacturers have a vested interest in the public not knowing how to live and eat metabolically healthy.In Stay off My Operating Table, Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic health system to prevent disease and optimize your health, a system that the diet and drug industries don't want you to know about. Unlike quick-fix, "7-day," radical diets, Dr. Ovadia's approach is a sustainable, long-term solution that works. This book teaches:How most leading causes of death are rooted in metabolic diseaseHow to measure and improve your metabolic health, from a doctor's perspectiveHow to eliminate your need for most supplements with a nutritionally complete dietHow to eat metabolically healthy on any diet, from carnivore to veganHow light, everyday exercises benefit you more than brutal workoutsHow metabolic health holds the answer to most health, food, and fitness questionsWhether you've suffered from chronic diseases or want to prevent them decades from now, Stay off My Operating Table will help you take back control of your health from the institutions and experts that have failed you.A doctor's nutrition system to prevent and reverse disease -- amazon.com.
