Food Isn’t Medicine

Product Information

I had NO idea where to start with sorting out what to believe and what to discard, and this book was the perfect starting place for that. If they cite a study as evidence, make sure that the study was done in humans, that the sample size was large and that it was published in a legitimate journal.

Although that concept has largely fallen by the wayside, the food-is-medicine philosophy brings us back to the disease-as-punishment mindset.The only weight I truly needed to lose was the weight of fat stigma, diet culture, calorie obsession.

We asked if she should look at her diet – but their advice was no, as long as she was eating a sensible, varied diet.Dr Wolrich is one of those people, as are people like Martin Macdonald, Ben Carpenter, and Pixie Turner. To be sure, what we eat today can have small, subtle influences on health, but they become powerful when repeated over the lifespan. I particularly love how he is 100% clear that a person's size is NOT indicative of their health status, for many reasons. No, no and absolutely not – NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to set the record straight. Gleich zu Beginn des Buches war ich gefesselt, eines der besten Argumente die er gleich zu Beginn bringt, ist dass die meisten Diätenbücher und -mythen von Ärzten kommen.

Dat het ketodieet en (in mindere mate) intermittent fasting nonsens zijn had ik al wel door, maar het doet me plezier dat ik nu ook weet wat het precies inhoudt en wat er allemaal juist fout mee is.With authoritative, practical and inspirational advice from respected authors such as Oliver James, Tim Ferris, Gina Ford, Dr Atkins, Edward de Bono, Dr Phil McGraw, Lynda Field and Judi James, Vermilion books really change lives. The book title itself is a bit misleading, as is the way he exaggerates the use of the "food is medicine" cliché. For example, in his response to the claim that "vegetable oils are toxic" the author shortly replies in saying that some of the components of vegetable oils are omega 6 and omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are proved to be beneficial in brain and heart health, and mentions the positive health effects of canola oil and fish oil (not even a vegetable oil), that both contain these fats. It's all what Dr Joshua Wolrich defines as 'nutribollocks' and he is on a mission to set the record straight. Das Buch schafft es, dass man sich langsam in seiner eigenen Haut etwas wohler fühlt, auch wenn man jahrelang schon kämpft, denn er erklärt mehrmals wo die Probleme liegen.
