From the publisher

Make Peace With Fat challenges the reader to look at food and nutrition science through the ancestral eye. Eating in a similar way to how our ancestors did including foods that are whole, local, seasonal, random, and scarce, and eliminating not only processed carbohydrates but also foods like grains, starches, and legumes and replacing those with natural fats like avocados, butter, coconut oil, olives, and meat with its own natural fat has been shown to reverse chronic disease, support weight loss, reduce inflammation, heal the gut, reset hunger, and maximize mental and physical performance. Looking at the latest nutrition studies while reflecting back on ancestral living and eating, Dr. Telecan, makes a compelling case against our current modern eating, which is heavily based on processed foods loaded with sugar and vegetable oils. It also overemphasizes carbohydrates as a food group and promotes low-fat, fat-free products, while restricting calories as healthy. A well-designed low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet has been associated with benefits including: - Weight loss and appetite control (total hunger reset) - Blood sugar management in prediabetics and type 2 diabetics - Reversal of metabolic traits associated with metabolic syndrome - Reduction in inflammation and pain, including migraine headaches - Increased and sustainable energy throughout the day - Improved sleep - Reduction in gut inflammation Make Peace With Fat is a book that engages both the mind and heart since the author's main goal is to help anyone interested in changing his/her lifestyle to becoming a healthier, stronger and more motivated person than ever. By sharing her good practice examples, recipes and a practical approach to a high-fat, low-carb nutrition, Dr. Telecan manages to inspire the readers to break their own limits, especially limiting beliefs around food.
