Dr. William Li's debut book introduced a new, cutting-edge way to think about healthy food--by understanding how the body responds to foods that activate or damage five hardwired health defense systems: Angiogenesis, Regeneration, Microbiome, DNA Protection, and Immunity. Each of these system protects us against chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, autoimmune conditions, and more. Dr. Li also introduced us to over 200 foods that activate our natural defenses. Building on this groundbreaking work, Eat to Beat Your Diet addresses a topic that's of concern for many: weight loss. Dr. Li teaches us how to harness the five health defenses to address most people's #1 health goal, and provides reeducation and new information about our bodies and weight loss, such as the why behind intermittent fasting, the importance of a lean microbiome, and why the popular Keto diet can actually harm your health defense systems and lead to negative health outcomes. Rooted in science and study, Eat to Beat Your Diet also offers a simple and approachable 4-week plan, including a weeklong detox and 3-week weight loss protocol, which, Dr. Li promises, will help readers lose 10-20 pounds if followed correctly and combined with a healthy lifestyle--without sacrificing your enjoyment of food. Additionally, the book includes updated research regarding the use of supplements, and how sleep and exercise can help to defend the body against excess fat. There's new foods, new science, and new, better outcomes.
