Increase your metabolism with a plant-based diet to prevent, improve or cure hea
rt disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease and the epidemic of ch
ronic illnesses. Joan Borysenko, PhD, a Harvard-trained cell biologist, health p
sychologist and New York Times bestselling author, cuts through the thicket of c
onfusing - and often downright wrong - advice on nutrition. She provides easy-to
-digest, bite-sized servings of the scientific information that you (and your do
ctor) need in order to discover the precise diet required for your body to thriv
e.
Once you understand what to eat and why, she lays out a simple diet plan c
alled PlantPlus that is customizable for everyone: vegans, vegetarians and the G
reat Omnivorous Majority. A whole plant-based diet is the basis for a diet to in
crease your metabolism. The Plus might be dairy, eggs, animal protein or in some
cases small servings of whole grains for those whose metabolism allows it.
T
he diet is delicious; the recipes from the kitchen of Joan and her husband, Gord
ie, are simple to prepare; and you won't go lacking for dark chocolate, low-carb
desserts or red wine if you can safely drink it. Dr Joan Borysenko, the Diet Sl
euth, is a warm, witty and wise lifestyle coach who has thrilled audiences natio
nwide with her deep understanding of mind and body.
