Book Reviews of Toxic Fat: When Good Fat Turns Bad

Book Review: The missing link
Summary: 5 Stars

I've got pretty much every book Barry Sears ever wrote. So I know about the Zone diet, the physiology of it (insulin, eicosanoids, etc.), all those things he's been breaking ground with for years. Although I revere the man (he's never gotten enough credit for developing his diet and all the truly useful science he's made available to us laypeople, a fact that annoys me intensely), there are a few of his books that I was kind of sorry I bought because they seemed essentially to be repackaged older books. Other people have made that comment, too, and rightly so. But not this book.

All my life I have been a "junk food junkie", and it has hampered my success with any diet regimen I've ever undertaken, including the Zone. The science outlined in Sear's older work made it plain to me why I use food to self-medicate, but that information could also be found in other places. However, as I've gotten older the cravings have gotten worse and it's become increasingly difficult to control them. In this book Sears takes the information in his old books and synthesizes it into something essentially new, and even more informative. He fills in the gaps for people like me who have the almost uncontrollable urge to eat and have always wondered why.

I don't usually write reviews but I'm only on page 39 and had to stop and do it. This book is already a revelation to me and I highly recommend it.

Summary of Toxic Fat: When Good Fat Turns Bad

Toxic Fat: When Good Fat Turns Bad, provides a revolutionary new understanding of our current obesity epidemic by showing that it can be viewed as a form of cancer to be treated using the clinically proven pathway to change the expression of your genes using food as a drug to rid your body of toxic fat.

For many of us, one of the first signs of toxic fat is the accumulation of excess body fat. In fact, obesity can be viewed as a form of "cancer" that is driven by toxic fat. However, only when this toxic fat begins to spread into the bloodstream does it begin to attack your other organs leading to early development of chronic disease. This is why some people can be overweight and be quite healthy, while others can be of normal weight and be quite sick. What ultimately determines your state of wellness is not your weight but the levels of toxic fat in your blood. This book changes forever how we look at the fat on our body and its impact on the future of health care in America.
