(10/03/03) Dr. Sears’ newest book Toxic Fat explains why
“If you’re fat, it’s not your fault”
Another revolutionary book by the author of the #1 New York Time bestseller, “The Zone,” and founder of MedWell Foods
New
York – Dr. Barry Sears, author of the just released Toxic Fat, says,
“If you’re fat, it’s not your fault. Being overweight isn’t due to a
lack of willpower; the problem lies in your genes.”
Dr. Sears
says, “Once you understand obesity from the perspective of being
similar to a cancer, you begin to realize why ‘eating less and
exercising more’ may never work for permanent weight loss.”
Dr.
Sears first made international news with his breakthrough New York
Times #1 bestseller, The Zone, in which he laid out how a dietary
balance of protein, carbohydrate and fat can alter the hormonal
responses that control inflammation.
Now in Toxic Fat he shows
how our current pro-inflammatory diet has caused the activation of a
“fat trap” in genetically predisposed individuals, while at the same
time increasing hunger by changing levels of hormones in the brain that
now override normal appetite suppression.
“Losing weight and
keeping it off requires rebalancing of hormonal signals in the brain.
These signals have been radically altered by recent changes in the
American diet induced by governmental agricultural policies started in
the 1970s,” Dr. Sears said. “We need to look at foods we eat as
powerful drugs that can either reduce inflammation or increase it.”
Dr.
Sears also demonstrates that the reduction of inflammation can be as
simple as 1-2-3. That is for every one gram of fat, you should consume
two grams of protein, and three grams of carbohydrates; and you have to
do it the best you can at every meal.
This is why Dr. Sears
founded MedWell Foods, offering healthy comfort foods people like to
eat, including pasta, pastries, bagels, bread and cookies, each with a
1-2-3 composition coupled with great taste. Toxic fat is the
underlying cause of increased inflammation, and thus MedWell Foods can
help provide a dietary solution that is easily incorporated into
everyone’s current dietary habits. More information on MedWell can be

Toxic Fat describes the Perfect
Nutritional Storm that has given rise to our current obesity epidemic
while at the same time presenting a realistic way out of America’s
obesity epidemic driven by inflammation that threatens the nation’s
health care system. A synopsis of Toxic Fat can be found online at
