A Doctor's Self-DiscoveryLike most doctors, Peter Brukner was trained to believe that drugs and surgery are the answers to all medical problems - including the epidemics of obesity, diabetes and other 'modern illnesses' that are threatening our healthcare system and the life expectancy of future generations.For years he was dismissive of any 'alternative' diets or lifestyle changes.Results that Speak for ThemselvesFacing the double threat of obesity and diabetes himself, his research led to a shocking realisation that overturned a lot of the medical 'truth' he'd taken for granted: our dietary guidelines and food pyramid have no scientific basis. So he switched to a low-carb, healthy-fat lifestyle ... and dropped 13 kilos, lowered his insulin levels and drastically improved his liver function in just three months.Your Toolkit for ChangeFull of insightful chapters and practical tips, A Fat Lot of Good equips you with the knowledge and tools you need to reclaim your health and redefine your relationship with food, exercise, and lifestyle.> The Real Culprits: Why we're all getting fatter and less healthy> Nutritional Basics: The lowdown on carbs, fats, and proteins> Debunking Health Myths: A critical look at fat, sugar, cholesterol, calories, and salt> Gut Instincts: What you need to know about insulin, inflammation and the gut microbiome> The Golden Rules: Dr Brukner's Five Golden Rules for a healthy lifestyle> Label Literacy: Tips on reading food labels, making smart choices and buying real food on a budgetThe Ultimate Guide to a Healthier YouNot just a diet plan, but a holistic approach to living.
