Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based Way to Health

What if one simple change could save you from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer? For decades, that question has fascinated a small circle of impassioned doctors and researchers—and now, their life-changing research is making headlines in the hit documentary Forks Over Knives.

Their answer? Eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet—it could save your life. It may overturn most of the diet advice you’ve heard—but the experts behind Forks Over Knives aren't afraid to make waves. In his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn explained that eating meat, dairy, and oils injures the lining of our blood vessels, causing heart disease, heart attack, or stroke.

In The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell revealed how cancer and other diseases skyrocket when eating meat and dairy is the norm—and plummet when a traditional plant-based diet persists. And more and more experts are adding their voices to the cause: There is nothing else you can do for your health that can match the benefits of a plant-based diet.

Now, as Forks Over Knives is introducing more people than ever before to the plant-based way to health, this accessible guide provides the information you need to adopt and maintain a plant-based diet. Features include:

  • Insights from the luminaries behind the film—Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. John McDougall, The Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn, and many others
  • Success stories from converts to plant-based eating—like San’Dera Prude, who no longer needs to medicate her diabetes, has lost weight, and feels great!
  • The many benefits of a whole-foods, plant-based diet—for you, for animals and the environment, and for our future
  • A helpful primer on crafting a healthy diet rich in unprocessed fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, including tips on transitioning and essential kitchen tools
  • 125 recipes from 25 champions of plant-based dining—from Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins and Sunny Orange Yam Bisque to Garlic Rosemary Polenta and Raspberry-Pear Crisp—delicious, healthy, and for every meal, every day.

Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health

William Davis

A renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems.
Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100
million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls “wheat bellies.” According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It’s due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch.
After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—
and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the
American public as “wheat”—and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle.
Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who
have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, Wheat
Belly
is an illuminating look at what is truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient.

The Perfect 10 Diet: 10 Key Hormones That Hold the Secret to Losing Weight and Feeling Great-Fast!

Michael Aziz

Lose up to 14 Lbs in 21 days!

Doctor Designed, Easy to Follow, Proven Success

The latest medical research shows hormones are the key to weight loss. Your hormones control how your body uses the foods you eat, whether it's used for energy or stored as fat. The Perfect 10 Diet balances these key hormones so you:

* Lose weight fast without going hungry (hunger wrecks diets)
* Have more energy!
* Start to lose weight without exercising (up to 80 pounds)
* Reverse the aging process and look younger for life

What Doctors Are Saying About The Perfect 10 Diet

"The Perfect 10 Diet program finally answers many of the questions that you have always wanted to know about weight loss. If weight loss was just a problem of calories in and calories out, everyone would be the weight they want to be. Congratulations to Dr. Michael Aziz for bring us this informative book on answers to one of the biggest medical problems of our time."
—Pamela W. Smith, M.D., MPH
Director Masters Program in Medical Science with a Concentration in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine, University of South Florida School of Medicine

" A must read. Dr. Aziz addresses how food interacts with hormones in this amazing book."
—Keith Berkowitz | MD, former director of the Atkins Center

" Filled with insightful science, presented in an accessible manner, to help you take action now."
—Ronald Klatz | MD, DO, president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

The Breakthrough Diet That Gets Real-Life Results

Because The Perfect 10 Diet works with your hormones, people see results fast—up to 14 pounds in the first 21 days.

Other diet fads, whether they are low-fat or low-carb, wreak havoc on your hormones, which is why these diets are hard to stay on and the weight comes back the moment you stop.

Dr. Michael Aziz has personally worked with more than a thousand patients who lost an average of 10-14 pounds in the first three weeks on the diet, and who also showed remarkable improvement in the markers for heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes and more. Their overall health improved significantly. And they did it all while eating great food, feeling full after their meals and having more energy!

Below are just a few of the real-life results people have had on The Perfect 10 Diet:

SHARON: Sharon weighed 264 pounds despite a twenty-one-year struggle to control her weight through more than her share of low-fat, low-carb and fad diets.  Within two years of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Sharon lost 132 pounds by giving up the "fake" foods she thought were healthy. Better still, she has kept the weight off and enjoys increased energy and confidence.
 
MARK: Thirty-five-year-old Mark weighed 260 pounds at 5'9", with a high 40 percent body fat reading. He suffered from severe headaches, was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure.   Mark lost 90 pounds in 10 months on The Perfect 10 Diet.  His headaches were gone, and his insulin, blood pressure, and body fat were all at normal levels—plus, he has never felt better in his life.

MARY: Mary had gone from a size four to a size twelve in two years' time, weighing 160 pounds at 5'4". Despite a low-fat diet, she struggled with high cholesterol. Within 3 months of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Mary lost 23 pounds and lowered her cholesterol to a normal level by doing exactly what she always thought she shouldn't—increasing her fat intake in conjunction with eliminating refined and processed foods.

And these are just a few of the people whose lives have been changed through The Perfect 10 Diet. Here are a few more:

"I went from a size 24 to a 6, and I love it!"
—Nancy A.

"I have lost seventy pounds on The Perfect 10 Diet in sixteen months and my fasting insulin level has dropped from 40 to 4. The Perfect 10 Diet allows me to eat more fat from butter, coconut, and avocados, which I avoided for years believing they were bad for my cholesterol. Who could ask for anything more? Nothing tastes as good as thin feels."
—Julie

"Eat anywhere, eat healthy meals, and enjoy the food I love? How easy is that?"
—Carol Z.

"At age 50, I feel like I'm 20 again."
—Ted S.

Today, medical research has a much better understanding of how hormones affect weight. By balancing your hormones with the right food choices you can not only start losing weight fast but you can make an enormous difference in your life or in the life of someone you love.

The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health

T. Colin Campbell, Thomas M. Campbell II

Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

The Book of Tea

Kakuzo Okakura

This enchanting 1906 work introduced the West to the art of the Japanese national drink through the philosophy of "teaism" as an aesthetic that permeates Japanese thinking and ritual. From "tea ideals" to the serenity of the tearoom, from the beverage's influence on Zen and Taoist concepts to its infusion in the ceremony of flower arranging, this is an essential introduction not merely to a drink but to an entire way of life. It will delight tea lovers and students of Japanese culture alike. Japanese scholar and writer KAKUZO OKAKURA (1863-1913) helped spread interest in Asian art and culture to the Western world. He is also the author of Ideals of the East (1883).
