Praise and reviews for Nora Gedgaudas and her book, Primal Fat Burner
Why read Nora’s Primal Fat Burner? Not just because it’s an honest, original and comprehensive revelation of the reasons why fats, and healthy animal fats in particular, are required for optimal health today (which they are), but they are in fact responsible for our becoming human. Unlike so many others who hold back, Nora explains the scientific and historical truth clearly so you can truly understand why you’d want to give yourself the gift of a Primal Fat Burning life – read her book, use it wisely, and you’ll never regret it.
In terms of nutritional knowledge, Ms. Gedgaudas is about a decade ahead of 99% of U.S. physicians, taught virtually zilch about healthful eating in medical school. Counterintuitive as it sounds, increasing your fat intake will promote weight loss. The real nutritonal villain is sugar (a fact kept hidden from us by the sugar industry!). The low carb-high fat diet described in ‘Primal Fat Burner’ protects people from obesity and heart disease. When it comes to making the overweight and chronically ill American healthy again, ‘Primal Fat Burner’ is destined to be a real game changer.
Primal Fat Burner is an amazing follow up to Primal Body Primal Mind. Nora does what most writers won’t do which is to truly answer the questions of those that want to know the answers. After originally reading PBPM I had loads of questions. Primal Fat Burner answers those questions. This book is full of incredible recipes, nutritional nuggets and an approach to Ketogenic dieting that will dispel the notion that Fat is bad. Get ready to clear your pantry of poison and find your paleo path in Primal Fat Burner today!
Nora Gedgaudas makes the unique case for the central role of fat and outlines a way of eating to dramatically improve health. Ketogenic eating plans are an important tool address the growing epideic of autoimmune disease.
Nora Gedgaudas was one of the early adopters of the low carbohydrate, high-fat science and diet. She not only understands the science very well, she is able to simply and accurately explain it to the lay reader and health professional alike. From some fine science to its application, this book has much to offer for someone just starting out and wanting to dip their toes in the low-carb water or for those already better versed in the science. It is an entertaining and informative read, and I highly recommend it.
This unique book provides a much-needed big picture. It is one that addresses the state of humankind, the errant direction we have all taken, the dark influence of global corporations and, most importantly, how we can regain our power and embrace a truly healthy, sustainable future. Nora makes the case for setting aside our differences to focus on what we all share: a common biological design, and a need for a food economy that restores local, natural systems. In this way, we can take back what was once ours, and what is fundamentally our primal birthright.
The message of the book is powerful and compelling. America has been on a disastrous course with respect to diet in its official policies, and in regard to our own work, the Standard American Diet represents an impediment to achieving the best results with neurofeedback. A major reset is in order, and the essential path is laid out in this book. Nora has been a prime mover in the paleo diet movement with her first major book, Primal Body Primal Mind. But the story continues to evolve as research proliferates, and as we learn to adjust to current realities regarding agriculture and the whole food processing chain…
