An acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry’s focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent us from losing weight.
Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, “Is all this protein making us healthier?”
The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day.
As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world’s longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.

Carbs are not the enemythey are a source of energy, and are staples in the diets of the longest-living peoples in the world.Dr. Daviss conclusions are supported by numerous scientific studies over many years in multiple countries: meatnot carbs, and not even sugarprovokes a state of inflammation, an immune system response that, when it becomes chronic, underlies virtually every one of our chronic disorders, including heart disease and diabetes. Consuming animal protein is also linked to weight gain, and even issues related to fatigue and brain fog.Dr. Davis distills these findings into a straightforward, plant-based solution that combines what we know about our own biology, the evidence from our worlds healthiest cultures, and an insiders knowledge of the health media and its flawed messaging.
