Lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse the damages from heart disease, adult-onset diabetes, and more, using this invaluable high-protein/low-carbohydrate medically proven diet program.
If you’ve been living the low-fat, no-fat way and still haven’t lost weight, stop blaming yourself! Instead, turn to the breakthrough metabolic program that replaces lifelong dieting with lifelong health. Based on cutting-edge research, this revolutionary yet simple regimen calls for a new way of eating: a protein-rich, moderate-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that will help you feeling better and more energetic within a week and help correct blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol within three weeks.
Not your traditional diet plan, Protein Power teaches you:
• that you can eat the foods you love, including meats (even steaks, bacon, and burgers), cheeses, and eggs
• how to make the best selections at fine restaurants or fast-food chains
• the best supplements for jump-starting your metabolism to burn fat
• how to include wine in your diet for enjoyment and health
• muscle-building strength-training exercises
• tips for maintaining motivation
• to rethink the current wisdom on fat intake (science has shown that fat does not make you fat!)
• and more!
With nearly 100 easy-to-prepare, inexpensive, and mouthwatering recipes, along with complete meal plans suitable for family dining or formal entertaining, it’s never been easier to lose weight without sacrificing the foods you love.

I read this book for the first time in 1996. I took it seriously and it changed my life. I worked out regularly and after the initial transition to ketosis I stayed on a low carb diet for several more years. I was in the best shape of my life. After several years I gradually added carbs back into my life and stayed perfectly fit for a decade. I have realized that my weight, energy, and overall mental sharpness were sliding, so I started back up from the beginning with my old copy of Protein Power with the white cover. After three weeks I've lost 10 pounds, my cholesterol levels are perfect, and my blood pressure has dropped from 130/95 to 110 /80. The first week and a half are always the hardest and if you cheat during that time you need to start over at 10-20g carbs/day, but once your body's ketosis gets going you can increase just enough to enjoy some sweet things in moderation. Anyone who tells you this is "dangerous" is the dangerous one.

This book thoroughly debunks the sugar-industry supported trope that the fat you eat automatically turns into body fat and cholesterol.

I felt like a new person not bogged down by medical issues and lack of energy just a few chapters in. Thank you!
