Description
Leading Harvard Medical School expert and "obesity warrior" (Time magazine) Dr. David Ludwig rewrites the rules on weight loss, diet, and health in this guide to retraining your cells and reclaiming your health for life.
Forget everything you've been taught about dieting. In Always Hungry?, renowned endocrinologist Dr. David Ludwig explains why traditional diets don't work and presents a radical new plan to help you lose weight without hunger, improve your health, and feel great.
For over two decades, Dr. Ludwig has been at the forefront of research into weight control. His groundbreaking studies show that overeating doesn't make you fat; the process of getting fat makes you overeat. That's because fat cells play a key role in determining how much weight you gain or lose. Low-fat diets work against you by triggering fat cells to hoard more calories for themselves, leaving too few for the rest of the body. This "hungry fat" sets off a dangerous chain reaction that leaves you feeling ravenous as your metabolism slows down. Cutting calories only makes the situation worse by creating a battle between mind and metabolism that we're destined to lose. You gain more weight even as you struggle to eat less food.
Always Hungry? turns dieting on its head with a three-phase program that ignores calories and targets fat cells directly. The recipes and meal plan include luscious high-fat foods (like nuts and nut butters, full-fat dairy, avocados, and dark chocolate), savory proteins, and natural carbohydrates. The result? Fat cells release their excess calories, and you lose weight - and inches - without battling cravings and constant hunger. This is dieting without deprivation.
Forget calories. Forget cravings. Forget dieting. Always hungry? reveals a liberating new way to tame hunger and lose weight for good.

        Starred review from January 1, 2016

        Ludwig, a professor at Harvard Medical School and its School of Public Health, shows why counting calories doesn't work. The author explains that what we eat is more important than how much and describes the effects of high and low glycemic load. High-glycemic foods flood the body with sugar, and then cause a sugar crash. Low-glycemic foods result in the body feeling full sooner and take longer to digest, thereby evening out metabolism and reducing or eliminating cravings. VERDICT Ludwig's meal plans and recipes are excellent. This quality book on the basics of losing weight will appeal to all types of readers.

        December 15, 2015
        In this ode to whole, natural foods, Ludwig, professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and professor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, criticizes the dieting tradition of counting calories. Although a bottle of cola and a handful of nuts may have the same calories, they certainly don't have the same effects on metabolism, he writes. Good point. He urges people to go easy on processed foods and simple carbohydrates and go big on healthy fats and proteins. A recipe for a power shake even calls for some heavy cream. Why? What drives the pancreas to produce too much insulin which causes weight gain? he writes. Carbohydrates. He intersperses his general advice with patients' stories. Like Ludwig himself, these folks lost weight without dieting. Expect to find charts with the glycemic load of carb-containing foods and the phases of his program. He ends with an arresting epilogue titled Ending the Madness, which reveals how the U.S. government essentially subsidizes the production of grains with low nutritional quality over nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Now that's food for thought.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
