    About this audiobook

    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, while others believe it gives them more energy. Now, weight loss expert Dr. Garth Davis 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 getting sicker by the day.
    As a surgeon, 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, this groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.

      I skimmed this toward the end as he kept beating a dead horse. You're vegan, you think animal protein is the devil. Got it. Oddly enough, I somewhat agree with his tenets. Carbs aren't the devil for everyone and they certainly haven't been for me personally in my weight loss journey. However in his quest to prove that he's correct and the proponents of paleo, Atkins, South Beach, etc. he commits some of the same errors as he accuses them of. He'll criticise doctors for not knowing nutrition but then go on to push his theory which of course is more correct than those he's critical of. I agree with some of his theories on the fetishization of Paleo as a true cave man diet, but I disagree with his assertion that there is one true way of eating. Different diets work for different people even if his theory that Americans are too overweight is true. A good read, but could have been a lot shorter and a lot less preachy.

      Amazingly informative. Well presented for non science people. Well written
    • 5/5
      Of course I'm disappointed that more people are not reading or have read this heavily fact based book---but then again, he's writing to the choir at least for me. It is almost impossible to change people's eating habits unless for some reason they reach a point of desperation---sometimes, as with the author himself, a life or death decision. This book is so completely well researched but how does one get the low-carb crowd to even turn their heads to listen. I can't recommend this book with greater enthusiasm but there is a wall of "mental meat" (my term) out there to try and cut through, pun intended.The one other reviewer comments that he sounds preachy but he was trying hard to make his points, and yes, it took and deserves repetition. The answers will appear over time as the low-carb crowd ages and finds out what happens to their bodies----do they have none of the resulting health problems Davis describes? I will agree that Davis is totally committed to his beliefs and with his resulting exercise efforts he can prove what has worked for one person, as a great example. Will that work for everyone? Of course not but I think he does provide plenty of evidence that there is more potential harm with a heavy protein food plan than with a heavy plant based food plan. It is up to each person to decide what they want to consume.
