Food

What the Heck Should I Eat

De: Dr. Mark Hyman MD

Narrado por: Dr. Mark Hyman MD

Number one New York Times best-selling author Dr. Mark Hyman sorts through the conflicting research on food to give us the skinny on what to eat.

Did you know that eating oatmeal actually isn't a healthy way to start the day? That milk doesn't build bones, and eggs aren't the devil? Even the most health conscious among us have a hard time figuring out what to eat in order to lose weight, stay fit, and improve our health. And who can blame us? When it comes to diet, there's so much changing and conflicting information flying around that it's impossible to know where to look for sound advice. And decades of misguided "common sense," food-industry lobbying, bad science, and corrupt food polices and guidelines have only deepened our crisis of nutritional confusion, leaving us overwhelmed and anxious when we head to the grocery store.

Thankfully, best-selling author Dr. Mark Hyman is here to set the record straight. In Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? - his most comprehensive book yet - he takes a close look at every food group and explains what we've gotten wrong, revealing which foods nurture our health and which pose a threat. From grains to legumes, meat to dairy, fats to artificial sweeteners, and beyond, Dr. Hyman debunks misconceptions and breaks down the fascinating science in his signature accessible style.

He also explains food's role as powerful medicine capable of reversing chronic disease and shows how our food system and policies impact the environment, the economy, social justice, and personal health, painting a holistic picture of growing, cooking, and eating food in ways that nourish our bodies and the earth while creating a healthy society. With myth-busting insights, easy-to-understand science, and delicious, wholesome recipes, Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? is a no-nonsense guide to achieving optimal weight and lifelong health.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Most people know that a good diet is the cornerstone of health, but are confused about what to eat. Low-carb, low-fat, Paleo, plant-based, raw-food, vegan or vegetarian? In Food, Dr. Hyman cuts through this confusion and empowers readers with confidence and clarity about what to eat." (Chris Kresser, MS, LAc, author of The Paleo Cure)

"Mark Hyman is a food revolution superstar. Here he makes a clear and powerful case that for most people, low-fat isn't the answer, but high-quality fats is. I have no doubt that the vast majority of people will be far healthier for following his advice." (John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and cofounder of The Food Revolution Network)

"Dr. Hyman hammers home that fats should be the foundation of our diet, an easy step given the power of the research he presents and his delicious recipes." (Mehmet Oz, MD)

Good info snothered w/ save the planet andself ads

long winded and over emphasises topics and website ads. Good science and data on topics.

It's Okay But Not Practical Long Term

An okay diet to follow. I need more of the carbs he says are okay. I have a very physical job. I get hungry naturally and can' follow this diet. He says to follow the diet and customize it a bit to find what works for you though. Be patient but take with a grain of salt. It will also take some time to reset your body but the results are worth it a little. I especially like how I am keeping my blood sugar low so I am not quite as hungry all the time. My gut also feels a bit better. Highly recommend for those serious about changing their health through diet while maintaining a healthy balance of real food.

Wish I had known this info for decades!

I have read several books by Dr. Mark Hyman. I particularly love this book because it is a synopsis of most of the other books. How I wish I had known this info when I was young. How much healthier I would have been my whole life. And, as a mother, how I wish I had fed my children this way and had taught them that food is medicine.

Best health book

I have read a lot of health and diet books but this one was the best. Bought 3 of the hard copies to send to sisters

Excellent information for health!

Only suggestion is for Dr. Hyman to slow down his speech a little and pronounce the words more clearly. Some sentences were spoken quickly and words run together without pauses and clear intonation.

Great presentation of what we know now about food

Great presentation of what we know now about food. Mark does a great job of providing a dispassionate analysis of historical food mistakes along with current more enlightened understanding — all backed up by published studies — devoid of food industry influence. Well worth everyone’s time. This should be a featured in grade school health classes!

Outstanding!

It's about time someone told the truth about our food today. It's also conveniently put together in this down to earth, easy to understand book. This is also a great book to have on hand as a home reference. I guarantee you'll read it again, and refer to it often!

A great guide to excellent eating!

I enjoy Dr. Mark Hyman's conversational way of writing and how he provides all the science as well as a straight forward do and don't list format.

learned alot!!!

made me change the food I buy and eat! if nothing else, opened my eyes on how important to eat mostly organic.

All in one amazing book worth 2nd & 3rd read

Info: very genuine, to the point and intent on being practical and helpful. If you wanted to build a lifestyle this book would cover the entire diet aspect of it.

Narration: Friendly engaging voice.

Book: Surprisingly engaging for a diet book, hooked the entire time. Love this book and this doctor. I even followed him on IG and bought his other books.
