This is an interesting book full of healthy foods and recipes. The author, Dr. Galland, explains the interrelationship of hunger, inflammation, and body weight. The premise of the diet is that if you become leptin-resistant so that your body does not respond to the hormone leptin, you will have difficulty losing weight. Leptin suppresses appetite and stimulates metabolism thereby assisting with weight loss. The three-phase diet program provides a combination of anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods and over a hundred delicious recipes. Dr. Galland believes that leptin resistance is a hormone imbalance that interferes with our natural ability to regulate appetite and metabolism. The good news is that this imbalance can be fixed by the foods we eat and don't eat. He also believes we get caught in a vicious cycle of inflammation and obesity, where inflammation can be caused by certain foods and by being overweight. In turn, inflammation in the body promotes obesity. Therefore, as you gain weight, the extra fat tissue causes more inflammation, which makes it more difficult to lose weight. Dr. Galland believes we can correct this vicious cycle by increasing consumption of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nuts, flaxseeds, fish, and lean protein, and by eliminating sugars, white flour, red meat, unhealthy hydrogenated fats, and junk foods like French fries. The book lists many healthy "Superfoods" that are anti-inflammatory. The diet provides three stages: a first which flushes the system, a second which adds some foods (grains) back in, and a third stage which is for maintenance. The diet has recipes designed to keep you happy with what you are eating. If you are frustrated with dieting, this book provides an interesting science-backed approach to getting the fat off and keeping it off forever.
