Publisher's summary

The pioneering physician scientist behind the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease reveals the science of eating your way to healthy weight loss.

In his first groundbreaking book, Dr. William Li explored the world of food as medicine. By eating foods that you already enjoy, like tomatoes, blueberries, sourdough bread, and dark chocolate your body activates its five health defense systems to fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, and other debilitating conditions.

Now in Eat to Beat Your Diet, Dr. Li introduces the surprising new science of weight loss, revealing healthy body fat can help you lose weight; your metabolism at 60 can be the same as when you were 20; yo-yo dieting can be good for your health; 8-hour fasting windows can be as effective as 12-hour fasting windows; and losing just a little bit of weight can have big impacts on your health. Eat to Beat Your Diet shows listeners how adding the right foods to your diet can heal your metabolism, reduce unhealthy body fat, and result in the kind of weight loss that can increase your lifespan and help you thrive. Foods like:

• Tomatoes
• Avocado
• Watermelon
• Carrots
• Blueberries
• Dark Chocolate
• Mushrooms
• Lentils
• Purple Maize
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Turmeric
• Lobster
• Mussel
• Caviar
• Oysters
• Sea Bass
• Green Tea
• Soy Milk
• Coffee
• Pomegranate Juice

Both informative and practical, Dr. Li offers a four-week meal plan for food lovers; easy food swaps and shopping tips; and more than a month of crowd-pleasing recipes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“A groundbreaking physician shares how we can use food to hack our natural defense systems and hardwire ourselves for health."—Mehmet Oz, MD, Host, The Dr. Oz Show

"Dr. William Li is a healthcare pioneer... Dr. Li helps our readers thrive by unpacking how the body's own systems respond to what we eat. His book will give practical tips for healthier living and empower readers with ways they can help their bodies fight disease."—Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO, Thrive Global

"In a new ground-breaking study—Eat to Beat Disease—Dr. William W. Li provides the knowledge and tools to make better decisions what to eat every day. This easy-to-read book is not a diet book but help you better understand what you eat."—The Washington Book Review

Good information

Good basic information to start eating healthier. I like that a “diet” is not given. Recommended foods to eat and why.

Book was great, but narrator was awful!

This book was great. I took away many helpful tips to eat more healthily. However, the narrator was just awful. He sounded snobby and I had a hard time getting past it. I wish I had purchased the hardcover book as there are so many things I would like to go back and reference.

Life changing information

This book by Dr. William Li is wonderful. Had I seen the thickness of the actual book before purchasing the audio version however, I'm not sure I would have attempted to read it. (ha) I'm very glad I did. The information in this book is amazing and to know that it is backed up by science, and not just opinion and/or monetary motivation is the real gold. It's what big Pharma and the powers that be don't want you to know. If your not an avid reader of books, I don't feel it would be a great book to get through the end of, simply due to the amount of granular detail Dr. Li goes into regarding foods, It might seem too monotonous and for that reason I'm glad I chose the audio version. I found it best to listen during my 2-3 mile walks each day and that proved to be a perfect way to ingest all the info. If you are looking to better your health once and for all, and are tired of what your seeing in the mirror each day, I highly recommend this book! I personally have lost 20lbs already by eating many of the foods in this book over the junk I used to eat and I feel great.

Good information

The information in this audiobook was just what I needed to help me focus on losing weight without going on another crazy diet.

Great book.

Awesome book and I love it ! This is the impressive book not to be missed.

Narrator Was Unbearable!

I love this topic and was very excited for this book but I made the mistake of not sampling before purchase. The narrator didn’t seem to fit the content and I barely got through the first chapter before calling it quits. He has a really slow, smooth jazz voice and it seemed better suited for a raunchy romance. I just couldn’t take it. I would say buy the hard copy instead.

Thanks, but……

Nothing this old gal didn’t already hear before. Been there, done that. Heard it all. I’m sure the Dr knows the caloric intake of fruits. As for me, on about a 1200-1300 calorie per day diet, I could not justify even a piece of fruit, let alone any kind of fruit juice, (even though there might be some health benefits). I do appreciate his knowledge and all the research put into his book, but honestly, it’s nothing I haven’t heard of already. Even recommending food journaling-think Weight Watchers?? As for me, strict caloric intake and 4 x week on an elliptical is the only thing giving me concrete results. Did not like the narrator’s voice. Just put me to sleep.

Detail is amazing, facts I believe are true!

I like the way Dr Li backs up his detail with clinical tests. Not small tests but extensive testing.
