We've been told that dairy does a body good, but the truth is that cheese can be dangerous. Loaded with calories, fat, and cholesterol, cheese can make you gain weight and leads to a host of health problems like high blood pressure and arthritis. Worse, it contains mild opiates that make it addictive, triggering the same brain receptors as heroin and morphine. In The Cheese Trap, Dr. Neal Barnard presents a comprehensive program to help listeners break free of their cheese addiction.

In The China Study, T. Colin Campbell revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food, plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat. Now, in Whole, he explains the science behind that evidence, the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body, and why, if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong, our eating habits haven’t changed.
We're eating our way to discomfort, unhappiness, disease, and premature death. Revered nutrition and health expert, PBS personality, and best-selling author of Eat to Live, Super Immunity, and The End of Diabetes, Dr. Joel Fuhrman delivers a hard-hitting, culture-shifting examination of the role fast and processed food plays in our nation's health crisis and offers a program to help us discover a lasting solution, including a two-week meal plan and 80 recipes.
By now, the low-carb diet's refrain is a familiar one: "Bread is bad for you. Fat doesn't matter. Carbs are the real reason you can't lose weight. In The Low-Carb Fraud, longtime leader in the nutritional science field T. Colin Campbell outlines where and how the low-carb proponents get it wrong: Where the belief came from that carbohydrates are bad and why it persists despite all the evidence to the contrary. The foods we misleadingly refer to as "carbs" aren't all created equal, and treating them that way has major consequences for our nutritional well-being.

Few consumers are aware of the economic forces behind the production of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Yet omnivore and herbivore alike, the forces of meatonomics affect us in many ways. Most importantly, we've lost the ability to decide for ourselves what - and how much - to eat. Those decisions are made for us by animal food producers who control our buying choices with artificially-low prices, misleading messaging, and heavy control over legislation and regulation.
The Whole Foods Diet simplifies the huge body of science, research, and advice that is available today and reveals the undeniable consensus: a whole foods, plant-based diet is the optimum diet for health and longevity.

Overmedicated, overfed, and malnourished, most Americans fail to realize the answer to lower disease rates doesn't lie in more pills but in the foods we eat. With so much misleading nutritional information regarded as common knowledge, from "everything in moderation" to "avoid carbs", the average American is ill-equipped to recognize the deadly force of abundant, cheap, unhealthy food options that not only offer no nutritional benefits but actually bring on disease.
An incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever
In October 2006, the night before he was to turn forty, Rich experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he saw where his sedentary lifestyle was taking him. Most of us look the other way when granted such a moment of clarity, but not Rich.
When Mehmet Oz has a patient whose life depends on losing weight, he calls on Joel Fuhrman, M.D. In Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, Dr. Fuhrman offers his healthy, effective, and scientifically proven plan for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly, and keeping it off.
High in calories and cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root causes of a host of avoidable health problems - from indigestion, ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while simultaneously fighting illness.
Whether you are seeing a doctor, a nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise eating 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.

STORY (health/diet) - So this is a very informative book. My relatively low review is mostly because I was unrealistic with my expectations when I bought it. I'm very interested in health/diet information and I have been contemplating adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. I was thinking this book might give me the facts and ammunition I need to give up eating meat. So what was I expecting other than lots of scientific facts and reason why I shouldn't eat meat? Duh!
At any rate, this book is chock FULL of technical tests, scientific facts and information. The last 3-4 hours were the most helpful, especially Chapter 10. That part of the book has more simplified, useful information for the lay listener.
PERFORMANCE - Good job, nothing special.
OVERALL - If you're interested in lots of very technical reasons why meat is bad for you, look no further! Just be aware that you may get more than you asked for!

I found Proteinaholic really enjoyable. I started eating WFPB only 4 weeks ago. Before that I was a died-in-the-wool low-carb advocate from about 2000 to 2014. After that I was a bit conflicted, but still thought that heavy meat consumption was ok for many (most?) people, just not those with certain genes that predisposed them to be "overly sensative" to saturated fat.
I totally bought into the evolutionary aspects of low-carb visa vis the paleo diet theory. It just made so much sense to me. Which is why I'm so glad I came across Dr. Garth's book. It really made a point at going through each of the talking points and tropes that you find in low-carb/paleo circles and why so many of them don't hold water. I feel like I was hoodwinked and worse, was deluding MYSELF for years because I'd just bought into one side of the argument. This while I marveled at how people could deny global warming despite all the evidence. I think it goes to show that all of us are quite capable of buying into something and then refusing to look at evidence that may be contrary - or just trying to rationalize that evidence away despite it's value, because if it goes against your worldview. Cognitive dissonance!
The book takes you through Davis's personal journey of his own denial and slow realization that our collective delusion about the primacy of protein is based of fallacies and marketers taking advantage of that. He takes you through many studies to show that the "preponderance of evidence" indicates that a plant-based diet is the healthiest one for humans, but is also fair about saying exactly what we do and don't have scientific "proof" of - but also what can practically and reasonably be expected as far as studies that could be done.
All in all, this was a great listen!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Finally, some facts you can use and share. I appreciate the deep delve into Atkins, Pritikin and other food movements and their founders (including their autopsy results). Also, mind blowing was the recommended levels of protein vs. what is consumed, and how some athletic trainers can miscalculate for clients the amount of protein needed.
While the comparison between the omnivore vs. carnivore digestive system was familiar, the way that the information was presented kept me engaged the entire time. Lastly, the narrator was fantastic.

Loved it. Every line of it. This was the mudge I needed to go fully plant based and oil free. That was it! Exactly 10 days ago I started it. Not looking back. Energy levels are up, exercise level is up, I am eating a lot, never hungry, and feeling amazing. I want the whole world to know this. Eat plants, heal your body.

I fully enjoyed this book and am planning to purchase a hard copy of this book! I enjoyed how this whole protein craze started and how we got to where we are today and how diets got started and why we decided to eat animal meat and how it has changed over the centuries and how to start eating a plant based diet and other helpful tips and suggestions. I would suggest this book for those who want to know and how to get started on eating better for yourself and for the environment.

Davis did what I thought could never be done, convince me that eating meat was bad for me. That all the paleo advice and Adkins diets were just a bunch of BS. Cutting meat out of my diet would revive my health and energy. He had me from the point about his energy level had improved so much he had to run marathons to expel all that energy.
I decided that I would begin by scaling back, eating meat as a side, a flavoring instead of the main part of the meal. What I found is I liked it, loved it in fact.
Davis's book is well written, and his arguments are convincing. Snow's narration is perfect for the book and makes you want to listen again. Now, when I read something about eating more protein, I know that it is just BS.

I have been triathlon training for 5 months now and haven't lost any weight. I tried to pack the animal protein thinking that would help me "build muscle" but I found that I had a huge struggle in gaining muscle and loosing weight. I did the green smoothy cleanse and it really helped my body feel like I gained clean energy. I definitely had to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to feel full. I liked how he backed up his theories with several studies and self experience. definitely recommending this book!

What made the experience of listening to Proteinaholic the most enjoyable?
the author made his case in an easy to understand and effective presentation of the subject.
What did you like best about this story?
He didn't play with the subject matter but made definitive argument against consuming meat if you want to avoid heart disease etc
Which scene was your favorite?
the illustration citing the Inuit peoples group and the contrast with the health of the "blue zone groups"
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
to much to absorb in one sitting
Any additional comments?
When I downloaded this book I did not expect to be convinced on his position. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I download and listen to almost all of the books on audio on this subject so I had a lot to compare it with. It was very enlightening.
