Primal Fat Burner

Live Longer, Slow Aging, Super-Power Your Brain, and Save Your Life with a High-Fat, Low-Carb Paleo Diet

De: Nora Gedgaudas, David Perlmutter - foreword

Narrado por: Donna Postel

Popular nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: eat fat to burn fat. In her new book, Primal Fat Burner, she explains the benefits and science behind a ketogenic diet: It switches your metabolism from running on sugars to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years have refuted the previously promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now, Gedgaudas explains, science shows that fat isn't a no-no but rather a yes-yes - as long as you know the right kinds of fats to eat. In addition to explaining the science beyond that logic, Gedgaudas also lays out a practical meal plan with recipes - all of which reveals that following a ketogenic diet will lead to consuming fewer calories overall!

Good book, but no access to recipes.

Where does Primal Fat Burner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 5 in regards to diet and health. I would rate a 5 star if it were not for the problem below.

Any additional comments?

There is no access or download for the recipes that the author includes in the book. There should be a website to get this, a PDF download, or some other way.

An eye opener, the path toward real wellbeing

I’m excited about the change that this book brings into my life, and as I have already adopted a paleo lifestyle and can see a huge change is my mood stability, focus, and overall well-being, I’m even more convinced now that going even further and applying the keto principals from this book will bring about the quality of life I have always dreamed of. Nothing tastes better than this wellbeing I feel more and more as I wake up without joint stiffness and anxiety, and go through my daily activities with a stable positive mood, without sugar dependency.

Very enjoyable and informative

Full of great nuggets of insight —- Nora shares great wisdom on how to best nourish your body. Adds to a growing body of work in the primal / paleo community. Highly recommended.

Great primal education

Good advice, sound and practical advice. Great high fat recipes with good sources of purchasing options.

Audio format isn’t recommended

After having listened to Primal Fat Burner, I now need to buy the actual book so I can have access to Chapters 16-21, as the included PDF is not sufficient (nor complete) in order to put the theory into practice. This is disappointing.

Fantastic

Nora Gedgaudas did It again. avant garde as usual... Low carb at its best. Excelent

fantastic

I loved her stories plus the way she described how fat is beneficial for all of us. SO worth it!

A must read for your health! Maria

Informative information; deciphered and provided in such a way that is understandable and makes a lot of sense. It is definitely an eye opener and a changer if you care about your health and that of your loved ones.

ARRGH...

Where does Primal Fat Burner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

My problem, about 3 hours into the audible book, is that no references have been/are mentioned. I don't expect to hear the references, of which there should be scores if not hundreds, to support all of the numerous statements the author makes as if they are undisputed facts. But, the speaker could mention that references are provided in the book or online. I don't know if references are given.

The author goes back to Lucy, the famous hominid of six plus million years ago, to fashion her thesis, with support of ancient paleontological and archeological evidence, but without references. Thus, the listener is jerked from one "scientific" statement to another, all the while waiting for the author to get to the subject of the book (or to the subject that this reader was expecting to find in the book).

The other very irritating feature, so far, in listening to this book is that the speaker mispronounces a few significant words, including the name of important fats. This announces to the listener that the author did not review the work for quality and soundness before it was made available as an audible book. It also lets the listener know that the reader did not prepare to read the book by searching for unfamiliar words and seeking out guidance from the author or, in this case, a scientist familiar with the subjects covered, before recording those passages.

I am still enthused about what might be found in this book regarding a really good Paleo diet, so I will continue to listen. I plan to do this in comparatively short bursts so I don't get too irritated, should the lack of allusion to references (to be found elsewhere) and lack of preparation continue.

What did you like best about this story?

Pissed me off.

Needs new narrator!

The narrator’s voice was SUPER annoying. Half info-mercial and half romance novel. The tone was super lame and inappropriate for a nonfiction/science -based work.
