Product Description:
YOUR GENES ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU– AND YOU’RE EATING IT UP!
Does losing weight and staying healthy feel like a battle? Well, it’s really a war. Your enemies are your own genes, backed by millions of years of evolution, and the only way to win is to outsmart them.
Dr. Steven Gundry explains what your body is “thinking” and tells you why, surprisingly, your genes actually “want” you to be fat–even sick. Eating many so-called healthy foods gives your body the wrong messages and may activate what Dr. Gundry calls “killer genes,” whose purpose is to get rid of you. Now, with his revolutionary ideas, which enabled him to easily lose 70 pounds, you can reprogram your body for the health, life, looks, and longevity you desire! And this is a diet that works equally well for women and men, no matter what their age.
Transform yourself with this three-phase plan:
• The Teardown Phase will train your body to stop storing fat and curb your appetite, which enables you to lose weight while turning off “killer genes.”
• The Restoration Phase gives your genes the resources to make you healthy and strong.
• The Longevity Phase will allow you to enjoy your new, slim, vibrant body for a good, long time by making your genes protect you from aging.
This entirely new way of looking at eating, weight loss, and the aging process teaches you how to manipulate your body’s programming, learn to deactivate “killer genes,” and keep disease and aging at bay.
Dr. Gundry’s Diet Evolution shares the health secrets other doctors won’t tell you:
• Why plants are “good” for you because they’re “bad” for you and meat is “bad” because it’s “good” for you
• Why plateauing on this diet is actually a sign that you’re on the right track
• How to choose micronutrient-rich, “calorie scant” foods instead of just “low calorie” foods
• Why artificial sweeteners have the same effects as sugar on your health and your waistline
• Why taking antacids, statins, and drugs for high blood pressure and arthritis only mask health issues instead of addressing them
• Why thinning hair and skin tags are two signals that your genes are trying to kill you
Along with the meal planner, 70 delicious recipes, and inspirational stories, Dr. Gundry’s easy-to-memorize tips will keep you healthy and on course:
• If it’s “beige” or “white,” keep it out of sight.
• If you eat dark “green,” you will become lean.
• If you eat fake fats, you’ll get heart attacks.

Rating: - Lost 23 pounds
I started this diet after hearing Dr. Gundry speak in a radio interview. I had just taken a cholesterol test at that time, so I was compelled to go on the diet and see if I could lower my cholesterol without the use of drugs... which I was on. I was very strict... no cheating... and lost 23 pounds in 90 days, and lowered my body fat percentage to 12.5%. I never felt that I was fat, but my main concern was my cholesterol, mainly because every man in my family has died of heart disease in there 50's. ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed in the website
While I think his book is fascinating, I was very disappointed to find that the website he keeps referring readers to has nothing on it.
Rating: - I have used this and it works
I bought this book after hearing Dr. Gundry being interviewed on KFI radio in Los Angeles. I let it sit for awhile, then my wife picked it up, read it, and got me interested. With her help I implemented the diet and I've lost ~30 lbs (271 -> 242) in 12 weeks so far. My goal is to reach 220 by November (I'm 6'3") and it looks like I'll easily exceed that by the time November roles around. My blood pressure has gone from ~122/83 to ~109/67. I've also noticed that a lot of little daily pains I had been ... Read More
Rating: - Its working!
I have been on this diet for about a month. I have lost 12 pounds. I am not starving like I used to be when I was eating what I wanted. I have not had blood sugar swings. I did have a head ache for about the first week, but I feel better now than ever. My joints do not hurt as much. I have no gastrointestinal distress, and my thin hair is getting thicker. I can see the new hairs growing. It is easy to follow, nothing to count. Try it!
Rating: - 1 pound a day
This is a fantastic book! I have purchased 5 so far and given them to people who see such a difference in me! I am down 29 pounds in about 3 months. I lost a pound a day on phase 1. After that first 2 weeks I am loosing about 2-3 pounds per week.I have lost 3 sizes. My blood pressure has dropped and my energy level is great. I am never hungry. I do follow the diet exactly and have not added any grain and very limited fruit. It just makes sense to eat what makes you feel better. This is a new way of ... Read More
