Smart Fat: Eat More Fat. Lose More Weight. Get Healthy Now.

For years, dietary guidance discouraged fat consumption. However, eliminating fat from diets has eliminated significant health benefits and hindered weight loss efforts. Nutritionist Jonny Bowden and physician Steven Masley independently identified a key distinction: smart fat versus dumb fat. Smart Fat explains the properties of healthy fats, including their role in hormone balance, energy levels, appetite control, and anti-inflammatory effects. The book argues that weight loss and long-term weight management depend on incorporating smart fats alongside fiber, protein, and flavor into meals. The authors identify which fats to eat and which to avoid, then provide a thirty-day meal plan and fifty recipes built on the combination of fat, fiber, protein, and flavor. The book includes a twenty-nine-day menu with meal-by-meal guidance and recipes such as beef stew.
