In "How Not to Diet" Dr. Greger suggests a different approach. He dives deep in the science and lays out the key ingredients of the ideal weight-loss — factors such as calorie density, the insulin index, and the impact of foods on our gut microbiome—showing how plant-based eating is crucial to our success.
