Ditch the diets and drugs and find a healthier you.
In Super Body, Dr. William Davis, MD, exposes why current weight-loss methods—including drugs like Ozempic—don't lead to long-term success and can have serious health consequences. One of the most important reasons underlying this phenomenon is that most weight-loss strategies involve loss of muscle mass, while weight regain is almost entirely fat. Cutting calories, injecting a drug, or undergoing bariatric surgery doesn't address the underlying causes of obesity and worse, causes more health problems, so health issues and the weight come back full force. Drawing on new science, including his own clinical research, in Super Body Dr. Davis explains, in his clear, easy-to-read, and provocative style:
Why not all fat is created equal and why most weight-loss efforts target the wrong type of fat
The myth of calories in, calories out, and other weight-loss fairy tales
How Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs are quick fixes that are disastrous for your digestive system and lead to long-term failure
The importance of the gut-muscle axis, so you can avoid weight-loss tactics that wreak havoc on your gut health and muscle mass
How you can actually lose weight, reduce body fat, and ditch the Homo Walmarticus body
And more.
Super Body also includes a three-week plan, easy movement strategies, recipes and ways to restore the nutrients that your body is missing.
