More about the book

An acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss presents a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry’s emphasis on protein, arguing that it is detrimental to our health and can hinder weight loss. Many professionals recommend increased protein intake, and numerous foods, drinks, and supplements are packed with it. While some individuals turn to protein for weight control or energy, Dr. Garth Davis questions its health benefits, asserting that excessive protein consumption is actually making us sick, fat, and tired. He emphasizes that if you are consuming adequate calories, protein deficiency is not an issue. In fact, the healthiest countries consume significantly less protein than we do, yet our nation continues to indulge in a protein-heavy diet, resulting in worsening health outcomes. Frustrated by the rising number of sick and overweight patients, Dr. Davis's own health scare prompted him to take action. By combining cutting-edge research with his clinical experience and analysis of the world’s longest-lived populations, this groundbreaking work reveals the risks associated with high protein intake and offers a proven approach to achieving weight loss, improved health, and longevity.
