Reviews

"This [adopting a fat-based, ketogenic diet] is the single most important health intervention we can make as doctors... And as nations."--Timothy Noakes, M.D., Emeritus professor in the Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine at the University of Cape Town, South Africa "Booklist"

"Primal Fat Burner has a wealth of new information and science showing us the power of a ketogenic diet in addressing many health issues including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, neurological diseases, and cancer. Nora writes with passion, enthusiasm, and a warm sense of humor as she takes you on a life-changing easy-to-implement journey to take control of your health by putting fat front and center! This is a book that should be read far and wide."--Vicki Poulter, Director, Nourishing Australia, International Advisory board of Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation "Booklist"

"Primal Fat Burner is an amazing follow up to Primal Body Primal Mind. Nora does what most writers won't do which is to truly answer the questions of those that want to know the answers. This book is full of incredible recipes, nutritional nuggets and an approach to Ketogenic dieting that will dispel the notion that Fat is bad. Get ready to clear your pantry of poison and find your paleo path in Primal Fat Burner today!"--Adam Von Rothfelder "Booklist"

"Gedgaudas deftly describes the link between what we eat and what we become. Millions of years of human evolution made us omnivores with well-muscled bodies and extraordinary minds that could not have developed without a diet rich in fat, including saturated fat! Read this book and you'll understand why much maligned animal fat is so important to your health and why it is critical that it come from animals grazing on healthy land (and not confined to feedlots). I cannot recommend this book highly enough."--Allan Savory, The Savory Institute "Booklist"

"In terms of nutritional knowledge, Gedgaudas is about a decade ahead of 99% of U.S. physicians, who are taught virtually zilch about healthful eating in medical school. Counterintuitive though it sounds, increasing your fat intake will promote weight loss. The real nutritional villain is sugar (a fact kept hidden from us by the sugar industry!). The low carb-high fat diet in Primal Fat Burner actually protects people from obesity and heart disease. When it comes to making the overweight and chronically ill American healthy again, Primal Fat Burner is destined to be a real game changer."--David Edelberg, MD, author of The Triple Whammy Cure "Booklist"

Praise for PRIMAL FAT BURNER "This book tells the fascinating story of how our very humanity--our healthy bodies and exceptional brains--evolved from eating animal foods including their natural fats. The science supporting the lack of harm--and indeed the benefit--of dietary fat, including saturated fat, has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. In this well-researched and wide-ranging book, Gedgaudas shows a mastery of that science--and then takes it a step further. Drawing upon her many years of personal, clinical experience with patients, she explains how to take these principles into practice, bridging the gap between science and usable information for daily nutrition. This is a unique and profound contribution to the field."--Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise.
