Coconut oil, red meat, and butter—these fats are traditionally considered harmful, but this powerful book, based on more than two decades of research, shows that these saturated fats are actually essential to weight loss and health. Eat Fat, Lose Fat flouts conventional wisdom by revealing that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as corn and soybean) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crisis.

The three programs in this book, which features delicious coconut oil based recipes, among others, show that eating healthy fats is the answer to losing weight and achieving good health for a lifetime.

“If permanently losing weight while improving your health is a real goal, I highly recommend Eat Fat, Lose Fat.”—Dr. Joseph Mercola, bestselling author of The No-Grain Diet

“Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon are two of the most important voices in the wellness revolution. Eat Fat, Lose Fat is a must read.”
—Jordan S. Rubin, author of The New York Times’ bestselling The Maker’s Diet

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this new addition to the fast-fix diet book shelf, Enig and Fallon attempt to correct what they see as Americans' false belief that tropical fats and oils (such as coconut and palm) are unhealthy, asserting that those fats (and coconut, especially) are beneficial saturated fats that should be more heavily incorporated into our diets. Enig, a biochemist and nutritionist, along with Fallon, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation (a non-profit dedicated to helping people implement healthy approaches to nutrition), say "high-fat, low-carb really works," eschewing the disastrous effects a high-fat diet can have on a person's heart. They like the Atkins diet, but say it doesn't take advantage of the "metabolism-boosting" powers of coconut oil. Their approach skews more toward traditional diets and away from modern diets (e.g., chose animal fats over vegetable oils; raw or fermented dairy products instead of pasteurized ones). Though based on considerable research, the book is somewhat off-putting. Its emphasis on one ingredient-in the recipe section, for example, one sample menu has readers eating a dish with coconut in it seven times in one day-seems nutritionally suspicious.

I ate better than every before with this author's philosophy...

July 23, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is the best approach to adopting a healthy eating lifestyle while not having to sacrifice eating great tasting food. I devised my own plan based upon recipes and recommendations and I lost 26lbs. in roughly 40 days. The best part of this approach is I ate better than any other "diet" I ever tried before. I still eat this way today and maintain a comfortable weight and feel amazing. I feel healthy. I have energy. I am happy. I do not feel deprived or wanting for flavorful food. This book changed my life! I hope it does for you too. Like all books say, consult your physician before trying any change in your typical diet. If this review helped you make a decision, one way or another, please click the "yes" button saying my review was helpful...it would be nice to know my opinion had an impact!

Health Recovery is BRILLIANT, but Quick and Easy Weight Loss didn't live up to the promise

December 8, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I wanted to love this book, I really did. I purchased it after I had already purchased Nourishing Traditions and Sally Fallon's broth book as well, and implementing her Health Restore traditional eating diet in this book RADICALLY turned my health around for the better - I no longer suffered from anxiety, I no longer suffered from depression, my osteoarthritis was gone, my weight was stable, my heart problems had gone away, and I was happy. Then one day, I was no longer happy with my weight, and decided it was time to turn to the Quick and Easy Weight Loss section to continue on this happy path. I was VERY excited the first and second weeks, when I lost 2 pounds each week.
As a former Weight Watchers leader who had lost 79 pounds on Weight Watchers, I had been taught, and myself taught others, that in a healthy diet you could expect a weight loss of just one pound per week. Then the third week into the program, I didn't lose anything, not even inches. Same thing for the fourth week. 2 days before the approach of the end of my 5th week weigh in, I weighed myself and found exactly what I'd suspected - nothing lost AGAIN.
So I put my analytical brain to the test and started to sleuth out the problem:
What were my portion sizes, had they grown too large? No
What about my calorie count, had it exceeded 2,500 calories per day? No
What about my oil, was I eating enough coconut oil? Yes

Then I remembered a video I'd watched called Cereal Killers, and Prof Tim Noakes and his High Fat Low Carb Diet. I discovered he'd written a book about it, and after investigation discovered that what had happened, in fact, during weeks 3, 4, and 5, were that my CARBOHYDRATE intake had increased. Not a lot, but I was eating oatmeal every day for breakfast.
So I began adding in Prof Noakes' guidelines for keeping carbohydrates between 25g and 50 g per day, and for the last 2 days prior to my Week 5 weight in, I kept them low, and didn't have oatmeal for breakfast. Result? I lost another 2 pounds at week 5 weigh in. IN 2 DAYS. Contrast that with the full week it took on this program for each of the first two weeks.
I have continued Banting (the diet that Prof Noakes recommends) and have continued to lose a pound a day for the past 4 days.
Can I recommend this book? ABSOLUTELY!!! If you are new to healthy eating, if you have degenerative diseases that need addressing, BUY IT, implement the Health Recovery strategies and you'll be loving yourself for it!
BUT, if you are like me and suffer from carbohydrate intolerance (and everyone is different, everyone metabolizes carbohydrates differently), then consider keeping a keen eye on your carbohydrate intake and make sure it stays between 25g and 50g per day, and you'll have much more success.
Prof Tim Noakes wrote the book 'The Real Meal Revolution' and I highly recommend it as well as Eat Fat, Lose Fat to anyone who is seriously interested in improving their health for the better.

Vital Health Information

April 9, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book presents evidence that clears any confusion about health effects of animal fats, saturated fats, polyunsaturates, transfats, and the entire spectrum of (mis)information we've been subjected to related to these products. There's ample evidence that what we know, and what the medical field relies on, is information published according to food oil-manufacturing profit necessities. Just as we've known for some time, it's best to know who financed the study you want to rely on for your health. I read this book after I read "Know Your Fats," by Mary Enig, which provides an abundance of hard data gathered from University of Maryland's research, and details Dr. Enig's difficulties in getting this information to the public over manufacturing deterrence tactics.
If you continue to be concerned about the real meaning of cholesterol levels (hint: There are no studies that actually prove that cholesterol CAUSES CAD), the effects on your body and arteries of saturated fats, and the level of corporate interference in your food choices--this book can give you completely new insights.

Great nutrition manual for those who have been brainwashed to believe fat is bad

June 11, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Both my fiancee and I have turned around our thinking and eating habits because of this book and have a consistent, healthy weight loss to show for it. In two months, he has lost 20 lbs and I have lost 11. Nothing else has helped in the past, at least long-term. Low fat diets have always left me hungry and desperate for more food and sweets. But once we started focusing on eating fats and low carb whole foods, the weight started to melt off - without hunger. After a few weeks, the sweet cravings went away too. Sometimes I'll crave something sweet, have a bite or two and end up throwing it away because it doesn't taste good. That had never happened before. We probably won't try some of the recipes but the book is full of great advice and solid nutritional information.

I like this book so much I have in print and on Kindle

January 6, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Sally Fallon and Dr. Mary Enig are retro-revolutionaries in the health and nutrition field and have done remarkable work, basing it off the foundation work of Weston Price. I use retro-revolutionaries, because their work encourages you to get back to the basics of eating nutritious food, and to eliminate highly-processed foods from your diet. They also encourage the reader to make the right fat choices. This book is the weight-loss component of their work in Nourishing Traditions. Following their principals, I lost 25% off my starting weight, and have been able to keep it off for two years, without a lot of effort. The change was worth it, and like most people who have lost a significant amount of weight, I feel much better. My feeling is that if more people were to eat as they suggest, then there would be a significant reduction in diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other lifestyle-related diseases in this country. I highly recommend this book, and as well as the other books they have written.
