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...

ByKevin Kowalkeon 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

ByAnastasiaon 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.

Great Book everyone should read!

ByLynne Maestason August 30, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So much good information and completely counter to what we have been fed over the past 25 yrs! I feel better, have so much more energy and am not hungry like I used to be most of the day - and lost 7 lbs on 2500 calories/day!!! (I am active, but my activity level has not changed).

I like this book

ByMeg Hauseron January 20, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I like this book, but like many others, it does not go far enough. In addition to eating more fat, we need to cut out grains, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), fructose, and other toxins. I wish this book addressed those issues. I think the Perfect Health Diet is really comprehensive at covering all the scientific literature on this.

I have more energy and zest for life. I recommend this book to everyone. Just buy it and follow the easy changes and you will realise it is the way to go.

Invaluable Read

ByBlanche A. Doumaon January 13, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have read this and other books by Mary Enig. She has the intellect of a genius, but does a good job of explaining complex aspects of chemistry that are completely over my head. To me, Ms. Enig is a true crusader, owing to her courageous and successful goal of FDA requirements for requiring labeling of trans fats. We ALL owe her a debt of thanks for her tireless work and efforts. I am a total fan, Mary !

Great Book!

ByJohnny Bon June 5, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Whether you are trying to lose weight or not, everyone should read this book. In less than 300 pages these really smart ladies debunk everything we've been told about nutrition and 'smart' dieting. In the easy-to-understand narrative -- including many brief success stories -- the reader not only learns about quality (science-based) nutrition, but she also learns specific (and delicious) recipes to accomplish healthy weight loss and optimal nutrition. This book should be required reading for doctors and anyone else who constantly suggest low-fat diets.
