Zapomeňte na vše, co jste se učili o dietách. Známý endokrinolog Dr. David Ludwig vysvětluje, proč tradiční diety nefungují, a představuje nový radikální plán, který vám pomůže zhubnout bez hladovění a zlepšit zdraví. Dr. Ludwig více než dvě desetiletí vedl výzkum kontroly hmotnosti a jeho průkopnické studie ukazují, že tukové buňky nerostou kvůli přejídání, ale naopak – jsou naprogramovány k růstu, což nás nutí jíst více. O tom, kolik kilogramů přiberete nebo ztratíte, rozhodují tukové buňky. Nízkotučné diety situaci zhoršují, protože tukové buňky hromadí více kalorií pro sebe a zpomalují metabolismus, což způsobuje pocit hladu a nevyrovnanosti. Když se snažíte omezit kalorie, vzniká konflikt mezi myslí a metabolismem, což často vede k přibírání. Kniha odmítá nízkokalorické diety a nabízí třífázový program, který se zaměřuje na tukové buňky. Obsahuje recepty a jídelní plány s pokrmy bohatými na zdravé tuky, chutné bílkoviny a přírodní sacharidy. Výsledkem je, že tukové buňky uvolňují nadbytečné kalorie a vy ztrácíte kilogramy a centimetry, aniž byste museli hladovět nebo bojovat se svými chutěmi.

Lab Girl is a book about work and about love, and the mountains that can be moved when those two things come together. It is told through Jahren's remarkable stories: about the discoveries she has made in her lab, as well as her struggle to get there; about her childhood playing in her father's laboratory; about how lab work became a sanctuary for both her heart and her hands; about Bill, the brilliant, wounded man who became her loyal colleague and best friend; about their field trips - sometimes authorised, sometimes very much not - that took them from the Midwest across the USA, to Norway and to Ireland, from the pale skies of North Pole to tropical Hawaii; and about her constant striving to do and be her best, and her unswerving dedication to her life's work. Visceral, intimate, gloriously candid and sometimes extremely funny, Jahren's descriptions of her work, her intense relationship with the plants, seeds and soil she studies, and her insights on nature enliven every page of this thrilling book. In Lab Girl, we see anew the complicated power of the natural world, and the power that can come from facing with bravery and conviction the challenge of discovering who you are.
