Dr. Gundry’s Diet Evolution
Along the same lines of The Evolution Diet, its latter counterpart with a slight word change on the cover and a bit of corny wordplay within has been making headlines since its release in 2009.
Thoracic surgeon Gundry has invented many devices now commonly used in heart surgeries. Here, he shows readers how to avoid such surgeries as well as obesity, high cholesterol and blood pressure levels, diabetes and even cancer by outsmarting a genetic code set for survival when food was scarce and physical activity strenuous. Our culture, technology and lifestyles may have changed, Gundry says, but our genes have not. The first part of his three-phase diet aims to break reliance on high-carb, sugar-laden foods. In phases two and three, readers can broaden their eating plans somewhat, but the emphasis is on nutrient-dense, calorie-sparse greens. Some may wince at the “Gundryisms” that pepper the text (“If it’s white, keep it out of sight”; “If it’s beige, better behave”), but many will find them easy to remember. User-friendly exercise and meal plans, as well as recipes for some unusual foods (among them Chicken Under a Brick; Angelic Jungle Princess with Chicken, a Thai recipe adapted from a dish served at a restaurant on Oahu; and “pasta” dishes made with low-cal, high-fiber shirataki noodles) round out this surprising take on the epidemic of obesity-related diseases.
At The Evolution Diet, we’re not concerned with cornering the market of paleo diet books. We want our visitors to get the ideal health solution they deserve whether it’s with The Evolution Diet or another paleo book. For more, check out Dr. Grundy’s Diet Evolution.
