A revolutionary new diet based on the latest science that shows the importance of fat in weight loss and overall health, from the #1 bestselling author of the New York Times.

For decades, we have been told that the fat we consume turns into fat in the body, contributing to weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and generally poor health. Yet, even with all the low-fat products, we are more obese and sicker than ever before. What is happening?

Could it be that the most feared group of foods is actually... the most beneficial?

As the creator of the 'Pegan Plan' and author Dr. Mark Hyman explains in the book Eat Fat Get Thin, a growing amount of research reveals the enormous health and weight loss benefits of a diet rich in fat, such as eggs, nuts, oils, avocados, coconut, and other delicious superfoods. That's right - it turns out that the key to weight loss, increased overall energy, and achieving optimal wellness is consuming more fat, not less.

Dr. Hyman debunks some of the most persistent myths against fat and clearly explains the science behind the health benefits of fat. In addition to learning why fat is good and which fats are the best, you will learn how to apply this knowledge in your daily life. With easy instructions, simple and tasty recipes, shopping lists, and more, Eat Fat Get Thin will help you lose weight and stay healthy for life.
