Eat to Beat Your Diet

Eat to Beat Your Diet shows readers how adding the right foods to your diet can heal your metabolism, reduce unhealthy body fat, and result in the kind of weight loss that can increase your lifespan and help you thrive.   Both informative and practical, Dr. Li offers a four-week meal plan for food lovers; easy food swaps, shopping tips, and more than a month of crowd-pleasing recipes.   “In Eat to Beat Your Diet, Dr. William Li reveals the groundbreaking discovery that the best weight loss medicines in the world can be found in your refrigerator and pantry. Blending the science of molecular nutrition with the ancient food ways of the Mediterranean and Asian cultures, Dr. Li provides a delicious roadmap to harness the power of everyday foods to activate your fat burning systems and create long term health using the magic of your fork.” ―Mark Hyman, MD, Senior Advisor to the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, New York Times Bestselling Author of Young Forever   “Dr. William Li is a very trusted, valued dear friend.
