One particular bacterium, Akkermansia mucinophila, is an especially important player among the trillions of bacteria in your body. Akkermansia plays a key role in controlling body mass and metabolism, as well as immunity. Researchers have discovered that people who are lean have more Akkermansia in their gut than obese people. 17 Even among people who are overweight, those with more Akkermansia have a smaller waist-to-hip ratio and their fat cells are smaller in size. 18 Foods like pomegranate, cranberry, turmeric, green tea, and chili pepper help Akkermansia grow in the gut because these foods make the intestines secrete more mucous, creating a welcoming environment where this bacterium thrives. Those foods can even help cancer patients respond to immunotherapy treatments because Akkermansia plays a role in the immune destruction of cancer cells. 19 Known as the ATTICA study, it revealed that those whose food consumption adhered most closely to the Mediterranean diet had a 51 percent lower chance of being obese and a 59 percent lower chance of having abdominal obesity, when compared to people whose eating patterns veered away from healthy Mediterranean- based foods.” Dr Li has written yet another phenomenal book that will become a critical resource for millions of people.

Your blood cells and your immune system are constantly replenished by stem cells to keep them fresh and ready for action. We’ve known for centuries that eating less will help you lose weight, but the unexpected good news is that we’ve now identified certain foods that when eaten can help burn away excess fat. These foods improve your metabolism, which is vital to your health. You read that correctly: eating the right foods can actively promote fat loss and improve your metabolism. Even better, many of the same foods improve your body’s health defenses, too. A triple win.

The prefix “angio-” refers to blood vessels, and “-genesis” refers to growth. Your body is filled with sixty thousand miles of blood vessels that form your circulation—enough to encircle the world twice. These are the highways and byways for blood and everything that’s carried within it. Your angiogenesis defense system delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell in your body. When your blood vessels are healthy, your organs are healthy. This defense system maintains just the right number of blood vessels at all times. Body fat contains at least 15 hormones that instruct other organs, including the brain, on what to do. These hormones influence the health of one's brain, immune system, gut, circulation, muscles, reproductive system, and especially one's metabolism. While fat is vital to the body's ability to function, most people's problem is having excess fat. Now in Eat to Beat Your Diet , Dr. Li introduces the surprising new science of weight loss, revealing healthy body fat can help you lose weight; your metabolism at 60 can be the same as when you were 20; yo-yo dieting can be good for your health; 8-hour fasting windows can be as effective as 12-hour fasting windows; and losing just a little bit of weight can have big impacts on your health.

almost 4 ☆ What you can eat can lower inflammation, boost immune defense, and shrink fat tissue, leading to weight loss. While there are useful nuggets of research and tips, some readers expressed that they expected more specific guidance on incorporating foods into their diets, especially after reading Dr. Li’s previous work. I've told so many of my friends and coworkers about this book. If you truly want to change your life and eat to honor the God-given earthly vessel you were blessed with, you will buy this book and read it. Excess body fat is a true villain when it comes to your well-being, even in slender people. A common misconception is that you only need to worry about body fat if you are overweight. In reality, even if the number on the scale says “you’re healthy,” you can have too much fat. Medical research shows that everyone needs to be concerned about the amount of body fat they carry inside their frame.

In his incredibly empowering and enlightening book Eat to Beat Your Diet, Dr. William Li has given us a crucial tool to understanding how eating consciously can help us look and feel healthier and avoid unnecessary illness. The Edge If the word “fat” triggers a strong emotion when you hear it, you’re not alone. Our language is filled with words like “overweight,” “obese,” and “heavy” that can bring about judgment, discomfort, disappointment, and even fear. We wince when we see the fat on our frame in the bathroom mirror. It makes us feel less healthy. Even in the grocery store, we feel a negative reaction when we see a rind of fat on a cut of meat in the butcher section. Fat has a bad reputation—but I’m here to tell you that fat is not the villain we’ve made it out to be. Once fat improves its blood supply, more oxygen and nutrients flow to feed the cells. But also like a tumor, fat cannot grow if its blood supply is impeded. Researchers have shown in the lab that body fat will actually shrink if angiogenesis is inhibited, and this leads to weight loss. 1 Administering a drug that inhibits angiogenesis can starve fat tissue and cause slimming of the body, even when there is no change in diet. 2 Cutting off the blood supply to tumors is an effective way doctors treat cancer. Now this strategy, called antiangiogenesis, can be applied to controlling body fat. I'm giving this book 3 stars because it has both significant pluses and significant minuses going for it. First the pluses. Simply put, it recommends eating mostly whole plants along with fish. This is how I have been eating for the last 10 years and I do believe that it's the best way to eat. So, if you're eating the standard American diets heavy in meats and processed foods, then this book will guide you to a healthier way of eating and it will improve your life tremendously. Another positive about this book is the author focuses on what foods to eat as opposed to focusing on what foods not to eat. By doing so, he presents the plant-based pescatarian way of eating as a diet of abundance as opposed to a diet of deprivation. I think this positive philosophy is the right way to look at it. The results at one month showed that those eating the traditional Japanese diet lost 2.4 pounds, while those on the modern diet actually gained 0.2 pounds. When body composition was analyzed, these losses and gains were all in fat. The traditional diet eaters lost 7 percent body fat, while the modern eaters gained 1 percent more body fat.”

In his first groundbreaking book, Dr. William Li explored the world of food as medicine. By eatingfoods that you already enjoy, like tomatoes,blueberries, sourdough bread, and dark chocolateyour body activates itsfive health defense systems to fight cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, and other debilitating conditions. This book is pretty easy to read once you get past the harsh truth with photos about your body. I'm definitely going to revist this book and incorporate the recommended foods into my diet. I will read his other book Eat To Beat Disease later this year. Make your metabolism go from good to great with this empowering book by Dr. William Li. Tony Robbins The foods we are now eating taste wonderful, our overall feeling of health has vastly improved, and we are both losing weight. I have only 5-6 more pounds to go to reach my ideal weight. (I am finally off processed sugar and it was painless.)

Eat to Beat Your Diet is a pioneering book that provides an innovative and simple approach toward beating disease and increasing longevity. Dr. William Li shows us how to control your body fat by taking charge of your metabolism. His introduction of the 'MediterAsian' way to eating supports the compelling scientific case that food is medicine.

Louis J Ignarro, PhD, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Author of NO More Heart Disease and Dr. NO Your DNA is a defense system that protects your genetic code against the damage that can be wreaked by everyday exposures, including ultraviolet radiation from the sun; radon from the ground; microplastics in your drinking water; and chemicals released by wall paint, carpets, and furniture. These environmental forces create highly reactive atoms known as free radicals. These atoms behave like rogue samurai warriors slashing at your DNA. Left unrepaired, the damaged DNA can create mutations that lead to abnormal cells and, ultimately, to cancer. 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 Part 2 takes readers on a virtual shopping trip, guiding them through different sections of the grocery store to discover metabolism-boosting ingredients. Dr. Li highlights the foods with strong scientific evidence for fighting body fat and shares his preferred selection for a delicious MediterAsian diet – a combination of Mediterranean and Asian diets. If you are injured and need to heal, or if you are building more muscle, or if you are pregnant and nurturing new life, your angiogenesis system springs into action to grow blood vessels wherever they are needed: just the right amount, not too few and not too many. On the flip side, the system also can adjust itself to prevent too many blood vessels from forming or prune away excess vessels. In short, to maintain good health, you need your angiogenesis system to be operating to groom your circulation.
