From a leading nutrition researcher, this diet book offers easy to follow guidance and meal plans so you can lose the weight and keep it off—without depriving yourself the way other diets require.

As a society, we keep looking for ways to lose weight—preferably ones that are simple, effective, and permanent. When properly  chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the restriction and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.  

In The Power Foods Diet, Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods: 
1.  Reduce the appetite 
2.  Trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed
3.  Increase the body’s ability to burn calories for three hours after meals.  

These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat and often overstay their welcome. The Power Foods Diet will help you to eat delicious foods and simultaneously lose weight.

Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes that include foods we have often been told to avoid, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.
