Frustrated with spiraling healthcare costs related to the treatment of conditions including overweight, obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and heart disease, Dr. Gerber focuses on prevention and treatment programs using low-carb high fat (LCHF), Ancestral, Paleo, and Primal diets to treat and prevent these chronic conditions. He rigorously maintains a database of patients, looking at weight loss and improved cardio-metabolic markers, demonstrating the benefits of these types of diets. Thus if someone has 5% cardiovascular risk and a positive CAC (1 or>), they need to lower their ApoB <80 or LDLp < 1,000. And I didn't know much about things like what exactly are HDL & LDL cholesterol and what is insulin and how does it work.

The advice to have a CAC, coronary artery calcium scan done to find your CAS Score. I have been a radiation worker for forty years, six years with nuclear reactors, and 34 years working on diagnostic imaging equipment, X-ray machines. X-rays are not harmless, the more people who receive more exposure than absolutely necessary the more people who may suffer health issues caused by the radiation exposure. I think they are reacting to the Ancel Keys disastrous seaqueway to high carbohydrate low fat diets as the only healthy diet. This does not work. You cannot stay on a diet for life if you are always hungry unless you are the 5% in the NWCR (National weight control registry) This is all about WILL POWER which can't be sustained over 5-10 years with terrible hunger caused by a low calorie diet and low leptin. Fasting is a draconian measure over the long term. Talk about the amount of willpower needed for that.Nutritional sacred cows are constantly being challenged in the media. How much fat should we eat -- and which kinds of fats are best? Which fats can contribute to diabetes, heart disease, and early mortality? Does a high-protein diet increase muscle mass and lead to vigorous health -- or can it promote aging, cancer, and early mortality? Which vitamins and minerals should we be taking, if any? How do we change our metabolism so that our bodies burn fat instead of all the sugars we consume? Does intermittent fasting really work? Eat Rich, Live Long lays out the truth based on the latest scientific research. Part2 of Eat Rich Live Long has three chapters: one explaining carefully how a low carb high healthy fat diet (LCHF), one laying out a 10-step program to implementing a dietary shift and one with low-carb recipes.

I have made this recipe many times. It is easy and oh-so delicious. You have a choice of slow cooking or pressure cooking, and I’ve provided This is a horrible title for this book. Along with the bad title we see pictures of food on the cover. This makes you think it is a diet book. Yes there is one chapter giving recipes to food that won’t kill you but that is not what this book is about. Full Book Name: Eat Rich, Live Long: Mastering the Low-Carb Keto Spectrum for Weight Loss and Longevity Dr. Jeffry Gerber has no financial ties to pharmaceutical, diagnostics or medical device companies. He has no financial ties to the food industry. The authors neglect the science that the excess fat cells the obese have never disappear even with Bariatric surgery. The large number of shrunken fat cells in the reduced obese have a very low leptin level.To not mention the PCSK9 treatment option reflects a very biased approach to the medical treatment of high ApoB (lipoprotein particles) Millions of people have gotten healthy through low-carb plans over the years--and a growing number have discovered the wonderful benefits of ketogenic (Keto) nutrition.

I am a Fellow and Board Certified in the National Lipid association. The preponderance of excellent random controlled trials, double blinded with large number of people in study for significances validates the rule: the lower the ApoB (lipoprotein particles not cholesterol) the better outcomes in mortality. Ivor Cummins is a world-renowned chemical engineer with a long career in the medical device and other industries. Although he has been in many roles as technical leader, his specialty is leading teams in complex problem-solving efforts. I found out about this book by watching an interview with one of the authors, Ivor Cummins, on YouTube. I would never have looked at the book based on the title/cover. This book is so full of great information such as why we are getting heavier and heavier, insulin as a master gauge of chronic disease, fixing heart disease, the truth about cholesterol that you Dr’s not telling you, meal planning, and some of the most delicious recipes, one of which I have for you today.You can take control of your health, lose weight, prevent disease, and enjoy a long and healthy life.

I have that opinion because in one book it contains a summary and expansion on good, accurate, improved dietary advice and the history of why we have been given bad advice for so long based on flawed research, forceful personalities, and suppressed / ignored research that disagreed with the so-called "experts" that I have read about in many other books over the past couple of years. Books by; Gary Taubes, John Yudkin, Robert Lustig, Jason Fung, Nina Teicholz, Timothy Noakes, and several others. And this book mostly agrees with those books and condenses the information into one volume. In recent years Ivor has continued his professional development by becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Project Management Professional (PMP); he also completed an Innovation and Entrepreneurial Management Certificate with Stanford University. In 2015 he was one of 6 candidates shortlisted from 500 for the title of Irish Chartered Engineer of the Year. Ivor lives in Dublin, Ireland, with his wife and five children. Dr. Gerber trained at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia and graduated in 1986. He completed a medical Residency in Family Medicine at Abington Memorial Hospital in 1990 and was board certified in Family Medicine in 1991. Dr. Gerber sits for the Family Medicine re-certification exam every ten years and attends continuing medical education programs on a regular basis. He is Level II certified by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to treat work related injuries.Also, it is very amusing to see Ivor, an engineer, teaching most doctors how proper science is made. If you ever heard Ivor talking, you'll know that the book was written by that lovely irish clever jester. Ah! At the end of each chapter there is a short story regarding real doctor Gerber's patients. Inspiring! This book is great for the curious and motivated person, but not necessarily scientific-knowledged, who wants to learn and apply low-carb/keto diets for its benefits in treating/reversing metabolic damage caused by Westernised diets. The authors fail to recognize the necessity of statins, niacin and Zetia to treat high CAC score or secondary cardiovascular disease or the very high ApoB of Familial Hypercholesterolemia
