Our modern culture revolves around
fitting as much as possible into the least amount of time. As a
result, most people propel themselves through life at a dizzying
pace that is contrary to a healthy lifestyle. We eat fast, on the
run, and often under stress, not only removing most of the pleasure
we might derive from our food and creating digestive upset, but also
wreaking havoc on our metabolism. Many of us come to the end of a
day feeling undernourished, uninspired, and overweight.
In The Slow Down Diet
Marc David presents a new way to understand our relationship to
food, focusing on quality and the possibilities of pleasure in
eating to transform and improve metabolism. Citing cutting-edge
research on body biochemistry as well as success stories from his
own nutritional counseling practice, he shows that we are creatures
of body, mind, and spirit and that when we attend to these levels
simultaneously we can shed excess pounds, increase energy, and
enhance digestion to feel rejuvenated and inspired.
Marc David
presents an eight-week program that allows readers to explore their
unique connection to food, assisting them in letting go of their
fears, guilt, and old habits so they can learn to treat their bodies
in a dignified and caring way. He reveals the shortcomings of all
quick-fix digestive aids and fad diets and debunks common nutrition
myths, such as "the right way to lose weight is to eat less and
exercise more." He shows instead how to decrease cortisol and other
stress-hormones and boost metabolic power through proper breathing
and nutritional strategies that nourish both the body and soul,
proving that fully enjoying each meal is the optimal way to a
healthy body. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience in
nutritional medicine, the psychology of eating, and the science of
yoga, Marc David offers readers practical tools that will yield
life-transforming, sustainable results.
