Full Description
While poor nutrition and disease plagued medieval Europe, a civilization on the other side of the Atlantic - the Aztecs - thrived, thanks to a healthful high-protein, low-fat diet. At its center was an ancient grain known as chia, a remarkable low-calorie, high-fiber seed bursting with omega-3, iron, calcium, and other nutrients. In a world with an obesity epidemic that shows no sign of slowing down, the secret weapon that helped the ancient Aztecs achieve their greatness is back. Now modern Americans can lose weight, boost energy levels, and improve wellbeing by eating the healthy, delicious foods that nourished these traditional cultures. In this highly readable, easy-to-follow guide, physician Dr. Bob Arnot shows readers how to make chia a central part of a daily diet that includes foods high in protein with few fats and oils, no refined sugars, and limited amounts of wheat. Divided into three parts, "The Aztec Diet" begins by showing you how to jump-start weight loss with a two-week chia smoothie plan.
