Nuestra cultura moderna busca atiborrar la mayor cantidad posible de cosas en la menor cantidad de tiempo. Como resultado, la mayoría de las personas van por la vida a un ritmo vertiginoso que es contrario a un estilo de vida sano. Comemos rápidamente, a la carrera, y muchas veces bajo estrés; no sólo eliminamos así la mayor parte del placer que podríamos obtener de nuestros alimentos y nos ocasionamos trastornos digestivos, sino que causamos estragos en nuestro metabolismo. Al terminar el día, muchos nos sentimos malnutridos, insulsos y con exceso de peso. En La dieta del sosiego Marc David presenta una nueva manera de entender nuestra relación con los alimentos, centrada en la calidad y las posibilidades que ofrece el placer de las comidas en cuanto a transformar y mejorar el metabolismo. El autor cita novedosas investigaciones sobre la bioquímica del organismo humano y resultados satisfactorios en sus propias consultas como nutricionista. Además, nos demuestra que somos criaturas de cuerpo, mente y espíritu y que, cuando prestamos atención simultáneamente a esos distintos niveles, podemos deshacernos del peso excesivo, aumentar la energía y mejorar la digestión, hasta el punto de sentirnos rejuvenecidos e inspirados. Marc David presenta un programa de ocho semanas que permite a los lectores explorar su conexión personal con los alimentos, ayudándolos a liberarse de sus temores, sentimientos de culpabilidad y viejos hábitos para que aprendan a tratar a sus cuerpos en forma digna y afectuosa. Revela los puntos débiles de todos los remedios digestivos rápidos y dietas de moda y echa por tierra los mitos comunes sobre la nutrición, como el de que “la mejor manera de bajar de peso es comer menos y hacer más ejercicios”. En lugar de ello, nos muestra cómo reducir la producción de cortisol y otras hormonas relacionadas con el estrés y estimular el poder metabólico a través de la respiración adecuada y estrategias de alimentación que nutren al cuerpo y al alma, demostrando así que el disfrute pleno de cada comida es la manera óptima de mantener la salud. Con más de veinte años de experiencia en el campo de la medicina nutricional, la psicología de la alimentación y la ciencia del yoga, Marc David ofrece a los lectores recursos prácticos que producirán resultados sostenibles que les transformarán la vida.

A revolutionary approach to enhancing metabolism that enables lasting weight loss and facilitates spiritual well-being • Presents an eight-week weight-loss program • Explains how relaxed eating stimulates metabolic function and how stress hormones encourage weight gain • Shows how fully enjoying each meal is the optimal way to a healthy body 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 this 10th anniversary edition, Marc David presents a new way to understand our relationship to food, focusing on quality and the pleasure of 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. He 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 30 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.
