The Hybrid Diet: Your body thrives on two fuels - discover how to boost your energy and get leaner and healthier by alternating fats and carbs
Autor Patrick Holford, BSc, DipION, FBANT, Jerome Burneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mar 2019
Observăm cum, odată cu venirea sezonului rece sau în perioadele de tranziție, metabolismul nostru pare să funcționeze după reguli noi, solicitând o adaptabilitate pe care dietele rigide o ignoră. The Hybrid Diet propune o abordare inovatoare: în loc să alegem definitiv între tabăra carbohidraților și cea a grăsimilor, putem învăța să alternăm între ele, imitând flexibilitatea metabolică a strămoșilor noștri. Remarcăm o logică biologică solidă în spatele acestui plan; corpul uman a evoluat pentru a arde atât glucoza din vegetale, cât și cetonele rezultate din grăsimi atunci când hrana era rară.
Subliniem că această lucrare nu este doar un ghid de slăbit, ci un manual de longevitate. Patrick Holford, un nume de referință în nutriția britanică, și jurnalistul medical Jerome Burne demonstrează cum această „dietă hibridă” poate reduce riscurile unor afecțiuni grave precum diabetul sau Alzheimer. Stilul este unul pragmatic, eliminând frustrarea restricțiilor totale care fac dietele keto tradiționale atât de greu de urmat pe termen lung.
Pe aceeași linie cu Ketogenic Diet de Dan Henderson, volumul de față explorează beneficiile arderii grăsimilor, dar cu un accent pe flexibilitate și sustenabilitate. Spre deosebire de Low Carb High Fat No Hunger Diet, care se concentrează pe o stare constantă de cetoză, The Hybrid Diet ne învață cum să „comutăm” între sursele de energie pentru a optimiza performanța fizică și mentală. Această abordare este o evoluție firească a lucrărilor anterioare ale lui Holford, precum Burn Fat Fast, rafinând conceptul de control metabolic prin integrarea ultimelor descoperiri din epigenetică și știința nutriției.

Descriere
'If you follow the advice here, you will improve your health, lose weight, avoid diabetes and reduce your risk of cancer and Alzheimer's. What more could you ask?' Dr Malcolm Kendrick, GP and author of The Great Cholesterol Con
'A highly readable, smart and well-reasoned book based on the latest generation of rigorous science' Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise, and Adjunct Professor, New York University
Recent research has shown that a diet that is very low in carbs and high in good fats is effective for weight loss, can counteract many diseases and also help athletic performance and endurance. The drawback is that it is difficult to stick to - because most people love carbs. But, as The Hybrid Diet demonstrates, we don't need to choose.
The human body has been designed through millions of years of evolution to burn two different sources of fuel - glucose (which comes from the carbohydrates in fruit and vegetables) and ketones (which are made in the body from fat) - and to switch between them when food is scarce.
The point of The Hybrid Diet is to show you how to make the best use of both options when you need them, and how best to switch between them. In their quest to discover the perfect diet, leading health journalist Jerome Burne and nutrition expert Patrick Holford have examined the latest cutting-edge science and have put together a plan that is sound, simple and delicious - one that is based on how your body works best.
Recenzii
Kieran Clarke, Professor of Physiological Biochemistry, University of Oxford
So many books have been written about the best diet. So many of them written by people who seem to have not the slightest idea about human physiology and biochemistry. Here, Patrick Holford and Jerome Burne have brought together the best, most up-to-date knowledge in the area. This book is detailed and thorough. If you follow the advice here, you will improve your health, lose weight, avoid diabetes and reduce your risk of cancer and Alzheimer's. What more could you ask?
Dr Malcolm Kendrick, GP and author of The Great Cholesterol Con
The Hybrid Diet is a very intriguing and interesting idea. Once we have cut out the table sugar and refined carbs, which create such metabolic havoc, we have a choice; to use fat or low GI 'slow' carbs for fuel. This enables individuals to experiment and create the best diet for their own good health.
Dr David Unwin, winner of Innovator of the Year award from the Royal College of GPs
This is a book that is certainly original and very likely to be provocative. It's refreshing to explore what might work from more than one viewpoint. In a world where there seems to be no middle ground, this book dares to go there. Maybe we don't have to choose between fats or carbs. Maybe we can embrace real food in ways that accommodate both. Maybe the body works better when fuelling itself on either.
Maybe there's something in the concept of a 'hybrid' diet. You probably won't agree with everything in it, but you won't know unless you read it!
Dr Zoe Harcombe, nutritionist
A thoughtful, intelligent, highly informative and practically useful contribution to the seemingly intractable debate on what constitutes a healthy diet.
Joanna Blythman, award-winning food writer
This book couldn't be more timely with the obesity and diabetes spiral at an all-time high. A versatile and accessible solution for anyone who's struggled with weight loss or low energy - essential reading.
Robert Verkerk, founder of Alliance for Natural Health
Patrick Holford and Jerome Burne are superb communicators and their writings are soundly based on the scientific and medical literature and very much at the forefront of nutritional medicine.
Emeritus Professor David Smith, University of Oxford
'The Hybrid Diet is a highly readable, smart and well-reasoned book based on the latest generation of rigorous science. Given the weak state of evidence behind our government's dietary advice, this book is a far better resource than any official guidance for people seeking practical tips, along with the explanatory science on how to lose weight and reverse nutrition-related conditions.'
Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise, and Adjunct Professor, New York University
Variation not moderation is the secret to losing weight and gaining health
The conventional calorie-controlled, low fat, high carb diet has failed to stem the obesity epidemic and has contributed to the rise in lifestyle diseases such as diabetes. Confusion reigns about what we should eat. Fat or carbs? Plant-based or meat?
The Hybrid Diet presents a cutting-edge and incredibly effective alternative - one that matches our body's evolutionary design. We have an inbuilt 'dual-fuel 'mechanism for making the best of periods of feast and famine. This is our ability to run on glucose from carbs and on ketones from the fat we eat and our own body fat. Switch between the two and something remarkable happens - you set up a healthy cycle of growth and repair but also crave sweet foods less, and are able to derive and burn energy efficiently from fat.
The Hybrid Diet helps you:
· Lose weight and maintain your ideal weight effortlessly
· Get the benefits of fasting without going hungry
· Prevent and reverse diabetes and heart disease
· Reduce your risk of cancer and cognitive decline
· Repair and rejuvenate your body, slowing the ageing process
You can tap into this healing cycle simply by switching between a 'slow' carb diet and one high in healthy fats. The Hybrid Diet explains why, when and how to switch and provides you with the simple and delicious recipes you need to do it.
Written by leading nutrition expert Patrick Holford and award-winning medical journalist Jerome Burne, this comprehensive, inspiring and practical book offers a unique way to master your metabolism and improve your health with a diverse range of foods that suit our hybrid nature.
