How Not To Diet - Week Three with Kathy Taylor - 6D Book Club Explorations!
Welcome to week three of our explorations of How Not To Diet by Dr Greger. This week may hit a little close to home. Every member of Kathy’s family is overweight or obese, not from fat genes but from eating too much of the SAD Standard American Diet, heavy on animal products and processed foods loaded with salt, oil and sugar. Three siblings underwent bariatric surgery with disastrous outcomes and multiple surgeries to repair the damage. A cautionary tale. Thank heavens two of the siblings discovered a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle and were able to lose weight safely and regain their health.
Join Kathy Taylor on a video journey through the landmark book on reversing the world-wide Obesity Epidemic, How Not to Diet by Dr. Michael Greger.
Whether you need to lose 50+ pounds or that last pesky five pounds, Dr. Greger’s evidence-based “tips, tricks, hacks and tweaks” for healthy, fast tracked weight loss will be a support to help you achieve your goal.
Kathy’s weekly videos will chronicle her adventures of discovery and weight loss as she applies the research studies at home.
Kathy Taylor moderates the 6D Book Club groups exploring How Not To Diet and you will find her weekly study guide questions below.
