The Carb Reset: Store Less Fat, Burn the Rest, and Harness the Power of Carbs to Lose Weight - Harley Pasternak

Rethink healthy eating, weight loss, and weight management with this revolutionary, science-based guide to resetting your relationship with carbs and fat, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Body Reset Diet and trainer to the stars.

Harley Pasternak has worked with the biggest stars in Hollywood, whipping celebrities into shape for roles and the red carpet. His secret for helping these A-listers may seem counterintuitive, but the proof is in the results: fasting, detoxes, and carb-avoidance don't work. Losing weight and looking sculpted require a specific proportion of all macronutrients, including the much-maligned and vilified carbohydrate!

In The Carb Reset, Harley guides readers through how and why your body stores or burns fat, expertly cutting through the noise of toxic diet culture. He details why bread, pasta, rice, and fruit should be part of every healthy meal, and he lays out the right combination and quantity of nutrients that speeds fat loss, reduces fat storage, and improves your hormonal balance. The secret is quite literally in our hands thanks to his ingenious PATH acronym (a Palm of carbohydrates, All the vegetables, Thumb of fat,and a Hand of protein).

The Carb Reset includes:

• 50 recipes, most of which require as little as five minutes of preparation, and can be put together in 20 to 30 minutes.
• Two weeks of meal plans with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free swaps and an "add a treat a week” strategy to work in your favorite dessert or snack.
• Handy line illustrations of "PATH plates” that show you how to put meals together at home.

The Carb Reset puts readers in control of their health, resetting their relationship with the foods they love and thought they had to forego, while reshaping their approach to eating well for life.
