Your Weight Loss Stall Is Not Your Fault
For years you’ve been told that eating fat makes you fat and that a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Anyone who understands the science of Low Carb dieting knows this is just not true.

In testing, the Fat Fast – 5 Days, 1000 calories per day, 90% from pure fat – resulted in average fat loss – not just weight loss, but fat loss – of over a pound per day! It’s a radical, short-term strategy, but boy, does it work – and it’s based on clinical research.

The Fat Fast Cookbook includes 50 fabulous low carb, high fat recipes that can help you break your weight loss stall or help your body become keto-adapted, catapulting you into Nutritional Ketosis. It does this with 50 great recipes to help you implement the Fat Fast.

About the author

Dana Carpender started her writing career as a self-published author. In 1995, after years of creative low fat cooking featuring whole grains and other “healthy” carbohydrates, and despite five step aerobics classes per week, she found herself a size 20, and gaining! Worse, her blood pressure was rising, and she was left dragging by energy swings. Dropping carbs long before it was fashionable, Carpender lost 40 pounds with no hunger, achieved normal blood pressure and excellent blood lipids, and found herself with more energy in her forties than she’d had in her teens.

Carpender lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband, two dogs, and a cat, all of whom eschew junk food. When she’s not cooking, writing, or reading the latest nutrition research, she power-walks, read mystery novels, and is an enthusiastic Toastmaster, taking the occasional trophy.

Reviews

[Bookfanatic]

Finished this in two days. It's a very short book on how to jump start weight-loss by going on a temporary, extremely low protein/low carb meal plan that's heavy on the fat. The author provides the science behind it, citing studies and her own personal experience. She provides easy recipes that are composed 80%-90% of fat. Too long in America we've accepted the idea that it's fat that makes us fat. Too many starchy carbs make us fat. Studies show that people gain weight on high carb/low fat diets. This book is very interesting reading in light of the obesity and diabetic epidemic in the USA. If you're a vegan, this book isn't for you.

Good background in the first few chapters provides an intro to what low carb, moderate protein, high fat lifestyle is all about.
I first found Dana Carpender via her podcast and wanted to learn more. The recipe's in this book provide a picture of what this type diet or lifestyle would be like. I am interested in eating healthy and have learned it does not mean following the "food pyramid" recommendations.

This book, along with green juicing, helped me lose (about) 70lbs in three months. Enough said.

[DeWayne Gregg]

Great book

I got of good information the recipes that I’ve tried have been worth the effort to make them I highly recommended this book!

[Amy]

I'm a Dana Carpender fan since 2009, having started my low carb journey with her "How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds".. I've used her "500 Low Carb Recipes" and its sequel as well. I've been aware of fat fasting, through Dr. Atkins' writings, but his version was pretty bland. Dana provides some interesting recipes to give variety and satiety to a short-term fat fast.

The most inspiring section in this book, however, is the case laid out for ketogenic diets in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. This is an insidious disease that has laid waste to many in my family, and if eating a high-fat diet can help to protect me, well, sign me up.

I can't wait to try out all the recipes! I just hope I'll be able to find all the ingredients here in lovely Cape Town!

[Flknitter]

I like the recipes in this book for a ketogenic diet. Good variety. This has my favorite mayo recipe.

[Sandra V.]

Short introduction and simply explained this way of eating. I liked the recipes, especially that they are divides regarding the fat %.

[JoAnn Thorson]

Great book

The recipes were really good and the plan easy to follow, great if you are on the go. The coconut bread was the best.

[Chris]

I finished the book portion of this book. I plan on trying out the recipes in the coming days. From what I can see though, everything looks pretty good.
