In the tradition of Eat Right 4 Your Type, mind/body fitness expert John Douillard draws on compelling, ancient wisdom in his common-sense strategy for optimal health. The logical yet revolutionary approach to fitness untangles the mystery of why diets usually fail - even those backed by convincing scientific research. Derived from his years of Ayurvedic study, Douillard's system is based on the conviction that nature knows how to feed us with astonishing accuracy, and that our cravings readily correspond to the foods that nature has provided for thousands of years during the seasons when they are naturally harvested. By eating low fat in the spring, high carbohydrates in the summer, and high protein/fat in the winter, we can restore natural balance to our daily lives while losing excess weight and generating unlimited energy. This empowering book effortlessly adjusts a 5,000-year-old system to fit our modern lifestyles, and includes fat-burning exercises, recipes, and stress-reduction techniques.
