The IdeaA couple days ago, the lovely ERIN left a comment on this very blog, saying a vegan keto book club would be a great idea... and I just so happened to VERY MUCH AGREE with this! Though I don't know if the vegan keto in me, or the English teacher in me was more excited by this prospect LOL. I asked around in both Facebook groups (Vegan Keto Made Simple and Vegan Keto) and there were AMPLE people who were just as excited about this prospect as I was! THUS, the Vegan Keto Blook Club was born! The BookI put a poll out there (The Obesity Code, Eating Animals, Keto Clarity [and someone added Grain Brain]) and THE OBESITY CODE won, so that will be our VERY FIRST Vegan Keto Book Club Book (Please note that I said FIRST, because I DEFINITELY believe this book club will continue on beyond book 1!!!! A little bit about the book... Everything you believe about how to lose weight is wrong. Weight gain and obesity are driven by hormones—in everyone—and only by understanding the effects of insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss. In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original, robust theory of obesity that provides startling insights into proper nutrition. In addition to his five basic steps, a set of lifelong habits that will improve your health and control your insulin levels, Dr. Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good. What Others Have Said... "Fung zeroes in on why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and offers specific outside-the-box solutions that have emerged as the key to maximizing health." —Jimmy Moore, author, Keto Clarity and Cholesterol Clarity "Not only full of insights but also surprisingly funny. Read it to understand why the world became fat, how to reverse the epidemic—and how to stay thin yourself." —Andreas Eenfeldt, MD, Founder of Dietdoctor.com “Dr. Jason Fung’s explanation of insulin resistance and the accompanying insulin model of obesity is original, brilliant and game changing.” —Zoë Harcombe, Obesity researcher, author of The Harcrombe Diet “A fantastic book that exposes some of the world's most pervasive myths about obesity and weight management. A must read for anyone interested in the science of diet.” —Kris Gunnars, nutrition researcher "In The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung triumphs in explaining the core underlying causes of obesity and manages to simplify it in a way that anybody can understand. If more doctors and people were able to understand these causes and implement Dr. Fung's actionable advice then we would be able to start reversing the obesity epidemic tomorrow." —Sam Feltham, USA Today World Fitness Elite Trainer of the Year Amazon currently has The Obesity Code ready to ship on July 31st, but you can also get the AUDIOBOOK or KINDLE copy, if you like those formats! https://www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight/dp/1771641258 www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight/dp/1771641258 Google looks like it might also have quite a bit of the ebook as well...... https://books.google.com/books?id=FAf6rQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false The CalendarHere is our proposed reading calendar (the numbers represent the chapters!). Every SATURDAY I will be writing my own blog entry on that chapter; every SUNDAY the post will go up in our group to discuss! Feel Free to continue the discussion as long as needed!!! There's no grade for this class HAHA!
And we will finish just in time for the holidays, then we can start a new book in January! YAY! I know it seems daunting to start something now and commit to it for 5 months, but I didn't want people to feel overloaded with information, so I tried to keep it one chapter per week (since we all have busy lives!!!!!) You can always read ahead, then just pop into the group on discussion day/week! AND HOW CONVENIENT IS IT THAT THE BOOK CLUB STARTS THE LAST DAY OF THE CHALLENGE?! :D :D :D The Facebook GroupFind the group on Facebook at "Vegan Keto Book Club"! Again, I will post my own thoughts on each chapter here, then link you over to that page for the discussion! If you aren't on facebook, you can always feel free to contribute to the discussion here and I will transfer your comments to the group! Join us!I look forward to the next awesome 20 weeks learning with all of you! (because truth be told, I've only gotten through the first half of The Obesity Code! I needed accountability (and a kick in the pants!!!) to finish the book, so this is the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY (without seeming too daunting!) Until next time! Vegan Keto Madi
