From renowned cardiac surgeon Steven R. Gundry, MD, the New York Times bestselling The Plant Paradox is a revolutionary look at the hidden compounds in "healthy" foods like fruit, vegetables, and whole grains that are causing us to gain weight and develop chronic disease. Most of us have heard of gluten—a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions. At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world. The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including: Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content. Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption. Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress—and are full of lectins. With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl—and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.

Millions of people say they feel better when they eat lectin-free. Here at last is the cookbook that makes lectin-free cooking fun and delicious! For people who take their health and well-being seriously, gut health is a top priority. Optimum gut health means more than just a well-working gastrointestinal tract. It means you have more energy, you simply feel better, and, not least, you're not gaining unwanted pounds. Among diets that address gut health, lectin-free is the fastest-growing, mainly because following it means your intestines absorb more nutrients and your gut is populated by fewer bad bacteria. Its many adherents range from people with specific disorders, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (and other autoimmune disorders), and "leaky gut," to people who simply feel better without lectins. Easier weight loss or weight maintenance is an added benefit! Claudia Curici is the talented writer and photographer behind the pioneering lectin-free blog Creative in My Kitchen. The 125 nourishing and imaginative recipes she has created for this book are all sugar-, grain-, and lectin-free, and they are delectable and easy to make. Many are dinnertime main courses, from Chicken Coconut Soup with Shiitakes and One Beef Kebab Platter to vegetarian options like Cauliflower Gratin with Pecans and Healing Vegetable Soup with Kale and Broccoli. There are lectin-free superfood smoothies, too, among other drinks and snacks, along with soups, salads, sides, and even desserts, including an opulent but easy Lectin-Free Chocolate Strawberry Birthday Cake. Nourish and protect your gut with these diverse and delightful dishes!

All you have to do to stay healthy is to eat fewer carbs, stay away from sugar, and have a lot of organic vegetables and plants, and exercise regularly, right?Wrong!I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you but some of the 'healthy' plants and vegetables you are consuming are making you sick. You're probably having the exact reaction I had when I first heard of the Plant Paradox diet right now. Personally, I was tired of diets - I hated them. This one comes and stays "Stop eating carbs, they're killing you"While you're still doing the victory dance, happy to have conquered your love for carbs, another one comes and says "Fats are the enemy, eat carbs but ignore fats"Truth is, if we wanted to listen to all the 'professionals' who have 'discovered' something 'dangerous' about the traditional human diet, you and I will probably just stick to eating stones. So when I heard about the plant paradox thing, I just hissed it off. Until I saw a recent photo of Kelly Clarkson next to an interview that she did. She was looking so slim and very beautiful.The interview was about how she lost all the excess weight so naturally, I was interested. She was crediting this same Plant Paradox thing for her weight loss- of course; all my paid sponsorship sensors went up. But something caught my eye (or should I say captured my heart) in the interview, and led me to give the Plant Paradox diet a try. She talked about the fact that many people are on supposed healthy diets, for years in fact, following all of the rules strictly, and still never losing any significant weight, just a few pounds every now and then. She was describing me!Sometimes the scales would even go up after a whole week of following all of the rules and you're almost screaming at the scale "You bloody liar! How could I have gained 2 pounds when I didn't have any carbs or desserts this week?"At that point I had to agree that maybe she was right- maybe Doctor Gundry was right- maybe the so-called healthy foods are not so healthy after all. I decided to try to 3-day cleanse and because I lost 3 pounds in 3 days, I decided to follow through with the diet. Today, I am 35 pounds lighter and my arthritis? Gone! Completely!I have since dedicated my time to letting people know about this amazing diet.Well, it's not a diet for me but a lifestyle change and I hope that you too can make this lifestyle change because the key to the quick and sustainable weight loss and better health that you're seeking may lie with getting rid of the fat-promoting, gut-irritating, cancer-causing, diabetes-inducing, inflammatory protein called Lectins from your diet.
