Review Description:
"The T Factor Diet" by Martin Katahn was originally published in 1989 and updated in January 1994. This was one of the first diet books, which promoted reducing dietary fat as a practical way to achieve and maintain good health and weight loss. Dr. Katahn was one of the first to tell us that the total number of calories you eat is less important than the source of those calories. For weight loss, he recommends between 20 and 40 grams of fat per day for women and 30 to 60 grams per day for men. This book presents scientifically proven advice, which remains true today. By understanding the "T factor", in which carbohydrate calories are burned faster than fat calories, you can lose weight quickly and safely, and keep it off all without going hungry. Dr. Martin Katahn explains how to choose foods that naturally maximize the T factor level, thus activating the body's hidden fat burning potential; he also includes exercises, recipes, and meal plans.
