The Metabolic Miracle

by Dr. Carlos Jaramillo

Overview

A todos nos gusta comer. Pero lo hacemos mal y cada día peor. Engañados por la industria alimentaria, la publicidad, las fake news gastronómicas y los consejos nutricionales de la tía Bertha, con cada bocado tomamos decisiones nefastas que nos enferman, nos engordan y nos roban energía. ¿Cómo detener esta espiral? ¿A quién creerle y a quién no? ¿Cómo cambiar de hábitos sin volvernos rígidos y aburridos? En este libro, el célebre doctor Carlos Jaramillo ofrece respuestas contundentes a esas preguntas y plantea que la clave para un peso óptimo y una salud plena está en el metabolismo. Entender qué es, cómo opera y qué podemos hacer para que funcione a nuestro favor es fundamental, y es lo que el lector conseguirá en estas páginas. El libro de cabecera para todos aquellos que quieran entender cómo funciona su metabolismo y cómo ponerlo a trabajar a su favor.
