Learn about autophagy, the body's mechanism for self-repair, cell renewal and rebooting metabolism in this practical handbook from renowned nutrition expert Patrick Holford. Using the latest research from nutritional science, this book explains how in five days of low carbohydrate and high 'good' fat eating, we can make the most of short-term ketosis to initiate the process of autophagy and kickstart a health transformation.

Written for the lay person and highly readable, this book shows exactly why and how autophagy works emphasising in the process just how important it is for keeping healthy as we age. The author also gives us daily meal plans, recipes and tips for the right way to exercise in order to promote muscle mass and give the heart a sufficient workout.

Offered as a type of fast to follow once a month if you aren't quite a healthy as you might be, or once every season if you are , this is a brilliant resource for all, and includes information at the end regarding supplements, testing and how to progress to the low GL diet afterwards.
