When it comes to weight loss, you often find yourself switching to different diets and exercises to break the monotony. Avoid sugar and fats: One of the concepts in Don't Eat for Winter is that human breast milk contains the optimal formula for infants to put on weight. It is the same practically the world over and is therefore a one-size-fits-all formula. It is no coincidence that in nature, in autumn, the macro-nutrient ratio of foods begins to mimic this formula, whereas in spring the nutrient ratio mimics that of a bodybuilders diet. It is also no co-incidence that the foods that taste really really good also mimic this formula e.g. chocolate, crisps, cakes and so on. We go ga-ga for mother's milk! Look out for foods that contain this formula of high carb, high fat and moderate protein. It triggers primal gorge instincts and is designed, by nature, to deposit fat quickly.
This plant might look like a red-hued celery, but if you've ever been adventurous enough to cook with it, you know that this vegetable is much more flavorful than its vibrant twin. Tart rhubarb loves to partner with fruit to become a sweet treat. (Just don't eat the leaves—they're poisonous!) Rhubarb is high in catechins, the same compound that gives green tea its belly-fat fighting properties. Catechins blast adipose tissue by triggering the release of fat from fat cells (particularly in the belly) and then speed up the liver's capacity for turning that fat into energy.
