Tony Robbins The problem comes when your diet causes your preadipocytes to become overly active and create too many fat cells. Too much fat disrupts your hormones, so your preadipocytes need to be reined in. Foods such as blueberries, goji berries, and turmeric have restraining power over preadipocytes, taming them so that they do not create too many new fat cells. 10 I was anticipating so much info in this like I read in Dr Li’s previous book, Eat to Beat Cancer (which was great), but I was just a tad bit disappointed.

The best news, however, is that you don’t need drugs to cut off fat’s blood supply. This approach has been borrowed to study the effects of food because many foods contain natural chemicals that can cut off the blood supply to fat and shrink it. Green tea, for example, contains a bioactive compound called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. 3 Clinical studies have tested extracts from green tea and shown that people drinking them have reduced abdominal fat and waist circumference. 4 Researchers at Inha University in Korea examined 10,030 subjects in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study and found that women who consumed four or more cups of green tea per week had a 44 percent decreased risk of abdominal obesity. 5 All this to say: Dr William Li's first book , Eat to Beat Disease, showed us how eating the right foods can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, while also extending our lifespan and improving our overall health. Building on this groundbreaking work, Dr Li now brings us Eat to Beat Your Diet, a revolutionary, science-based approach to weight loss. Eating more of the right foods and adopting a "MediterAsian" diet (combining the best of Mediterranean and Asian diets) can promote fat loss and improve our metabolism in as little as 21 days. When Dr. Li speaks, I don’t just listen, I eat what he says because with his huge brain and ever-curious mind he has helped me understand that food isn’t just something to fuel our days — it might just be fundamental to how many days we get to enjoy.”If you are injured and need to heal, or if you are building more muscle, or if you are pregnant and nurturing new life, your angiogenesis system springs into action to grow blood vessels wherever they are needed: just the right amount, not too few and not too many. On the flip side, the system also can adjust itself to prevent too many blood vessels from forming or prune away excess vessels. In short, to maintain good health, you need your angiogenesis system to be operating to groom your circulation. You are living with a chronic condition such as heart disease, diabetes or an autoimmune condition. It is increasingly clear that our body fat does far more than just tip the bathroom scale. Fat plays such an important role in the human body that it should best be considered an organ, not just tissue.
