What if everything we thought we knew about being 'fat' was wrong? What if being overweight or obese was really a symptom of your body’s response to a chronic underlying health condition? Stephen Perrine is here to tell you that it is, and that condition is inflammation.

When you control inflammation, you control your destiny. You control your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels; you reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases; you slash your cancer and heart disease risk; and you free yourself from many sources of chronic pain, skin conditions, and autoimmune issues. And, as a side effect, you will see the emergence – the permanent emergence – of a leaner, healthier body.

The majority of weight-loss programmes are trying to cure the symptom. This book will show you how to cure the disease, starting with the seven-day Power Plant Program that you can follow for life, if you choose.

When you stop thinking of yourself as overweight or obese – and stop buying into the idea that you can change your weight or the shape of your body by eating fewer calories, or by burning off more calories, or by magically changing your metabolism – you can start to address the real issue.

You see, you’re not fat. You’re on fire.

You’re Not Fat, You’re on Fire will give you all the science and strategies you need to understand the problem, extinguish the flames, feel great and, yes, lose weight too.
