Eat Fat, Get Thin: Why the Fat We Eat Is the Key to Sustained Weight Loss and Vibrant Health: 5 (The Dr. Hyman Library)

Product Information

Fat in food shouldn’t be demonized like it is; that’s sugar’s place. (And in some cases due to the individual… bread, dairy and some grains belong on that pedestal of shame as well) We feel that it is important to note that Eat Fat, Get Thin was apparently aware of the strong experimental data connecting saturated fat intake to reductions to cholesterol and heart disease. In a later section of the book, the book references a 2014 review that also concluded that there was convincing evidence from both randomized control trials and prospective cohort studies that partial replacement of saturated fat with mono- and polyunsaturated fats is likely to lead to decreases in total and LDL cholesterol. The paper also concluded that there was convincing evidence that replacement of saturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fat will decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in men.

I care as much as Dr. Hyman does, so I felt compelled to speak out. Was a certified Natural Therapeutics Specialist and Licensed Massage Therapist for more than twenty years, have a firm foundation. Also worked for physicians for about fourteen years and know how and what they think. I believe Hyman cares, but... I do have concerns. Guys like Chopra and Oz, with their new-age piecemeal unqualified advice outside their profession, worry me. I almost wish that Eat Fat, Get Thin had been divided into two books. One book presenting the historical overview, the scientific research, and the essential philosophy behind the concept of eating fat to lose weight. The other book presenting his 21 day weight-loss plan. The first book which I imagine consisting of Part I and Part II (How Did We Get Into This Big, Fat Mess? and Separating Fat From Fiction), I would have given three stars. The second book which I imagine consisting of Part III and Part IV (The Eat Fat, Get Thin Plan and Eat Fat, Get Thin Cooking and Recipes), I would have given one star--or perhaps two--if I'm generous. I read a lot of books like this. I enjoy the research and and posture the authors adopt. They all think their book is the definitive answer to what ails people. But putting that aside, I also love the research that is coming out and how this area is constantly evolving to a better understanding on how the body functions and what it needs to stay healthy. I grew up on the four basic food groups and the food pyramid that replaced that. I grew up thinking eating fat was bad, so I find that where modern research is taking us now, is kind of fascinating.He approves delicious meats! Loads of veggies, fruits, nuts, potatoes, and all the brain-feeding fats such as ghee, butter, avo, and various other *good* oils. Canola, you’re not welcome here. He refers to questionable sources of information like the Weston Price Foundation and the notorious AIDS denialist Peter Duesberg. When considering review papers, Eat Fat, Get Thin also misrepresents the data. For example, Eat Fat, Get Thin cites a review paper of clinical trials comparing low-carb and low-fat diets. This review reported that 4 out of 8 randomized control trials showed better weight outcomes for low-carb diets when compared to low-fat diets at 6 months. However, the rapid initial weight loss for low-carbohydrate diets is well known and may involve changes in body water compared to low-fat diets. Importantly, this initial benefit in overall weight loss does not typically last over time. When we look at differences in weight loss at one year rather than just the first 6 months, we see that the difference is small and not statistically significant. This data is available in the same paper cited by Eat Fat, Get Thin. The book cites one other review paper worth discussing which is presented as the “final nail in the coffin for proving that high-fat diets did much better than low-fat diets for weight loss”. The main conclusion of the review, however, is that low-fat diets and high-fat diets show similar amounts of weight loss. There was a small but statistically significant difference observed between very rigorously delivered versions of very-low-carb diets when compared to low-fat diets. But even the difference in weight between these two groups was only about 2 pounds, which is clinically insignificant. Additionally, there was no difference in weight loss between low-carb and low-fat diets when comparing the less restrictive low-carb diets, which is the diet pattern prescribed by Eat Fat, Get Thin. Again, this data ultimately undermines the claim made by the book. One other key study presented by Eat Fat, Get Thin, is a review paper by Dias et al. The book uses this study to make the argument that saturated fat intake is not problematic for health if there is an adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids. However, most of the data reviewed by Dias et al. actually shows that higher levels of saturated fat intake contribute to poor cholesterol levels and heart disease risk. The paper does highlight that many previous studies have not accounted for the intake of omega-3 fatty acids in their analyses. As omega-3 fatty acids may have a protective effect against heart disease, the authors suggest that future studies need to consider this as a variable. However, at no point does the cited paper present evidence that directly supports the hypothesis that intake of omega-3 fatty acids will actually provide protection in the presence of high saturated fat intake. This claim received a score of 2, indicating that it is weakly supported by current evidence. Most of the research presented by Eat Fat, Get Thin is in relation to breast cancer and prostate cancer. So let’s first take a look at some of the arguments and evidence provided by the book as it relates to breast cancer. Eat Fat, Get Thin states, “Many large population studies found, for example, that increased fat intake was linked to breast cancer, but then when large randomized controlled experiments were done to assess true cause and effect, no link between dietary fat and breast cancer could be found.” To support this statement they cite a meta-analysis conducted by Brennan et al. which evaluated 15 prospective cohort studies. This study actually concluded that there was a link between saturated fat intake and breast cancer. Eat Fat, Get Thin suggests that there are randomized controlled trials disputing this conclusion, however, they provide no evidence of this. We do note that in the Brennan et al. paper the authors discuss two randomized controlled trials that evaluated the link between fat intake and breast cancer. It is possible that this is what Eat Fat, Get Thin is referring to. However, one of these RCTs actually did demonstrate a link between saturated fat and breast cancer while the other did not. Limitations of both RCTs are discussed by the authors, primarily that in these two studies many dietary and lifestyle factors were adjusted as part of the study interventions and therefore it is hard to isolate the specific role that fat may or may not have played. The paper actually concludes that reducing both total and saturated fat is likely to be beneficial for cancer outcomes. A more recent review of dietary patterns found that diets low in saturated fat are associated with lower breast cancer risk. Additionally, a population level study found a correlation between per capita fat intake in 88 countries and breast cancer incidence. They found a strong positive correlation suggesting that the higher a country’s fat intake the higher the rate of breast cancer incidence, although we do not consider this to be particularly compelling evidence as there are many behaviors, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can differ between countries and it is impossible to account for all of these variations. These data taken together suggest a possible relationship between breast cancer and saturated fat intake.

I’ve been trying to lose weight for several months now, and this book really helps me determine what I should eat, and helps me feel good about those decisions.The claim received a score of 1, indicating that the claim is greatly overstated. As noted previously, while there is epidemiological evidence to support the claim made by Eat Fat, Get Thin there is also much that disputes it. Stronger forms of evidence such as randomized controlled trials and metabolic ward studies are unsupportive of the claim made by the book. Additionally, dietary patterns low in saturated fat appear to be beneficial for both cholesterol and heart disease outcomes, particularly when compared to dietary patterns higher in saturated fat. Overall, the claim made by the book does not line up with the bulk of the scientific literature available. Overall (average) score for claim 2 Eat Fat, Get Thin is based on the premise that you can, as the title suggests, get thin by eating more fat. Written by Mark Hyman, MD, Eat Fat, Get Thin contends that many of our health problems, including excessive weight, are primarily caused by following low-fat diet advice. The book suggests that a diet high in fat, particularly saturated fat, will reduce the risk of a long list of conditions including heart disease and cancer. It also recommends substantially reducing the intake of whole grains and eliminating the intake of refined grains and processed foods. The claim received a score of 2, indicating that the claim is moderately overstated. In some cases, such as with prostate cancer, there did appear to be conflicting evidence. However, for other types of cancer, such as breast cancer, the relationship with fat was more apparent. Overall (average) score for claim 3 Eat Fat, Get Thin makes a wide range of claims. Therefore, we chose to focus on the main claim of the book, that eating fat will help you become thin, and the two most deadly chronic diseases brought up by the book, heart disease and cancer.
