“An easy-to-follow plan that delivers results.”—Gwyneth Paltrow
“You don’t have to suffer or starve yourself anymore in the name of healthy eating!”—Rob Lowe
“Genius . . . takes all the confusion out of your nutritional choices.”—Jeff Goldblum

Rethink healthy eating, weight loss, and weight management with this revolutionary, science-based guide to resetting your relationship with carbs and fat, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Body Reset Diet and trainer to the stars.

Harley Pasternak has worked with the biggest stars in Hollywood, whipping celebrities into shape for roles and the red carpet. His secret to helping these A-listers may seem counterintuitive, but the proof is in the results: fasting, detoxes, and carb-avoidance don’t work. Losing weight and looking sculpted require a specific proportion of all macronutrients, including the much-maligned and vilified carbohydrate. Yes, you read that right: Lean and healthy people really do eat pasta!

The Carb Reset expertly cuts through the noise of toxic diet culture to help reset your relationship to the foods you love but have perhaps been avoiding. Pasternak details why bread, pasta, rice, and fruit should be a part of every healthy meal. He lays out the right combination and quantity of nutrients that speed fat loss, reduce fat storage, and improve your hormonal balance. The secret is quite literally in your hands, thanks to Pasternak’s ingenious and easy-to-remember PATH acronym: a Palm of carbohydrates, All the vegetables, a Thumb of fat, and a Hand of protein.

The Carb Reset also includes
• clear explanations of the proven science around how and why your body stores and burns fat
• 50 quick-cook recipes, most of which require as little as five minutes of preparation
