Dr. Gabrielle Lyon reveals the biggest mistakes Americans make with their nutrition and body composition, especially after age 40. With 75% of Americans overweight or obese, the problem is clear: excess calories from cheap, processed carbohydrates.

Dr. Lyon dissects the metabolic science, explaining why skeletal muscle—the largest organ—is not designed to dispose of the massive carb loads found in the average American diet. Learn the essential strategies, including the 1:1 Protein-to-Carbohydrate Ratio Rule and the importance of Carbohydrate Tolerance, to design a meal plan that maximizes muscle, controls insulin, and guarantees success.
