ABOUT
The revolutionary diet and nutrition book and New York Times bestseller
With his revolutionary no-grain diet, online health pioneer, natural medicine advocate, and bestselling author Dr. Mercola will show you how to conquer food cravings and stay slim for life.
The debate is raging from the FDA to the nightly news: Why are 65 percent of all Americans overweight or obese? The USDA says it’s fat.
Dr. Mercola says it’s grains and carbohydrates.
It is finally time for the nutritional truth to come out. The No-Grain Diet explodes the myths of the low-fat diet and reveals the unhealthy aspects of other protein diets, instead providing you with a diet that really works, that is healthy, and that anyone can stay on for life.
No more cravings, no more yo-yo dieting, no more confusion. The No-Grain Diet is the last diet book you will ever need. Be on your way to good health in three days!
“An easy-to-read guide that provides important new information about the health problems and nutritional shortcomings of grain-based diets. Moreover, Dr. Mercola lays out a nutritional plan for weight loss and good health that closely resembles humanity’s original culinary fare: lean meats, fresh fruits, and vegetables.”
—LOREN CORDAIN, PhD, author of The Paleo Diet
“If you are seeking a dietary plan that will truly help you lose weight and be healthy—permanently—read this essential book!”
—JOHN GRAY, author of The Mars & Venus Diet & Exercise Solution
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
