The Nordic Way ─ Discover the World's Most Perfect Carb-to-Protein Ratio for Preventing Weight Gain or Regain, and Lowering Your Risk of Disease

Based on the practically perfect Nordic Diet, this gimmick-free and scientifically proven approach to eating will help you keep unwanted pounds off for good.

Powerhouse experts Arne Astrup, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller, and Christian Bitz know that the Nordic Diet is the “best diet in the world” for getting healthy and staying lean, even into middle age and beyond. As leaders in obesity research, glycemic science, and healthy living, respectively, they’ve learned that eating a specific ratio of proteins, whole grains, and vegetables and incorporating traditional Nordic ingredients such as rye flour, skyr yogurt, and rapeseed oil into one’s diet are the most effective paths to overall health and stable weight. There’s complex science at work behind the Nordic Diet, yet it’s remarkably simple and delicious to adopt. Readers will be able to see significant improvements in their health and weight—and even prevent the dreaded middle-age spread—without ever having to count a single calorie or eliminate carbs, dairy, and meat. Featuring an in-depth look at peer-reviewed studies that support the diet and more than 60 stunningly photographed recipes, The Nordic Way is the health-forward cookbook that readers need to get and stay healthy for life.

Arne Astrup is the head of the Department of Nutrition, Exercise, and Sports at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, and has built up one of the world’s leading obesity research teams. In 2015, he became part of Weight Watchers’ Scientific Advisory Board.

Professor Jennie Brand-Miller is recognized internationally for her research on the glycemic index, with more than 250 scientific publications. Her trade books under the series titles The New Glucose Revolution and The Low GI Diet have sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide.

Christian Bitz is the head of research at Herlev-Gentofte Hospital in Denmark, and the author of four best-selling books in Europe. He is a regular contributor on Danish TV and the host of his own weekly healthy-living television show.
