Organic chemist Dee McCaffrey cracked the obesity code, and went from obese to thin. She’s still thin years later after she realized processed foods and synthetic chemicals in our food are keeping the weight on all of us. Now, Dee wants us to know exactly how well she eats so she’s produced The Science of Skinny Cookbook. It’s bursting with 175 recipes for clean, delicious food.
Many of the chemicals in foods are a surprise to us, and now they’re surprising science because there is growing proof that these chemicals confuse the body, including the brain. Metabolism signals are going awry, and few people can keep weight off once it’s been lost.
Don’t miss this delicious explanation of how Dee McCaffrey and her family eats now, with pleasure and guilt-free, right down to desserts.
Hi. I heard part of your discussion this week about chemical-free foods, and I think it was Chris who said something like”even hot sauces” have chemicals in them. I thought I’d mention my favorite hot sauce, which is not only delicious but has only three ingredients: aged red cayenne peppers, vinegar, and salt. It’s Crystal Hot Sauce, which is made in Louisiana and is, I believe, the favorite of many in the south. It’s also very inexpensive and delicious, so it’s a real triple threat: no chemicals, great taste, and cheap. Around here (I live in Woodbury), I can find it in Shop Rite. In my opinion, it is just flat out superior to all those “Johnny Come Lately” sauces, like Frank’s, etc. I first discovered it on a trip to New Orleans with your old friend, Maria Orefice (I believe she reported about our “finds” on your show, while we were on the road), and I’ve never switched in the 40 years since! Thanks for the show!
Heard the show last night as I was driving. As a former chemist I was intrigued. Will definitely get the book. Thanks for your insights into the chemistry behind our weight issues.
Thanks for listening, Loretta. We appreciate it!
