Thus, the techniques are based on actual observation of what works to achieve weight loss and maintain the ideal weight once it has been reached. These techniques have been tested by men and women of all body shapes and all with different weight loss goals from losing 10 to 300 pounds. What they had in common: a slow metabolism. With the help of this book you can lose up to 3 lbs of body fat per week by improving your metabolism. It includes help for diabetes and thyroid problems. It also addresses the truth about cholesterol, how body fat is really made, and why fats are not to blame despite of what intense marketing campaigns might dictate.

One in which you can finally eliminate calorie counting, carbohydrate counting, hunger, anxiety for sweets and still feel and look your best? Such a diet has been formulated and is detailed in this book and most importantly, has been put to the test many times over and it works! The author researched and isolated the factors that cause a slow metabolism. Then he unified within one simple system the solutions, natural aids, and techniques to recovering your metabolism once and for all.

Anyone who desperately wants to lose 10 to 50 or more pounds but just can't find the time to exercise three or four times a week will love The Body Fat Breakthrough. It requires just one or two 20-minute resistance-training workouts using negative (or eccentric) training, the little-known weight-lifting technique that shrinks fat cells and triggers fast muscle growth. Legendary fitness researcher Ellington Darden, PhD, put 118 overweight men and women on this workout program and achieved remarkable results, which are illustrated in the book through 35 inspiring before and after photographs. Some test subjects lost 30, 40, or even more than 50 pounds in as many days and transformed their bodies and their health. Negative training is just one of 10 Fat Bombs demonstrated in the book. Others include:• A unique meal plan in which the bulk of calories comes from carbohydrates (50% carbs;25% protein; 25% fat), offering readers an appealing new way to lose weight without sacrifice• Drinking a gallon of cold water a day to stay full and burn calories through thermogenesis• Evening after-dinner walks to accelerate body heat, triggering increased fat loss Dr. Darden's Breakthrough program sheds pounds fast while building and toning muscle in just 6 weeks.

The Abascal Way is a unique diet that has taken an island in the Pacific Northwest by storm. Some 15% of the adults on Vashon have taken the Abascal Way TQI diet classes; a diet now going viral in Seattle and across the country. This simple but sophisticated diet quickly reduces aches and pains, improves the symptoms of chronic illnesses, ignites weight loss, and increases wellbeing. In Michael Overlake's words: "I came to class overweight, my joints ached, I had psoriasis, IBS, and my blood pressure was out of control even on medication. Two months later, I have lost 22 pounds, I am pain free, my IBS is gone, my skin is clearing, and I am off hypertensive medication and my blood pressure is normal." Rex is an inspiration: "I weighed over 300 pounds, was a type 2 diabetic on over 100 units of insulin a day, and could not exercise. Today, my doctor says I am no longer diabetic, I no longer use insulin or any other medication. I have lost 85 pounds and am able to exercise again." Dr. Ronald Singler MD, Medical director of the Highline Medical Group recommends Abascal Way classes: "Kathy Abascal teaches evidence-based, well researched classes on the nourishment human bodies and minds need. The facts, strategies, recipes, and shopping hints are practical and well-prepared. This is the best nutrition class I have ever experienced. I recommend the classes to family, friends, colleagues, co-workers, and patients. All who have taken the class have thanked me. For some particularly stubborn, medically needy friends, I promised to pay for the class if they were dissatisfied. So far, I have not had to pay up." For the first time, these extraordinary classes are now available in book form. The Abascal Way fits all: It works for carnivores and vegans, for mainstream American and traditional ethnic diets. Calories are not counted and portions are not limited. Instead, it offers an incredibly satisfying, effective, and healthy way to quickly improve both health and appearance.
