Perfect Metabolism Plan: Restore Your Energy and Reach Your Ideal Weight

Brief Description: "We all know the stats: more of us are obese than ever before. We have a diet and weight loss industry that rakes in billions per year, and yet almost everyone who loses weight puts it back on and then some. This yo-yo dieting is not just frustrating to the dieter, it's extremely detrimental to the heart, joints, and bones--worse, some research suggests, than remaining fat. This book's message is that an inability to lose weight or keep it off has never been about a failure of will, it's about a broken metabolism. No diet will stick until the underlying metabolic issues are resolved. Vance offers 10 proven keys for fixing or resetting your metabolism: Break Up with Sugar Fix Your Fats (eat healthy fats) Heal Your Gut (probiotics) Identify Food Intolerances (foods that make you foggy, fatigued, sick, and fat) Lose the Toxins (in household products, body care products, etc.) Put Out the Fire (beware acidic foods and other foods thatcause inflammation) Stop the Madness (stress) Ditch the Convenience Foods (even the so-called healthy ones) Hydrate! Exercise Smarter (not harder) The Perfect Metabolism Plan is smartly organized with a very approachable tone, and includes a 3-phase cleanse and about 50 recipes. Readers will also discover that a well-functioning metabolism controls much more than their weight. They'll find themselves more clear headed, more energetic, less frequently under the weather and better able to rebound, less achy, and more!"--Review Quotes: "Important, accessible, smart.
