Finally-the ultimate diet for fast, safe weight loss, lifelong health, and longer life, based on more than twenty years of research and the latest findings on appetite and weight. Metabolic specialist Ron Rosedale, M.D., has designed the Rosedale Diet to regulate the powerful hormone leptin, which controls appetite and weight loss by telling the brain when to eat, how much to eat-and when to stop. New research shows that leptin may be one of the body's most important hunger control mechanisms. Control leptin, and you control your weight. Most people's leptin levels are out of control, causing them to overeat and to store fat rather than burn it. The only way to flip the "hunger switch" back to normal is through a diet high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates, saturated fat, and trans-fatty acids often found in processed food-plus just 15 minutes of daily exercise. Dr. Rosedale's 21-day diet plan is simple: Just select from the many foods on his "A" list, including "healthy-fat" foods such as avocados, nuts, olives, lobster, crab, shrimp, goat cheese, Cornish game hen, venison, and more.Then gradually add foods from the "B" list, such as steak, lamb chops, fruits, beans, and so on. A 28-day menu plan and more than 100 recipes, such as Dilled Salmon and Fresh Asparagus, Gingery Chicken Soup, Lasagna, Black Bean Wrap, Raspberry Mousse Cake, and French Silk Pie, make eating the Rosedale way deliciously easy. Weight loss is just the beginning. The Rosedale Diet will make you feel satisfied, reduce cravings, and put you in control of your "sweet tooth." It can even help eliminate or reduce heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other conditions associated with "natural" aging, as many of Dr. Rosedale's patients can attest. You'll find inspiring stories from them-and the power to control your weight and improve your health-in this groundbreaking book.

Permanent results without permanent dieting.What began as small weight loss chain run by an expert nutritionist, has now become the fastest growing franchise - ever, easily out-performing Weight Watchers, with 250 new diet centres opening each month. And now, for the first time, the Curves plan is being brought to the general public so that everyone can benefit from this easy to follow and fast-working programme. The Curves diet works by re-balancing the body's metabolism, enabling fast weight loss that stays off - even when eating normally. The questionnaires included allow you to ascertain which of the two diet plans you should follow for the most effective results. Discover whether you need to follow the calorie-sensitive plan or the carbohydrate-sensitive plan - and for just 2 weeks. After this time, in Phase II, you gradually increase your calorie intake and then in the final Phase III you return to completely normal eating - you need only watch what you eat for 2 days in every month and all the while the weight stays off. In addition to the week by week eating plans - for both types, Curves includes an exercise programme that requires no more than thirty minutes three times a week and promises dramatic and lasting effects.
