It is no secret that the United States is facing an obesity epidemic with the obesity rates continuing to rise year after year. According to the Center for Disease Control, one third of Americans are now obese. It is no longer sufficient to simply point out the health risks of obesity to our patients as the reason to lose weight. Patients are seeking guidance in terms of what specific diet plan to follow and what foods should be eaten. There are thousands of diets on the market with new ones introduced daily. Not all diet plans have proven results, nor will they work for every patient. More importantly, not all diets marketed to the public are safe to follow for an extended timeframe. In fact, research shows us that diet composition is not the key to long term success, but compliance to a calorie deficient diet is the solution. So how does one choose which diet plan to recommend to patients?

Finally, a book for clinicians is here to help answer this question. This book provides information to help patients understand several different research proven diets on the market today including: the Atkins diet, the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, the I diet, the Mediterranean diet, Paleo Diets, South Beach, Vegetarian diets, Weight Watchers, and the Zone diet. Each diet is carefully and thoroughly reviewed in this book by some of America’s top obesity medicine and weight management specialists to provide health practitioners a knowledge of the diet composition, current research evaluating the diet, typical weight loss results, the pros and cons of the diet as well as which patients would most benefit from each diet plan.

This book provides the necessary tools for clinicians to feel comfortable discussing several of the more popular and scientifically researched diets with patients. This book offers solid information to advise patients, based on their specific health history, on which diet will afford the greatest chance for success.

THE AGE-DEFYING DIET provides a revolutionary solution to unwanted weight increase in your 40s and 50s. NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author, Dr Caroline Apovian, has developed a ground-breaking programme that outsmarts the body''s ageing processes and enables readers to reverse the metabolic clock. New studies show that ageing changes the nutritional needs for both men and women in drastically different ways. Muscle loss, which naturally comes with age, thwarts efforts to fight fat and slows metabolism. Diets that seemed to work in your 20s and 30s only sabotage your efforts in your 40s and 50s by slowing your metabolism and leading to dangerous yo-yo dieting. Dr Caroline Apovian has the solution to the unwanted weight increase: Metabolism Reboot. Drawing on her clinical experience and the latest science and research, Dr. Apovian has created a simple 3-week plan that reveals exactly how to combat the effects of aging. By combining the powerful metabolism-boosting effects of intermittent fasting with targeted strength-training exercises, readers will lose weight fast, but they will also fix common complaints of ageing, including night sweats for women and low-testosterone for men. THE AGE-DEFYING DIET will help you burn fat, have more energy and look younger.
