If you are sick of yo-yo dieting, overly restrictive diets that limit carbs or are impossible to maintain, or if you''re stuck in a diet plateau, Eating Free can give you back the food and the life you love--and still lose weight. To date, 2,000 men and women have transformed themselves on the Eating Free program--with an 84% success rate. Other diets, on average, have an 85% failure rate.Developed by nationally recognized, award-winning dietitian Manuel Villacorta, Eating Free works because it''s a scientific solution which targets a complete set of lifestyle factors, not just calories and exercise. What''s more, Eating Free will show you why a little-known hormone, gherlin, can wreak havoc on your waistline and sabotage your efforts, and why almost everything you think you know about weight loss is wrong!Myth 1: Exercise Is Critical for Success. Over 70% of Americans hate the gym or don''t have time to go and according to the Canadian Community Health Service, almost half of Canadians over the age of 12 are considered inactive or don''t exercise regularly. Guess what? You don''t need to spend hours at the gym. Eating Free proves that weight loss is 80% nutrition and only 20% exercise. You''ll learn how to shop, not sweat your way to being lean, and focus on preparing delicious food instead of exercising excessively. Myth #2: You Need to Cut Down on Carbs. With Villacorta''s formula for optimal weight loss--45% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 25% fat--you will satiate your appetite by controlling the hunger hormone ghrelin and prevent muscle breakdown. Myth #3: You Need to Track Your Progress Daily. Instead of obsessing over what the scale reads each morning, you''ll learn why it''s more effective to gauge your body''s needs in weekly increments. With a free online tool, The Free Q, you can score every lifestyle element that impacts your weight loss, including lots of stress and little sleep. This tool helps you live wisely for weight loss each week. No other program demonstrates how these elements play a critical role in weight loss with a free practical tool.

While superfoods have entered the health food conversation in recent years, most people are unaware that many of the most powerful foods on the planet hail from the Andes region—and now, for the first time ever, they are now widely available in the United States.

Breakfast granola with lucuma, a tangy tropical fruit that helps balance high blood pressure. Savory white bean hummus made with sacha inchi, a powerful omega-3s for heart health and brain power. Muffins made with pichuberry, a glucose controller, sugar regulator, and accelerant for flushing fat around the middle.
