The Stubborn Fat Fix: New and Improved Low-Carb Healthy Lifestyle

This is a user friendly practical guide to healthy eating and weight loss success. It offers a realistic approach in feeling satisfied (not ravenous!) while following a diet of whole unprocessed foods. This is a godsend to those of us who are metabolically challenged. Not only do these authors gently guide you through weight loss obstacles in order to achieve success, they provide the means to feel good all the time through nutritional expertise.

Excellent book for execuitves and people on a road

This is a real book with real recommendations, especially very useful for people like me who are traveling all the time, spending a lot of time in different places and countries, at executive meetings which usually follow with business breakfast, lunches and dinners where it is complicated to keep diet and in the same time loose wight, get healthy and feel better. It is also important information about your metabolism, blood sugar and controlled diabetes. Highly recommend to everybody who can not follow strict diet and due to work assignments need to spend time in bars/restaurants and have usually limited choice of healthy food but want to be happy, healthy and control weight.

A Real Food Way To Eat Designed For Living In The Real World

Most conventional diets these days encourage you to "eat less, exercise more." But what if you had a diet to tell you to "eat more, exercise less?" Sound appealing? Well, that's exactly what you get from Dr. Keith Berkowitz and his nutritionist wife Valerie in their new book. They know from many years of working with patients that the vast majority of diets are destined to fail before they start because they neglect to deal with the reasons why people gain weight. And the strategy that most people have been told to shed the pounds (eat less fat, consume more "healthy" grains, fruits and veggies, lower your calories, exercise often) has just made matters worse, not better. This book identifies exactly what you need to eat to heal your metabolism from the damage done by these other diets by allowing you to enjoy delicious non-addictive low-carb foods and an occasional indulgence to help you stick to your plan forever. These nutritional tactics are combined with supplementation, controlled exercise, and stress-relief techniques to complement the "fix" you are giving your body. Above all, this book encourages the use of "real food" with a clear plan of action to make you as successful at shedding stored body fat as you can possibly be.

An easy to read realistic weight loss plan

Finally a book that is easy to read and provides a personalized approach to weight loss. The best parts of the book are meal plans, exercises, and easy to read nutrition information as well as quizzes to identify what weight loss plan to follow. The book has inspired me to make a lifestyle change for a healthier and longer life.

Amazing book!

I love this book! The title sold me initially, but the well-written, detailed path to shed weight was truly inspirational and is already working! A must read!
