The New York Times Bestseller!
LOSE UP TO 25 POUNDS IN 8 WEEKS AND KEEP IT OFF!
The human body evolved to resist starvation by holding on to fat. No wonder it's so difficult to lose weight! Now a revolutionary lifestyle plan finally cracks the code for efficient fat loss. Developed by leading nutrition specialist Wendy Chant, the plan is scientifically designed to help you "outsmart" your body's natural cycles for storing and burning calories.
Crack the Fat Loss Code teaches you how to boost your metabolism through "macro-patterning"--a simple routine of alternating carb-up, carb-down, and baseline days. There are even built-in cheat days, so you can enjoy the foods you love. Once you get your eating habits on schedule, you'll find that you can lose weight . . . for good.
In just eight short weeks, you'll be able to: - REPROGRAM YOUR BODY--to burn the fat and keep it off.
- FEEL HEALTHY, NOT HUNGRY--with limitless food options.
- CONQUER THAT DIET PLATEAU--once and for all.
"Crack the Fat-Loss Code brings you the most sensible solution to permanent weight management I have seen."
--Frederick C. Hatfield, Ph.D., bestselling author of Bodybuilding: A Scientific Approach, Hardcore Bodybuilding, and Ultimate Sports Nutrition

I've read many "weight loss" type books and found this one to be a valuable addition. Along with providing the background and the reasons that many "diets" are ineffective there are (a few) recipes and some helpful checklists and logs to use.
Many diet books are about 50% recipes that I'd never even try. The book's recipes are quite doable and the few I've tried are quite tasty. Also the "basic pantry" setup is a good resource so you always have the necessary ingredients on hand and ... Read More

This book is great! It's something I feel I can do for the rest of my life! It's so clear and easy to do. I've already lost weight and can't wait to lose more.

Read about this book in First magazine[ with testimonials of people who have lost weight using it] so I ordered the book thru Amazon. In the current climate of low and no carb diets, this is about carb cycling to teach your body to use fat for energy. She explains that the body gets energy 1st from food; 2nd from glycogen stored in the muscles, because it's more easily available than the 3rd source which is fat. You only do 1 virtually no carb week to rid the body of most of the glycogen. Then you ... Read More

I found this book to be fascinating and to really make sense to me. I have been following Wendy's plan for the past 4 weeks and my results have been very good so far.

How to Lengthen Your Lifespan
Why Men Die First: How to Lengthen Your Lifespan by: Marianne J. Legato It is a universal fact that men die before women. But the causes of this have long remained unexplored. In this trailblazing book, Dr. Marianne Legato--an expert in gender specific health--examines the reasons behind men's fragility and explains what they need to do to live longer.
A bestselling author and Professor of Medicine at Columbia University, Dr. Legato shows how the forces of culture and biology conspire against male mortality. Drawing on the latest research and narrated through the lives of her patients, she delves into problems that both men and women care about-- from why the male fetus is at greater risk, to why boys have a hard time adjusting to school, to how elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol make men more prone to aggression and why they are more likely to die from cardiac arrest or cancer and even depression.
Why Men Die First offers specific advice on what men can do to live better, including
- how on-one time with young boys reduces anxiety and attention deficit problems
- lifestyle changes that can prevent cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis
- why young men take on high risk endeavors and how to decrease the stress
- how to cope with mid life depression and feelings of emasculation and uselessness
- how testosterone shots can mitigate the unpleasant symptoms of aging
Dr. Legato brings the possibility of both mental and physical wellbeing to men in this compelling and inspiring book. A superstar physician, celebrated annually in New York Magazine's Best Doctors Issue, Dr. Legato is well poised to take on this urgent topic with her unimpeachable authority and natural warmth.
