How to Lower Your Fat Thermostat

WHY DIETS JUST DON'T WORK. Scientific research has finally discovered why most overweight people continue to gain weight despite the discomforts of demanding diets. Once the human body has been programmed to be fat, food restriction triggers a number of starvation defenses that protect the fat stores at the expense of other body tissues. Food calories that would normally provide energy are diverted into fat stores, leaving the dieter tired and hungry. Because food denial makes the body more energy efficient, lost weight is regained and maintained at even higher levels with less food. Diets, therefore, are doomed to failure. WHY REPROGRAMMING CAN WORK FOR YOU. Based upon this exciting scientific research, HOW TO LOWER YOUR FAT THERMOSTAT introduces an entirely new concept in weight management. By lowering that fat thermostat (setpoint) and changing the body's hormonal, enzymatic, and metabolic systems that normally protect fat stores, you will lose weight comfortably--without painful dieting. You'll feel better and enjoy higher energy levels. By treating the problem and not the symptom, you will lose the last pound as comfortably as the first while eating more food than you have been able to eat for years. Most important, this new book gives you a simple but scientific plan for lifelong weight control.
