DON’T DIET this season! Summer is approaching and it is typically the scariest time of year for both men and women who will try to fit into a bathing suit. This year there is no need to follow a starvation diet. Your fat will melt away with the unique strategies outlined in The Stubborn Fat Fix.
At 230 pounds, Michael Sachs was written off by doctors who told him not to come back until he was ready to get serious about shedding his extra pounds. No one would believe him when he complained that he had a type of stubborn fat that would not respond to any of the diets he’d tried. After he followed the eating plan outlined in The Stubborn Fat Fix— he lost the weight!
And he’s just one of many, many women and men who once thought it was hopeless-—that they just could not slim down. Then they discovered the amazing fix to their stubborn fat problem. You can find your fix, too.
The Stubborn Fat Fix shows you how. It will help you get weight loss results and balance underlying metabolic conditions that get in the way of feeling energized. Your motivation and hope will return as cravings disappear, hunger diminishes and you get back your self control. Your weight loss will be amazingly quick and painless. You will NOT feel deprived. You’ll eat foods that taste good and nourish your body.
What Doesn’t Work
DO NOT cut calories or reduce fat. This only makes you want more food, prompts food cravings and leaves you hungrier—and heavier—than ever.
DO NOT deprive yourself. This results in rebound eating.
DO NOT sweat off the weight. This runs down your body and breaks your metabolism.
What DOES Work
DO indulge in chocolate, wine, ice cream, or salty snacks to satisfy your desire to live and enjoy eating!
DO eat metabolism-boosting foods such as avocados, coconut, fish, spices and tea.
DO diagnose your metabolism. In the Stubborn Fat Fix we provide simple quizzes that help you to uncover your metabolic imbalances.
DO rest, especially if you are burned out. For some people, no exercise is better than a lot of exercise.
DO eat high fiber, low carb foods. We’ve created a fiber ratio to help you make better carbohydrate choices.
Just like all the successful patients profiled in The Stubborn Fat Fix, you will be able to permanently drop pounds and improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and energy levels for overall better health.
