Product Description
A hot new diet that's actually fun-and works!

Permanent weight loss and great health can be found in the produce section of any grocery store. Not just a source to spice up salsa, chili peppers can curb the appetite, reduce unhealthy cravings, increase metabolism, reduce hypertension and even enhance sexual performance. In this bold new book, author Heidi Allison shares with readers the diet she developed that helped her effortlessly lose 90 pounds while eating tasty foods in satisfying portions.

Allison provides solutions to the drawbacks of conventional diets by addressing a variety of health benefits related to chilies. She emphasizes the beneficial effects of capsaicin, an active chemical found in chili peppers. This chemical activates the same neuronal pathways as fat, sending the signal to the brain that you are full. Capsaicin also triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, which makes the individual feel better both physically and emotionally.

Spectacular Southwestern-themed color photographs educate readers on the many varieties of chili peppers. Allison provides readers with "hot hints" on how to incorporate chilies into their diets-even if they dislike spicy foods. Also included are: a complete list of chilies and their associated heat levels, flavors and culinary uses; a two-week menu plan; 150 easy-to-follow recipes; and a workbook to track eating patterns, food triggers and responses to stress.

About the Author
Heidi Allison is a former senior medical representative and hospital specialist for an international pharmaceutical company. She has taught and lectured on various medical topics including pain management and drug protocol. She is the creator of The Chili Pepper Diet and supervised a UCLA School of Medicine research project comparing the differences between a chili pepper diet and conventional low-fat diet. Allison is a successful participant of this diet and has maintained a 90-pound weight loss for over 10 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book!, May 29, 2009
excellent book, lots of great info on hot peppers which I have had great luck with myself, losing weight, greatly reduced cholesterol, much more energy, etc.. Only downfall is Amazon is not packaging their books well anymore, I ordered $100 worth of books that were all thrown in a box and arrived all banged up! This is the 2nd order in a row, I will think twice about ordering again as I dont care for my books being all banged up! They used to use a cellofane wrapper to hold them all together but guess it was a cost cutting measure, sad to see damaged books..
