Book Description

April 14, 2009
The Stubborn Fat Fix WINS THE “BEST BOOKS 2010” AWARD for Health: Diet/Weight Loss Category
 
Do you feel tired all the time? Do you feel hungry between meals, even if you've just eaten? Do you crave candy, soda, or coffee, especially in the mid-afternoon?
 
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a metabolic disadvantage. Most diet plans fail because they don't address the underlying metabolic conditions that contribute to increased hunger and weight gain. In fact, they often worsen the problem by cutting calories and prompting food cravings. This further stresses your metabolism and leaves you hungrier—and heavier—than ever.
 
The Stubborn Fat Fix remedies this by identifying and treating metabolic imbalances. Based on the results of simple quizzes, you'll choose between two eating plans that prescribe the ideal foods needed to repair your metabolic disorder and turn off faulty hunger signals. On both plans, you'll lose weight by doing something that seems counterintuitive—eat more, move less—in order to heal your metabolism. You can even incorporate "luxury" foods—indulging in ice cream, salty snacks, bread, wine or beer, or even chocolate—to stay on track without feeling deprived. A tailored supplement program, carefully controlled exercise, and stress-reduction techniques complete the metabolic cure.
 
Even better, once your metabolism is in balance, you will not only permanently drop pounds but also improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and energy levels for overall better health. Hundreds of the Berkowitzes' patients, like those profiled in the book, have successfully lost up to 70 pounds with this plan.
 
With The Stubborn Fat Fix—featuring more than 30 delicious recipes and the exclusive Fiber Ratio tool created by Valerie to help you get the most out of your favorite foods—you, too, can lose that stubborn fat forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Food Way To Eat Designed For Living In The Real World, April 16, 2009
This review is from: The Stubborn Fat Fix: Eat Right to Lose Weight and Cure Metabolic Burnout without Hunger or Exercise (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy to read realistic weight loss plan, April 15, 2009
This review is from: The Stubborn Fat Fix: Eat Right to Lose Weight and Cure Metabolic Burnout without Hunger or Exercise (Hardcover)
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.
