Millions of Americans struggle with losing weight. While many have found temporary success with popular low-carbohydrate diets, few maintain their weight loss. Now a renowned endocrinologist uncovers the breakthrough key to permanent weight loss -- the serotonin factor.

-- Emphasizes the importance of serotonin in reducing carbohydrate cravings and in maintaining weight loss
-- Based on sound medical information and developed by the author of the successful The Type 2 Diabetes Diet Book

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Fat Can Make You Thin: The Revolutionary Weight Loss Program That Turns Your Body into a Fat-Burning Machine (Hardcover)

This is a scientifically based book by an author with unmatched credentials. As an endocrinologist, Dr. Ezrin can explain the reason behind ongoing carbohydrate cravings and the basis for lifelong weight loss. The book is easy to read and the recipes are good. I personally know people who have followed this diet with enormous success.

I've been overweight all my life but this book has me well on my way to better things. I've tried low fat and it never worked. This book spoke to me with authority and intelligence explaining the connection between carbs, insulin, water and fat retention and seretonin levels. I see now why I and so many of my family members are carb junkies. Within a few days I saw unexpectedly rapid results. There's a "wall" you go through after a day or two but once on the other side, low carb eating feels normal and the results are great both physically and emotionally. Give this book an honest try and you will know within a week whether it's right for you!
