Product Description
An authoritative guide to healthy eating and living

The Body Sense Natural Diet is not just another diet book. Written by an award-winning author, this book offers a holistic approach to living healthier, eating better, and slimming down, revealing why people can’t lose weight permanently with most of today’s popular diet plans. Providing a thorough examination of why we are fat and how we can change our biochemistry to make us more efficient fat burners, the book delves into a wide range of issues, including obesity in children and adults, lifelong weight management strategies, the emotional aspects of eating, stress and stubborn weight loss, the thyroid’s impact on weight gain, diabetes, and the truth about cardiovascular disease.

Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe (Vancouver, BC, Canada) is the author of many books, including The Immune System Cure and Healthy Immunity. She is currently Associate Editor of Total Health and Alive magazines.

From the Back Cover
Are you one of the thousands of North Americans struggling with your weight? Are you overwhelmed by the number of diets on the market and unsure about what steps to take to get fit and healthy once and for all? The Body Sense Natural Diet is the answer for you. Unlike most diets The Body Sense Natural Diet offers more than a short term answer to your bulging waist line – it is an easy-to-follow, commonsense plan that ensures you win your weight battle once and for all.

The key to permanent weight loss is well hidden. It lies in understanding how each component of dieting affects the hormones that affect thousands of bodily functions. Those hormones conspire to make your fat cells bigger, increase your cravings, tell you to eat more, lower your fat-burning rate, and disrupt your blood sugar. Within the pages of this book you will find the latest scientific breakthroughs in fat loss. By using foods, nutrients, and other factors, you can correct hormonal imbalances and reset your body’s fat-burning furnace, making weight loss easy.

The Body Sense Natural Diet includes:

· 42 days of healthy, delicious, easy-to-prepare meal plans sure to satisfy

· detailed shopping lists that clearly outline foods to feast on and foods to avoid

· an illustrated fitness plan to help you achieve strength and tone

· special sections on dealing with diabetes, beating cellulite and more

When you understand how your body works you can optimize your weight loss efforts and shed pounds forever. The Body Sense Natural Diet is not just another diet fad, but a tested, winning program that gets lasting results!

We found this book very informative. It is well written and addresses the issues of good nutrition with an easy to follow eating plan. The chapter on hormones and weight gain and the chapter on Diabetes were both a help to our family. We look forward to enjoying better health in the years ahead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, October 5, 2007

By	Gail Simmons "Gail" (Independence, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I attended a lecture by Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe and I was compelled to get this book to have more detailed information about why I just don't seem to loose weight no mater what diet I am on. I started reading the book and it was one a-ha after another. There are so many eye opening facts and wonderful suggestions. I started doing them and my body is responding very well. I am so pleased that I went back and ordered 3 more for family and friends.
