Product Description
Cutting-edge research shows that losing weight is not about carbs, calories, or even willpower—it’s about a hormone called leptin, and how it functions in your body. Leptin is your body’s natural weight-loss mechanism: it curbs your appetite, jump-starts your metabolism, and when working properly makes you literally fat resistant—you will lose weight effortlessly and efficiently and never gain those pounds back.
If you’re struggling to lose weight, chances are you are “leptin resistant”—your body no longer responds to leptin, making it impossible for you to slim down. The Fat Resistance Diet is the first and only eating plan designed specifically to combat leptin resistance and reprogram your body to start melting away the pounds. Using a breakthrough combination of anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods, the three-phase regimen delivers:
A loss of six to ten pounds in the first two weeks.
A loss of at least two pounds a week thereafter.
Fun, flavorful meals that make sticking with the plan a breeze.
An easy maintenance program that keeps you fat resistant for life.
With over 100 delicious recipes designed for maximum satisfaction and eating pleasure, the Fat Resistance Diet is the only diet you’ll ever need—a brand new way to eat that will transform your body into a lean, fat-fighting machine.

Tangy Pomegranates
These are just some of the delicious superfoods that will enable you to lose weight on The Fat Resistance Diet. Not only will you lose 6-10 pounds in the first two weeks, you will also be able to say "I never ate so well in my life!" Because this diet shows you how to lose weight by enjoying more delicious food, with meal plans and recipes that are bursting with freshness and flavor.
As a doctor I will explain in easy to read language how you can benefit from cutting edge science that enables you to lose weight by reversing the biology of fat. I am excited to share with you my clinical experience which demonstrates the remarkable power of nutritional medicine to heal the body and cure chronic health problems like overweight.
But I also want this diet to work for you in the real world. So I asked my family to help me share our passion for delicious and healthy food. And to make it fast, easy and affordable. My son Jonathan, using my guidelines, and his cooking experience in kitchens in France, Italy, Greece, Japan and Hong Kong, created over 100 recipes for your enjoyment. My wife Christina brought her flair and high standards to the wonderful food in this book. Following these special recipes you can create big, appetite satisfying flavors using fresh herbs and spices, instead of relying on butter or cream.
So go ahead and delight in Green Tea Crusted Salmon, Blueberry Flax Pancakes, and even Chicken Parmigiano. We understand that by indulging in healthy pleasures you can stick with this diet and lose weight. That's why The Fat Resistance Diet rewards your efforts to eat healthy by giving you more flavor in each bite.
You'll enjoy fish, chicken and pasta.
You'll get lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
You'll have low fat cheese and yogurt.
You'll delight your palate with new tastes and subtle spices.
And you will take comfort in knowing this all natural program is the healthiest diet you can find. No artificial sweeteners or artificial fats are used, because these can interfere with weight loss. No sugar is used, which means sugar cravings will disappear in two or three days. Instead my diet gives you high quality protein, the right fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other key nutrients to support your health. After a few days eating this way you will feel refreshed, revitalized, and little bit lighter. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
