Product Description
Are you frustrated by low-fat/high-carbohydrate or all-protein diets that don't work? Tired of white-knuckle restrictions or doing math at every meal? Fed up with a constant craving for sugars and carbohydrates? Do you wish you had a magic formula for losing weight and keeping it off? Well, now you do. . . .
From 40-30-30 zone nutrition pioneers and authors of 40-30-30 Fat Burning Nutrition comes a weight-loss program so easy and effective anyone can do it. The Formula actually helps your body to maximize its natural fat burning potential, making it much more than a diet: it's a dietary prescription for living well, feeling great, and performing better.
Here's how it works. When you eat the right proportions of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, you can help your body to automatically unleash its own natural fat-burning hormone--glucagon--the key to getting rid of unwanted body fat while keeping blood sugar steady and energy high. The result? You can learn how to burn fat faster while eating foods you enjoy! Featuring menu plans, shopping lists, and progress charts, The Formula provides a personalized program for each person's specific needs and body type. So whether you're a couch potato, a professional athlete, or somewhere in between, you'll discover:
¸ Five different versions of The Formula--and how to find the right one for your weight and activity level
¸ The 21-Day Fat Flush Formula for accelerated weight loss
¸ More than 200 delicious recipes, including perfectly balanced 40-30-30 fajitas, chili, grilled cheese sandwiches, pork tenderloin, and New York cheesecake
¸ Special Kids' Favorites and Family Style meals
¸ Healthy advice on prepared foods, fast foods, and vegetarian meals
With The Formula, you don't have to give up the foods you love, follow complicated meal plans, count calories or food blocks, or bring a calculator to the dinner table. And forget about feeling constantly hungry or dissatisfied. Here is a dieter's dream--the lifetime secret to losing weight, staying slim, and feeling great!

Format:Hardcover
I have lost over a stone in weight, and almost two dress sizes, in about two months using the diet in this book. The recipes are easy to follow (although being American, cup measurements are used), and I hardly ever felt hungary. It's a completely new way of dieting - not low fat but balanced. Most of the food is available in this Country with only a few substitutes being necessary. It's similar to the Zone diet but I found it easier to follow. It would be nice to have an English version though as sometimes you have to convert the language!

Brilliant book based upon a nice mixture of scientific and nutritional expertise. Recipes are great, and some nice surprises in there too. Good stuff!

This book is a sensible and healthy approach to dieting and, once you get past the explanations, the recipes are easy enough to follow for UK citizens, despite the book being aimed at Americans.
