The Waterfall Diet: Lose up to 14 pounds in 7 days by controlling water retention [Paperback]

For women who haven't found success through normal dieting, The Waterfall Diet is a proven, revolutionary and easy-to-follow way to shed excess weight.

Do you eat next to nothing and exercise for hours every week, but find it impossible to lose weight? Do your friends seem to eat what they like, but if you so much as look at a cake you pile on the pounds? If so, your problem may not be too much fat but too much fluid. THE WATERFALL DIET is a revolution in dieting. Linda Lazarides reveals that many women who are trying to lose weight (40% of the female population) would lose weight more effectively if they controlled fluid retention. Linda shows you how to easily identify if fluid retention is your problem and help you to safely lose a stone in seven days. This revised and updated edition focuses more attention to the health benefits of dealing with water retention, which is a major cause of high blood pressure as well as overweight. It is also more practical, as the author proves a 7-day menu plan and provides clearer instructions on how to follow the diet. The new edition will also include a section on water retention in pregnancy and testimonials and feedback from followers of THE WATERFAL DIET.

A Breakthrough for People Who Find it Hard to Lose Weight.
The Waterfall Diet begins with the seemingly outrageous statement that you can literally urinate away pounds of your excess body weight. By drinking less? No. By finding out whether you suffer from hidden fluid retention and then using this diet to control it. Fluid retention looks like fat and makes you overweight, but you can't lose it by eating less. This is why so many people eat next to nothing yet still cannot reach their target weight. There are at least seven different causes of fluid retention. To get rid of it, you have to know which type of fluid retention you have, so that you can avoid the foods which are making it worse, or eat the foods which will make it better. The book contains questionnaires to help you every step of the way, and the diet itself is in three parts. Only the first part (which lasts 2 months) is difficult, but since it is not a low-calorie diet, you may even find it easier than what you are used to. Many people do. If your problem is fluid retention, it really is possible to urinate away up to 14 pounds of your body weight in one week. This is a genuine claim based on scientific research which has been collected by the author by trawling through hundreds of scientific papers. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
