GIVEAWAY & REVIEW: 21 Day Weight Loss Kickstart by Neal Barnard MD

March 31, 2011 By Mary

Description

For years, Dr. Neal D. Barnard has been at the forefront of cutting-edge research on what it really takes to lose weight and restore the body to optimal health. Now, with his proven, successful program, in just three short weeks you’ll get fast results-drop pounds, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve blood sugar, and more. With Dr. Barnard’s advice on how to easily start a plant-based diet, you’ll learn the secrets to reprogramming your body quickly:

· Appetite reduction: Strategically choose the right foods to naturally and easily tame your appetite.

· Metabolism boost: Adjust eating patterns to burn calories faster for about three hours after each meal.

· Cardio protection: Discover the powerful foods that can help reduce cholesterol nearly as much as drugs do in just weeks.

Whether you are one of the millions who are anxious to get a jumpstart on weight loss or who already know about the benefits of a plant-based diet but have no idea how or where to start, this book is the kickstart you’ve been waiting for. Complete with more than sixty recipes, daily meal plans for the 21-day program, tips for grocery shopping, and more, this book will teach you how to make the best food choices and get your body on the fast track to better health.

MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT

In my never ending goal to lose five pounds, I thought I would give this a try.  The book contains easy to understand theories on why weight loss doesn’t always work and how to avoid the pitfalls.  There are also easy to follow recipes geared toward helping your body lose weight.  I found the book to be inspirational and the information seems really helpful.  So far I have lost two pounds and hope to lose the hardest of the hard in the last three!
