Product Description
No more counting carbs, calories, or fat grams! This revolutionary diet plan works with your hormones to curb your appetite, boost your metabolism, and take the pounds off for good!
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. |

Healthy Way To Lose Weight 
This way of eating healthy makes a big difference in the way you feel. The diet has you eating plenty of fruits and vegetables about nine servings instead of five. The food requires shopping more often to maintain the freshness of the vegetables and fruit and is costlier than other diets I have tried but I feel it was well worth it. The recipes are easy to follow and grocery lists are provided for the first four weeks. Easy to read and follow.

This book tells you exactly why, and how....at last for us.
This is the book to help overweight people, such as myself, who could not lose weight even when they followed good eating principles. It explains for us the WHY of the hormone that has failed us until we get things back to the way they were. The food allowed is specific and strict, because we are changing our out-of-whack systems and starting the healing process so we can once again burn calories. IT HELPS TO FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY WE FAILED WHEN OTHERS SEEMED TO EASILY HAVE SUCCESS. And then the book tells us how to correct it, with listed meal plan and helpful recipes.
Simple, concise, and honest. Follow these procedures and eat these foods as designed, and you, too, will at last have success in gaining back your health and becoming fit again.

Not the plan for me 
I was so excited to read the testimonials. Then I purchased the book and saw how few calories a person is supposed to eat for breakfast. I tried the egg white fritatta. It tasted good, but didn't hold me for long. Just not a program that will work for me. I need more calories first thing in the morning to stave off hunger.

DON'T LET YOUR FAT INFLAME YOU
This is an interesting book full of healthy foods and recipes. The author, Dr. Galland, explains the interrelationship of hunger, inflammation, and body weight. The premise of the diet is that if you become leptin-resistant so that your body does not respond to the hormone leptin, you will have difficulty losing weight. Leptin suppresses appetite and stimulates metabolism thereby assisting with weight loss. The three-phase diet program provides a combination of anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods and over a hundred delicious recipes.
Dr. Galland believes that leptin resistance is a hormone imbalance that interferes with our natural ability to regulate appetite and metabolism. The good news is that this imbalance can be fixed by the foods we eat and don't eat. He also believes we get caught in a vicious cycle of inflammation and obesity, where inflammation can be caused by certain foods and by being overweight. In turn, inflammation in the body promotes obesity. Therefore, as you gain weight, the extra fat tissue causes more inflammation, which makes it more difficult to lose weight. Dr. Galland believes we can correct this vicious cycle by increasing consumption of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nuts, flaxseeds, fish, and lean protein, and by eliminating sugars, white flour, red meat, unhealthy hydrogenated fats, and junk foods like French fries. The book lists many healthy "Superfoods" that are anti-inflammatory.
The diet provides three stages: a first which flushes the system, a second which adds some foods (grains) back in, and a third stage which is for maintenance. The diet has recipes designed to keep you happy with what you are eating. If you are frustrated with dieting, this book provides an interesting science-backed approach to getting the fat off and keeping it off forever.

Love it, Live it.
Tastiest diet ever. It is very filling. I actually enjoyed making the recipes, which for someone who hates cooking is extraordinary. I bought a steam pot, which actually cooks the chicken in much less time, and I've found that I actually love preparing the food. I loves mincing the garlic and onions, and tomatoes. I'm in love with this diet, which is the only diet I've tried that has lifelong potential. Not to mention I'm FULL. I'm full after eating less. I've been trying to cut my portions in half without any luck, I've tried it again with this diet and I haven't been hungry since.
