Product Description
No cravings. No stress. No fatigue. Finally, a revolutionary weight-loss program that makes your brain happy as you lose weight. Cheryle Hart, M.D., and Mary Kay Grossman, RD, have discovered that many popular diets deplete your brain's neurotransmitters, especially serotonin, which is crucial to well-being. This "yo-yo brain" effect zaps your willpower and leaves you irritable, depressed, and carbo-craved. Hart and Grossman's The Feel-Good Diet helps you eat to boost serotonin, battle "yo-yo brain," and finally win your war with your weight. You will lose weight, reduce stress . . . and feel good. Learn how to: Stop thinking about food so much Eat smaller portions and feel less hungry Stop craving the foods that "do you in" Includes dozens of delightful new recipes, easy-to-follow meal plans, menu ideas for eating out, and life-enhancing "feel-good" tips for a healthier, happier, and thinner you!

Great on topic of insulin resistance! by WiseWoman (South Eastern USA) 5 Stars
June 12, 2008
The book is full of pages on insulin resistance,insulin spiking, etc. The first book by these authors was excellent and health promoting; and this one is as well.

Some intriguing ideas, but . . .  by K. Hix 3 Stars
March 07, 2008
The author's earlier "Insulin Resistance Diet" was my first introduction to reducing carbs, and I still rely on her advice to balance carbs with protein, but this new diet relies way too heavily on artificial foods for my taste. If you are perfectly happy with rice cakes and fat-free bottled dressing and artificially sweetened yogurt and the like, this diet may appeal to you. But if, like many of us, you have begun avoiding long lists of chemical additives, sodium, preservatives, etc., in favor of whole, minimally processed foods, this diet would be a major step backward. The authors also advocate deliberately spiking insulin between meals in order to promote serotonin production, but it seems to me that it would also spike hunger and hypoglycemia.

Feel Good by Dr Adam Weiss (Buffalo Grove,IL.) 5 Stars
July 29, 2007
The authors take the yo-yo weight loss and weight gain syndrome out of the equation with a comprehensive look at hormone related stress factors and weight gain on the reader's body. With detailed explanation on why this occurs and how to prevent weight gain from repeating by balancing out your diet with proper foods. The Feel Good Diet teaches the reader how to improve eating habits for a healthier, well balance eating lifestyle.

This time it was my husbands turn to lose weight.... by R. Mayo 5 Stars
May 29, 2007
Everyone knows I am the biggest fan of Cheryle R. Hart and Mary Kay Grossman for writing The Insulin-Resistance Diet book which forever changed my life. After losing 40+ pounds on my own and still having high cholesterol and still being 60 pounds overweight (not to mention feeling terrible) I needed answers. My OB/GYN found the problem and suggested The Insulin-Resistance Diet book by Hart and Grossman. I am now a total of 100 pounds lighter (50+ pounds thanks to the Insulin Resistance Diet), my cholesterol is normal and my Insulin levels are normal. I have kept the weight off for 2 years and couldn't love my life more. My husband on the other hand had a much harder time over the Holidays and I decided The Feel Good Diet was what he needed to take off the weight. The two of us loved the book because it spoke to us from different angles. My husband is very analytical and likes to know how the clock works, I on the other hand, just want to know what time it is. The Feel Good Diet works because it gives you the "why" and "how" all in one book. The biggest change for me was the quality of sleep I now enjoy after having my Evening Seretonin-Boosting Snack. The S'More Serotonin Snack is to die for or an evening watching a movie while snacking on popcorn made my husband very happy. The other significant change was our energy levels in the afternoon by incorporating the afternoon snack. Cheryle Hart and Mary Kay Grossman not only wrote books which allowed me to lose weight and changed my life but they educated me about my body and empowered me to be able to keep the weight off. To be able to live a life where you control your weight instead of the food controlling your weight is AMAZING!!!!
