Self-Help Diet
Everything You’Ve Been Taught About Weight-Loss Is Wrong.
Discover The Revolutionary New
Plan That Will Strip Away Pounds From Your Belly First—And
Change The Way You Look, Feel & Live! A hamburger that fights heart disease and depression? An apple that can make you fat? Pork chops that help take off the pounds?
Salad dressing that makes you crave dessert? Water that causes weight gain? Unbelievable, impossible—but
true! Based on the latest nutritional and environmental
science, The New American Diet will turn modern weight-loss
thinking on its head, and the NEW AMERICAN DIET Superfoods
will change the way you eat, look and live—for
good! In this groundbreaking new 6-week
weight-loss plan, based on the latest research and
test-driven by 400 people—men and women who lost an average
of 15 pounds in just 6 weeks!—authors Stephen Perrine and
Heather Hurlock expose
the truth about scores of recently
discovered obesity-causing chemicals lurking in the American
diet, chemicals so hazardous to our weight that researchers
have coined a new phrase for them: “Obesogens.” The New American Diet unveils the first diet
plan to reverse “the obesogen effect” and strip off 10, 20,
30 pounds or more! Discover why your weight isn’t your
fault, and why calories eaten and calories burned are only
the beginning of the story. Learn how to lose weight while
eating all your favorite foods—steak, pasta, ice cream and
even chocolate—by breaking free of these “Old American Diet”
myths that are keeping us fat: OLD AMERICAN
DIET: It’s always better to order the fish instead of the
steak.
NEW AMERICAN DIET: Some fish can make you fatter
and may even contribute to heart disease. Learn why steak is
often the better choice in Chapter Four.
OLD AMERICAN
DIET: A fruit salad is a great way to lose weight.
NEW
AMERICAN DIET: Many fruits (and vegetables!) contain
chemicals that cause your body to gain fat, shed muscle and
even diminish your sex drive. But you can rid your body of
80 percent of these “obesogens” in just five days (see
Chapter Three!).
OLD AMERICAN DIET: Ice cream and
chocolate are sinful.
NEW AMERICAN DIET: Learn why both
are among the NEW AMERICAN DIET Superfoods, and how they can
help fight weight gain and disease.
OLD AMERICAN DIET:
Weight loss is about eating low-fat, low-carb,
low-cal.
NEW AMERICAN DIET: Wrong! Eating low anything is
bad for you. The New American Diet isn’t low in
anything—it’s just high in nutrition and flavor.
OLD
AMERICAN DIET: What you feed your body is what counts in
dieting.
NEW AMERICAN DIET: Eating for your emotional
health has been proven to help strip away pounds. We’ll show
you how eating to boost your mood and bolster your
brainpower will help you lose weight faster. (Discover the
nutrients that demolish depression in Chapter Six!)
OLD AMERICAN DIET: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are always
a smart, lean-body choice.
NEW AMERICAN DIET: Today’s
skinless chicken breasts contain 223% more fat than they did
just 30 years ago—but a simple swap can have you eating
chicken, beef and pork that will actually trigger weight
loss.
Based on hundreds of studies and
interviews with the leading experts in the fields of
nutrition, endocrinology and environmental studies, the
authors reveal how dozens of
“healthy” foods in your
pantry right now may have unexpected fat-promoting
properties; how “obesogens” may be changing your body and
undermining your family’s physical, emotional and sexual
health; how the Old American Diet has stripped nutrients
from our meals (and how you can obliterate depression and
mental fatigue by adding them back); and why many of the
foods we crave, like bacon, peanut butter and even chocolate
can (and should!) be part of an easy-to-stick-to weight-loss
plan.
