Non-Fiction | Self-Help Diet

Are you frustrated by being stuck at the same old weight no matter how hard you try to lower it? Have traditional approaches to dieting failed you? Can eating good food like salmon and oatmeal actually be part of the problem and not the solution? Do you have thyroid related concerns? If you answer "YES" to any of these questions, THE PLAN just may have the answer you need! Turning away from traditional approaches to diets and health, Lyn-Genet Recitas's book takes a fresh perspective and focuses instead on how the body responds to certain foods and the chemicals in them. THE PLAN is a game changing new look at the perennial problem of weight gain and the difficulties of losing it. As people respond uniquely to different food factors, the anti-inflammatory diet proposed by Recitas completely shifts the focus away from calories to how food and exercise can affect you as an individual. In clear and understandable language, the author highlights that there are essentially four main factors affecting poor health and weight gain. These are: not drinking enough water for your size, in-taking too much sodium, eating foods that give your digestive system an inflammatory response, thus slowing the digestion process down and doing the wrong kind of physical exercise, such as over- training. Based on her extensive experience as a holistic nutritionist, the author gives numerous examples of how people respond in varying ways to the various chemicals and other factors found in the foods we eat, so that healthy lean food, such as fish, turkey and eggs can cause completely different reactions and weigh gain in different people. To assess your situation, THE PLAN outlines a three day period with specific foods to cleanse your system and then, gradually starts adding back in all the food you enjoy, including wine and chocolate! As this is a life changing approach to eating, numerous recipes are included as well as lots of solid information on how to assess your individual responses to foods. It is definitely not a diet book in the traditional sense and certainly, if followed, will not leave you hungry. Further information and support is also provided on Recitas' website. What could pose a difficulty for some people is that as this is a life changing approach, following the plan requires a considerable amount of shopping for specific items, following the recipes and using some specific supplements. These brand specific items may be harder to find for people living in rural areas or outside of the States, but they can be ordered online or appropriate alternatives can be recommended by health food specialists or by questions sent to the author on her website. Definitely worth checking out to see if it can help you! You may be glad that you did!

SUMMARY

In this revolutionary book, cutting-edge nutrition expert Lyn-Genet Recitas reveals the surprising truth behind what actually makes people pack on the pounds. Carbs and portion sizes, it turns out, are not the problem. Foods that are revered by traditional weight loss programs, such as turkey, eggs, cauliflower, beans, and tomatoes, may be healthy in a vacuum, but when combined with each person's unique chemistry, they can cause a toxic reaction that triggers weight gain, premature aging, inflammation, and a host of health problems including constipation, migraines, joint pain, and depression.

Now this groundbreaking 20-day program helps readers finally unlock the mystery behind what does and does not work for their individual body. With detailed meal plans, recipes, and effective, personalized advice, you will discover how to:
-Lose a half a pound a day while enjoying generous servings of foods you love
-Identify your hidden trigger foods that are causing weight gain and inflammation, among other symptoms
-Build a personalized healthy foods list that promotes rapid weight loss
-Avoid feeling bloated, tired, or unhealthy again!

Feel better, look better, and be empowered by the knowledge of what truly works best for your body!
