It's a medical fact: not all weight is really fat. Much of being overweight is caused by allergy-like food reactions. This "false fat" is easy to put on, but it can be hard to take off. Now you can do it--this week--with The False Fat Diet.
All foods have chemical reactions within your body, and some foods just "don't agree with you." These foods cause body swelling and facial puffiness that look like fat. They can also make you feel listless and ill. With the revolutionary False Fat Diet, you cut out these foods and substitute others, following a no-hunger eating strategy. As your false fat melts away, you can lose 5-10 pounds in just a few days--and 10-20 pounds within two or three weeks. Then your metabolism will finally be able to burn true fat--efficiently and steadily--and keep it off.
Acclaimed author of the popular classic Staying Healthy with the Seasons, which has helped people become healthier year-round, Dr. Haas is an international expert on diet and integrative medicine. He has seen his 21-day False Fat Diet work wonders in his own life, and in thousands of his patients' lives, for more than a decade. Now, in this reader-friendly, authoritative book, he makes this breakthrough available to everyone. The False Fat Diet takes you step-by-step through an easy, healthy, practical nutritional program that includes
- Identifying which foods you react to--and replacing them with the right foods for your body chemistry
- The "detox" phase, when you cleanse your system of reactive food substances
- "False Fat Week"--the amazing 7-day period when your swelling and puffiness subside, as you lose ten pounds
- The Balance Program--a personally customized diet that returns your metabolism to normal, taking pounds off steadily as you reach your ideal weight
- Detailed menu plans that give you smart food choices to make over a 21-day interval
- Delicious, easy-to-prepare, reaction-free recipes, created with famous French chef Philippe Boulot, that don't drastically cut calories the way other diets do
- Expert guidance on reducing stress, finding the right exercise program, and learning how to keep feeling better--and looking slimmer--for life
With The False Fat Diet, you will almost immediately look and feel much better, finally free from the common symptoms of food reactions: cravings, irritability, headaches, depression, sinus congestion, heartburn, fatigue, and impaired immunity. You'll have the energy, mental clarity, and good mood you'll need to stay healthy and slim forever. The False Fat Diet is more than a weight-loss program. It's a scientific, healthy, effective, total health regimen that is exciting in its fast results. And because it's individualized, it's the only diet that can work for everyone.
If you know you swell up after bee stings, you avoid bees. If you know a close encounter with poison ivy will leave you itching and scratching for a week, you keep your eyes open for three-leafed plants. But, according to The False Fat Diet, many of us spend our entire lives eating foods that "don't agree with us," and as a result carry around extra pounds, put up with allergies, and go through life looking older and feeling less energetic than we should. Of course, the hook here is weight loss. If you eliminate the foods that make you gassy and bloated, you can probably drop pounds instantly--up to 10 pounds of "false fat" in a week, Elson Haas says--and then keep dropping weight in subsequent weeks and months, the real fat, all without feeling hungry or deprived. Haas offers two ways to figure out if you've got food sensitivities: a medical blood test or an elimination diet, in which you cut out certain foods for a while, then gradually reintroduce them to see if they're the ones causing the problems. (The usual suspects: dairy, wheat, corn, sugar, eggs, soy, peanuts.) The False Fat Diet offers detailed instructions on how to eliminate each of these foods, and also offers ideas about supplements to take and other strategies to deal with the strangeness of not eating what are probably your favorite foods. Although the basic idea behind The False Fat Diet is counterintuitive--that the foods you like and crave the most are causing you the most severe physical problems--the potential benefits are enormous. Haas and Cameron Stauth tell numerous stories of patients (including Stauth and his sister) who lost weight instantly, looked younger, and felt better by following the diet that makes the most sense for them. --Lou Schuler
