Sub-titled ’Overcome Your Body’s Resistance to Weight Loss Now!’, this book provides a thorough and wide-ranging insight into why losing weight can be so stubborn for some people. Told with humour and personal anecdotes, this new approach to weight loss dismantles the age-old cycle of dieting and weight gain. 387 pages of plain language complete with index.

Nutritionists and metabolic specialists explain how common metabolic dysfunctions, such as insulin resistance, Syndrome-X, glandular imbalance and thyroid dysfunction, keep overweight people from diagnosing the roots of their weight gain and keeping off the weight they have lost. The book also explains the role of dietary factors, nutrient insufficiencies, food-sensitivity reactions, stress, toxicity, insufficient rest and emotional factors.

The author delves into the workings of the thyroid gland and its hormones to a degree well beyond what most said, every patient who has been told that their thyroid is normal should take this book to their doctor. The favoured solution for hypothyroidism lies in natural therapies, not synthetic hormones.

Chapter 13, ’But I Can’t Live Without My Chocolate!’, is dedicated to the person with a ’sweet tooth’. Why do we have sugar addiction, what are the signs and what can we do about out? It is a big subject, involving both adults and children.

Of particular interest to many readers will be the section on cellulite and how to ’love your liver’.

Personal testimonials by the author and others guide readers through the emotional and physical struggles entailed in recognising and conquering the causes of overweight. Suggested nutritional and exercise regimes provided by world-renowned trainers help people wanting to shed kilos to find the path to permanent weight loss.
