Do you keep gaining weight, despite your efforts to diet? Do the pounds accumulate around your tummy? Do you feel tired, irritable, and unable to focus? If you answered “yes” to any of the above, you may be one of the millions who have Metabolism B, an inherited condition that causes your body to overprocess carbohydrate foods into excess body fat. There is a reason that some people can eat all they want (and seemingly never gain a pound), while the rest of us fret over every carb. Diane Kress, a registered dietitian and weight-loss specialist, has helped thousands with Metabolism B lose weight—and keep it off—with her revolutionary, scientifically based program. Now she shares its secrets here. Among the many life-changing elements of The Metabolism Miracle, you will discover:
• The reason why cookie-cutter approaches to dieting (subtracting calories burned from calories consumed) cannot work for those with Metabolism B • The tools to lose weight and reprogram your metabolism permanently • A foolproof method to improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar • The return of your energy, focus, and sense of well-being • Sample menus to help you take it one day at a time • Delicious recipes (including vegan) tailored to match each step • An active lifestyle plan to maintain your newfound body weight.
As someone who struggled with Metabolism B for years, Diane Kress knows firsthand the frustration of diets that don’t work. Based on the latest research, her own experience, and the experiences of her clients, she has developed this groundbreaking plan to help you take back your life—starting today.
Finally, something that makes sense to me!March 1, 2010 E. Hannah(Johannesburg, SA) I have been frustated for years, trying every diet known to fat women! Not understanding why I couldn't lose weight, even though I didn't eat nearly the amount that others, much thinner than I, do. Diane's plan makes sense to me, and after two weeks, I have lost 2.5kg, and I don't get hungry (a miracle feeling). The book is well written, and very informative! Thanks.
Outstanding program! Great book!February 13, 2010 D. L. Katz This book is logical, well written with an easy to follow program. The recipes are easy and very good. I would recommend this to anyone ready to try a new approach to weight loss.
Metabolism Miracle worked for me!!!!February 12, 2010 R Francini(Ohio USA) Thanks to Metabolism Miracle I have lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks, I am sleeping better, my joints no longer ache, I feel more in control of my carb addiction! My husband joined me on this adventure and of course he is down 26 lbs in 6 weeks, has all ready seen great improvements in his blood work and is feeling much better. Diane Kress truly has done her homework. Her book is a easy read, very easy to understand with lots of great information and suggestions. I have battled insulin resistance for the last four years, trying to gain control over the carbs in my life and steer clear of Type 2. Metabolism Miracle has allowed me to stick with it, enter into step 2, 20 lbs lighter, with a goal of losing another 50 lbs and then the topper to this whole adventure...figuring out just how many carbs I will be able to eat and maintain a healthy blood sugar and not gain my weight back!! Okay, that is a miracle! Thank You Diane Kress for saving my life!
Excellent practical book, but some suggestions need further refinementFebruary 11, 2010 Haluk Elci(Istanbul) This is an excellent book giving a clear and working method for people who are sugar sensitive. The concepts seem to parallel Atkin's Diet popular in the 90s, where watching Carbohydrate levels consumed daily are identified to be far more relevant in weight loss compared to counting calories for sugar sensitive people, which the author refers as Metabolism B. The 3 step plan of the book is more practical and applicable than prior diets. The author emphasizes a transition from step 1 (basically a low carbo diet# of the plan towards gradually increasing carbo levels in steps 2 and 3 up to a personally tolerable level. Beyond this level of carbo's consumed you will regain weight and have a less pleasant life. The book provides food lists that are helpful in quickly categorizing and choosing proper portion sizes, so no need to do counting of carbo grams. I also found the emphasis to consume a minimum level of carbo's every 5 hours to be a crucial point. This is a book that reads well after the fact oriented book Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Trackand a protein focused diet by Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity
What I found lacking, was the author not sufficiently emphasizing individual metabolic differences, where ironically that is the key point of the whole book. The book splits people into two groups, Metabolism A and B, which is fine. However, within Metabolism B or Sugar Sensitive people there are further ramifications. For example, I personable could not allow for coffee or sugar substitutes in my food plan, these seem to register as sugar in my brain #as explained in books Potatoes Not Prozac or Sugar Shock). Yet, the author has plenty of recipes using sugar substitutes. Still the best plan I came across over the years, excellent practical reading.
Awesome book!February 3, 2010 Joa Sushilover(Mesa, AZ) I am 30 days in to step 1 and I feel GREAT! I have so much more energy and friends and coworkers have been complimenting me left and right. The first 3 days were rough for me because I was used to drinking soda but by day 4 I was fine. I am looking forward to step 2 when I can start incorporating some fruit back into my diet. So far I have lost 12 lbs and I've never felt better!
