GET OFF THE DIETING ROLLER COASTER–NOW AND FOREVER!

You already know that fad diets don’t work. But that doesn’t mean you can’t lose weight! Here at last is a science-based diet that will give you the body you want. The secret is to work with your body, not against it.

Exploding the many diet myths on the market, Dr. Ian Smith gives you the knowledge you need to solve your weight problem permanently. For instance, did you know that eating too much protein damages your health? That starvation and deprivation slow your metabolism? That it is impossible to convert fat to muscle?

Here Dr. Smith not only explains the true causes of overweight but demonstrates how metabolism and genetics factor in to weight control. He shows you how to design your own eating and exercise plan to accommodate your preferences, your routines, and your particular weight goals. The plan includes:

• vital information on “feel-full” foods
• proven strategies to optimize your metabolism
• effective ways to exercise that get results

With a 30-day menu and exercise program customized to your needs, The Take-Control Diet is the last weight-loss book you will ever need!

something finally works!!
I bought this book on the street date and began Dr. Smith's plan a week later. It works! It's reasonable and sensible. I talked to my doctor about it, and he gave it an enthusiastic thumbs-up. I've been on the plan for four and a half weeks, and I've lost 14 pounds.

Dr. Smith's plan has changed my life. I finally have control. I will update this review every once in a while with my new total. I know I can stick with this plan, because I've done it for a month, and I don't feel hungry or deprived. It works!!

Finally A Real Diet
Finally, someone has written a book that makes sense and doesn't ask people to starve themselves or not to eat carbs or other things. The diet is practical and it makes sense for everyone. I find the reading very easy

I Believe
After trying diets all of my life and failing all of them, I am now a believer! This book has inspired me to lose my weight forever. The menus are excellent and the advice is worth following! You won't be disappointed!
