From the Inside Flap
If you think you've heard everything there is to know about losing weight and staying healthy, think again. The Yogurt Diet will offer shocking and convincing new evidence about how to conquer - once and for all - the obesity and disease epidemics that are sweeping our society today. Believe it or not, the answer has existed for thousands of years. Probiotic yogurt.

Probiotics is a new buzzword emerging from the world of natural health and now making its way into the mainstream. The word itself literally means "for life," and refers to the friendly bacteria that live in the human body which, as you will learn in The Yogurt Diet, are absolutely necessary not only for ideal weight, but also for optimal health.

All too often, people unknowingly reverse the populations of the all-important probiotic bacteria with treacherous organisms that not only cause obesity, but also a wide variety of illness and disease. This bacterial reversal is caused by a variety of conditions that many people feel cannot harm them - including the use of antibiotics, processed foods, over-consumption of sugar, stress and lack of sleep, among others.

Some of the illnesses that can be caused by a bacterial imbalance in the GI tract include obesity, diabetes, irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), colon cancer, stomach ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, arthritis, attention deficit disorder (ADD), acid reflux, and many more. Nearly all of them, however, can become diseases of the past when we make probiotic yogurt a regular staple in our diets and keep the proper balance of friendly bacteria in the gut. It's as uncomplicated as that and The Yogurt Diet will tell you in no uncertain terms just how and why this can work.

In this book you will find the answers you've been seeking for so long. The Yogurt Diet will forever change the way you eat and feel, and give you a new and surprisingly easy way to safeguard your health for many years to come.

Customer Reviews

A Pleasant Surprise
This book was recommended to be by a friend who brought it after reading a magazine article by the author. Who needs another diet book, I thought. But after talking with my friend and looking at her book I knew I had to have it. The Yogurt Diet is the first diet book I've read that clearly explains how the digestive system works and why it's so important to have a bacterial balance in your GI tract. I never realized, for example, that antibiotics can do as much harm as good, or that so many ailments can be caused by simply not having enough "good" bacteria in your system. On the practical side, I've been eating yogurt regularly for a number of weeks and already feel better. I was never a bad eater, but since reading the book I've made some changes, like eating yogurt at least twice a day, cooking exclusively with Olive Oil and eliminating products containing high fructose corn syrup. Everything is explained in a concise and easy-to-understand manner by the author and her recipes are great. Not to mention how easy it is to make your own yogurt. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who is serious about improving their health and stabilizing their weight without going on one of those diets you know are temporary and that you'll never stick to, and is probably expensive to boot.

Diet Enlightenment
I received Ana's book a few weeks ago and have slowly but surely acclamated my diet to her specifications. The information is so fresh and new. I love taking in all of her hard work and research. Every page is an enlightening moment and discovery. It's a great new challenge and I love how I am feeling eating all these fresh, clean, wonderful foods!

Thank you Ana!
