The Rosedale Diet(Excerpt)
Collins | 2004 | ISBN: 9780060565732|184 pages | PDF | 1.6 MB

We eat and eat, but still remain hungry. Nutrition and metabolism expert Dr. Ron Rosedale thinks that the key to lasting weight loss is turning off our "hunger switch." The answer resides in leptin, a miracle hormone that signals the brain when we are hungry and, more important, when to stop eating. Leptin also tells our bodies to burn off excess fat. When we control leptin, we can control our hunger; and when we control our hunger, we can control our weight. The book includes four weeks' worth of delicious recipes.
