Atkins, the Zone, the South Beach Diet, good carbs, bad carbs, the liquid diet-anyone with a serious weight problem has probably tried (and failed) to use one of these diets to lose weight. And it's not their fault.
Everyone has a unique body type and corresponding metabolism, and because we are all different, there is no one "miracle diet" for everybody. Dr. Scott Rigden has twenty years of experience as a weight loss specialist in Arizona where he also runs a successful weight loss clinic. Over the years, he has discovered that people can be divided into five different metabolic types. Each type has a corresponding plan of specific dietary and lifestyle habits that make weight loss work.
The author provides quizzes and questionnaires that help readers determine their metabolic type. In each chapter devoted to that type, he gives dietary, exercise, supplement and medicine advice complete with glossaries and case studies. He also includes a chapter on emotional eating and one on how to prepare mentally for weight loss and recipes.
Find out why you can't lose weight using conventional diets and, using the guidelines in this book, jump-start your metabolism and experience safe, permanent weight loss
