Publisher's Synopsis
Does it seem like no matter what you do, you just can't seem to lose weight? Have you ever felt like your body was actually fighting your weight loss efforts and that no matter what you did, your body was determined to hold on to the weight? Are you frustrated by the conflicting messages about losing weight and keeping it off? There is a good reason for that. The advice we've been hearing from the government and health authorities for the last 40 years has been absolutely wrong. We've been told "a calorie is a calorie," "calories in, calories out" and "eat less, move more" as we were simple machines rather than adaptive beings that react to the environment with every second. In this book, Zane explains in simple terms that it's not the number of calories we eat in a day or burn off in a workout that determines fat storage but instead, how our bodies respond to the type of food we eat. Weight loss, he says, is "not a battle of calories" but "a battle of hormones."He encourages us to exchange the short term diets for a lifestyle change that will give us control of our weight and control of our health.
