The Perfect Metabolism Plan - by Sara Vance (Paperback)

About the Book

"We all know the stats: more of us are obese than ever before. We have a diet and weight loss industry that rakes in billions per year, and yet almost everyone who loses weight puts it back on and then some. This yo-yo dieting is not just frustrating to the dieter, it's extremely detrimental to the heart, joints, and bones--worse, some research suggests, than remaining fat. This book's message is that an inability to lose weight or keep it off has never been about a failure of will, it's about a broken metabolism. No diet will stick until the underlying metabolic issues are resolved.Vance offers 10 proven keys for fixing or resetting your metabolism: Break Up with Sugar Fix Your Fats (eat healthy fats) Heal Your Gut (probiotics) Identify Food Intolerances (foods that make you foggy, fatigued, sick, and fat) Lose the Toxins (in household products, body care products, etc.) Put Out the Fire (beware acidic foods and other foods thatcause inflammation) Stop the Madness (stress) Ditch the Convenience Foods (even the so-called healthy ones) Hydrate! Exercise Smarter (not harder) The Perfect Metabolism Plan is smartly organized with a very approachable tone, and includes a 3-phase cleanse and about 50 recipes. Readers will also discover that a well-functioning metabolism controls much more than their weight. They'll find themselves more clear headed, more energetic, less frequently under the weather and better able to rebound, less achy, and more!"--

Book Synopsis

Heal Your Metabolism to Improve Your Health and Reach Your Ideal Weight

"The answer to many of our health issues is right at the end of our forks." The real secret to reaching vibrant health and our optimal weight is to reset our metabolism. In The Perfect Metabolism Plan, nutritionist and foodie Sara Vance breaks it all down into the 10 keys you need in order to unlock your optimal metabolism. Sara started out as a picky eating kid who didn't like veggies very much and ate way too much sugar. She paid the price with a long list of chronic symptoms─mood swings, insatiable hunger, digestion issues, allergies, and weight gain. It wasn't until years later that she realized that the answer was staring her in the face the whole time. The answer was right at the end of her fork!

Reboot your metabolism and take control. Millions of us have counted calories until we're blue in the face. We've cut fat, eaten less, and exercised more─and we're still heavier than we want to be. Or we lose the weight, only to see it creep back. It's frustrating, discouraging, and unhealthy. In Sara Vance's The Perfect Metabolism Plan, you'll learn that this inability to stay at a healthy weight is not about willpower and it's not your fault! When your metabolism is out of whack, your willpower, hunger hormones, insulin, and cravings all work against you. And you not only can't lose weight, you tend to feel foggy, sluggish, or generally unwell. It's time to take control. You need a plan to achieve metabolic renewal.

The Perfect Metabolism Plan will show you how to reset and reboot your metabolism through 10 keys, and you will also find:

• A bonus chapter of metabolic hacks
• Over 50 healthy recipes
• And, a workable plan for putting it all into action

If you are a fan of books such as Happy Gut, Brain Maker, The Metabolism Plan, The Case Against Sugar, or Wired to Eat; you'll love Sara Vance's The Perfect Metabolism Plan.
