Book summary

Restore metabolism. Eat healthy fats. Reduce carbohydrates. Avoid excessive cardio-type exercises. These are the basics of the Schwarzbein Principle, a health and diet program that has, over the years, gained a loyal following due to Dr. Diana Schwarzbein's innovative, supportive, commonsense approach to restoring health. THE SCHWARZBEIN PRINCIPLE: THE PROGRAM, which provides the practice to go along with the theory, is made up of five parts: nutrition, managing stress, getting rid of toxins, cross-training exercise, and (sometimes) hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Schwarzbein explains the rationale behind each one, beginning with how metabolism works and why her program is based on it. She also provides lists of foods and products, advises readers what to avoid, and explains why her "Schwarzbein Square" is better than the pyramids put out by the FDA and other organizations. The book's appendices include reading lists, questionnaires, checklists, and important information about health issues. Readers new to the Schwarzbein Principle can begin with this book, as it reviews and and builds on the earlier books.
