Book summary

This revolutionary approach to diet was developed by a respected researcher and health consultant. It is a lifelong health program designed to bring the body into total balance. Food is not the enemy here, but rather a catalyst--the essential ingredient needed to allow the body to function at its absolute and efficient peak. This book prescribes easy-to-follow and nonrestrictive dietary guidelines based on maintaining a favorable ratio of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates--a balance that in turn stabilizes and maximizes the hormones that regulate our weight and height. The book supplies readers with charts, lists, and recipes designed to maintain a completely balanced and hormonally sound eating, and living, regimen.

Media reviews

"[Sears] thoroughly trashes the no-fat Dean Ornish camp, makes mincemeat of the USDA food-group pyramid, scoffs at juicing, skips the psychology and then tells people exactly how to eat in order to lose weight: 40% carbohydrate, 30% fat, 30% protein. He is strict, he is rigid and he outlaws rice cakes and carrot sticks. Talk about revolutionary."
