Product Description:
LOSE UP TO 25 POUNDS IN 8 WEEKS AND KEEP IT OFF! The human body evolved to resist starvation by holding on to fat. No wonder it's so difficult to lose weight! Now a revolutionary lifestyle plan finally cracks the code for efficient fat loss. Developed by leading nutrition specialist Wendy Chant, the plan is scientifically designed to help you "outsmart" your body's natural cycles for storing and burning calories. Crack the Fat Loss Code teaches you how to boost your metabolism through "macro-patterning"--a simple routine of alternating carb-up, carb-down, and baseline days. There are even built-in cheat days, so you can enjoy the foods you love. Once you get your eating habits on schedule, you'll find that you can lose weight . . . for good. In just eight short weeks, you'll be able to: - REPROGRAM YOUR BODY--to burn the fat and keep it off.
- FEEL HEALTHY, NOT HUNGRY--with limitless food options.
- CONQUER THAT DIET PLATEAU--once and for all.
"Crack the Fat-Loss Code brings you the most sensible solution to permanent weight management I have seen."
--Frederick C. Hatfield, Ph.D., bestselling author of Bodybuilding: A Scientific Approach, Hardcore Bodybuilding, and Ultimate Sports Nutrition

 Book Needs Editing But Diet Does Work, 2008-09-28
The editor of this book should have been fired. It is filled with inconsistencies and missing information. It's shocking that it would be published in this condition, but I guess it still sells. Nevertheless, if you can figure out what to eat (and what not to eat) by following the guidelines for each phase of this "eating plan" (she does not use the word, "diet"), you will find success. HOWEVER, this is no miracle diet as others have claimed and you will not lose 25 pounds in 8 weeks unless you are starting this program as morbidly obese. I lost 7 pounds in the first week and by the end of 8 weeks I had lost a total of 8 pounds. I followed the plan pretty much to the letter. My exercise was light--just a daily walk of about 20 minutes. The meals are what I would describe as tolerable--nobody will mistake Wendy Chant for a gourmet chef that's for sure. Her "breakfast crepes" taste like cardboard with saccharine. I will give this 8-week cycle another try and amp up the exercise next time. All in all, not a bad diet (very hard for me to lose any weight), but don't expect miracles and except for a handful of "cheat days," you will forfeit delicious foods for a couple of months.
