Overview

Health care professionals and fitness experts constantly tell people who want to lose weight they should eat less and exercise more. Counting calories and eating low fat food while spending hours at the gym has become a modern day dogma for weight loss, but such advice is profoundly flawed and clearly not working. This book explains in a clear and accessible way, why this seemingly logical advice fails most people over and over again.

This book is a culmination of Stephanie’s years of training and experience along with personal experimentation to understand the true cause of weight gain, or more precisely fat gain, and the mechanisms with which you can re-set your body into being a fat-burner and not a fat-storer. Stephanie shares with you a system of interventions based on science to trigger fat burning and regulate appetite control, which leads to permanent fat loss and food freedom. This includes why blood sugar management is fundamental to long-term health and weight loss; how to exercise less to burn more fat; the surprising importance of a healthy gut microbiome – the 100 trillion bacteria that live in your gut and their influence on your weight, and why intermittent fasting is one of the quickest and easiest ways to restore the body to a fat-burning machine.
