Book ~ "Master Your Metabolism: The 3 Diet Secrets to Naturally Balancing Your Hormones for a Hot and Health" (2009) Jillian Michaels

From Amazon~ Does it feel as if you’re fighting your body to lose even one pound—or just to maintain your current weight? Respected health and wellness expert and bestselling author, Jillian Michaels, has been there too. So she consulted top experts in the field of metabolism and discovered that she’d inadvertently been abusing her endocrine system for years. After “fixing” her own metabolism, she decided to share what she learned by devising this simple, 3-phase plan that engages all the weight-loss hormones (including the friendly HGH, testosterone, DHEA; and the not-so-friendly: insulin, cortisol, and excess estrogen).

In Master Your Metabolism, discover how to:
•REMOVE “anti-nutrients” from your diet
•RESTORE foods that speak directly to fat-burning genes
•REBALANCE energy and your hormones for effortless weight loss

Michaels offers a wealth of information throughout, including: shopping lists and online shopping resources, hormone-trigger food charts, how to eat “power nutrient” foods on a budget, smart strategies for eating out, quick and easy recipes, as well as mini-programs for addressing PMS, andropause, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, and menopause.

Lots and lots of information in this book and it took me a while to get through it.

For me, it's more of a reference book since there are that many details.

Honestly this book has completely changed the way I look at food, I look at it as nourishment and I want the most pure untainted food to go into my body. Now when I look at processed items or things with aspertame I just think chemicals and that it will harm my body. So this book is very helpful to learn how to eat healthy on a whole new level, the peace of mind is a wonderful result but the physical result is also amazing. I have been following her guidelines for 2 weeks now and see amazing results and I just feel so pure and healthy, knowing my body has clean energy to burn off.
