Zero Belly Diet - 9780345547958

Zero Belly Diet is the revolutionary new plan to turn off your fat genes and help keep you lean for life! Nutrition expert David Zinczenko—the New York Times bestselling author of the Abs Diet series, Eat This, Not That! series, and Eat It to Beat It!—has spent his entire career learning about belly fat—where it comes from and what it does to us. And what he knows is this: There is no greater threat to you and your family—to your health, your happiness, even your financial future.

You can change your destiny. You can overcome your fat genes. You can strip away belly fat and finally attain the lean, strong, healthy body you’ve always wanted.

With Zero Belly Diet, David Zinczenko reveals explosive new research that solves the mystery of why some people stay thin, and why some can’t lose weight no matter how hard they try. He explains how some foods turn our fat genes on—causing seemingly irreversible weight gain—and uncovers the nine essential power foods that act directly on those switches, turning them to “off” and allowing for easy, rapid, and sustainable weight loss. And he shows how these foods help to heal your digestive system and to set you up for a lifetime of leanness.

Other diets can help you lose weight, but only Zero Belly Diet attacks fat on a genetic level, setting a bull’s eye on the fat cells that matter most: visceral fat, the type of fat ensconced inside your belly. These fat cells act like an invading army, increasing inflammation and putting you at risk for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Visceral fat also can alter your hormone levels, erode muscle tissue, increase your chances of depression, and destroy your sex drive. But you can turn the odds in your favor.

Powered by the latest research in nutritional genetics, gut health, and anti-inflammatory foods, Zero Belly Diet shows you which foods will help to rev up your metabolism, banish bloat, and balance your digestive health, allowing you to easily build lean, strong stomach muscle, and strip away unwanted belly fat without counting calories or spending hours at the gym. The result: weight loss that is easier, faster, more lasting, and more delicious than you’d ever imagine.

Proven to work by the inspiring results of an amazing 500-person test panel, Zero Belly Diet features a week-by-week menu plan, fifty tasty recipes, and a handy shopping list that leads to a minimum of cooking and plenty of feasting. Plus, you’ll read many success stories from folks—just like you—who dropped up to 10 pounds in ten days and up to 7 inches off their waist in just weeks.

Best of all, Zero Belly Diet promises something more: freedom. Freedom from bloating, freedom from food deprivation, freedom from weight loss fads, freedom from stress. So say “good-bye” to the paunch around your waist and “hello” to a happier, healthier you!
