The Hormone Reset Diet: Heal Your Metabolism to Lose Up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days―Three-Week Program for Rapid Weight Loss

This e-mail to a friend kind of says it all, thought I would share:Hey Friend,I never do this, so forgive me if you are shocked but I have to tell you.Over the past year & a half I'd gained like 10 pounds (o.k. maybe more). I think it all started with the stress my (now retired) boss was putting on me. It was awful, affecting not only work, home, personal and active life. I didn't want to run, cook or leave the house. I couldn't poop. I saw my doctor, we tried anti-depressants (& drugs to stimulate my colon) that really didn't help (actually felt a bit worse).It started to change after I received my Prevention Magazine June 2015 issue. I read the following article: http://www.prevention.com/weight-loss/hormone-reset-diet.But there is an important subset byline that isn't included in the online article, here it is:SO WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT ALL THIS? YES, THERE ARE MYRAID WAYS YOUR HORMONES CAN GO HAYWAIRE - MORE THAN JUST THE FOUR LISTED HERE, SAYS GOTTFRIED. BUT HORNOME RECEPTORS ARE REMARKABLE RESIDLENT: GIVE THEM 72 HOURS OF REST, SHE SAYS, AND THEY'LL RESET SO THAT YOUR BODY CAN BETTER MANAGE ITS CHEMICAL TRAFFIC. THE RESETS YOU'LL FIND IN GOTTFRIED'S THE HORMONE RESET DIET FOCUS ON LIMITING MEAT, SUGAR, FRUIT, CAFFINE, GRAINS, DAIRY AND TOXINS. GO TO HORMONERESETDIETBOOK.COM/JUNE TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET STARTED.Just with that subset byline (& article), I cut out all red meat, sugar, fruit, caffeine, grains, dairy and toxins (although I didn't know what toxins were....hadn't read the book yet) for three days one weekend and felt really good, without reading the book. I started to think there might be something to it. As I'm in my car a lot, I ordered the Audio CD's the next day (comes with supplement .pdf CD with assessments, recipes, etc.). I started my 21 Day Hormone Reset on 6/15/15.....and I'm kind of still on it, although I do have moderate amounts of alcohol (no more than 2-3 a week...and you know what a big change that is for me!), sugar and fruit.....I haven't had red meat, caffeine (COFFEE!), grains or dairy in nearly 2 months! Friend, I feel great. I sleep great, I wake up ready to go (girl, before my alarm, like almost precisely 7.5 hours after I've gone to sleep....on the weekends too, up freakishly @ 5:00 AM). I'm not stressed at work and even though this is the busiest time of year, I'm rolling with the punches. At home Husband & I are talking (I'm cleaning) and I'm starting to want to connect with friends again. I'm running 3 days a week, biking and swimming once a week. I also do my arms, Pilates and walk Dog twice a day 1-2 miles.Friend, if you are looking for a change, guidance or a guiding light....borrow this one. I've listened to the audio CD's like 4 times, hoping (and not surprised to fine) Dr. Gottfried's teachings have kind of become the voice in my head. She uses the term 'cell to soul' practice to indicate that nutritional eating/hormone resetting is part of what my problem was, but also I needed to reconnect with me. Now I didn't get any of the blood tests she recommended starting out with. I didn't do any measurements (except weight on the 3rd day and then periodically during) and didn't buy any supplements (other than the multi, Vit. D & calcium I was already taking) or any weird food. I did start having hot water with cayenne and lemon in the morning, started doing green smoothies which I drink a large one for breakfast and a smaller one with my lunch and I take nightly baths with salts & do a drybrush. Didn't buy any of her products, just doing it o'natural.I ended up buying the hardcover book too, so I could refer to some of the more complicated scientific portions and so I could highlight & make notes.Check it out, no pressure. Could even borrow my book & audio CD if you want.This has changed my life, for what seems like forever. I'm down over 10 pounds and Husband says I've never looked more fit. (I can't tell you how that made me feel!)I'm nearly in tears sharing this with you. As our friendship has not yet entirely withered, I feel I won't be so lucky with others. I haven't been able to tell anyone about what I am doing although I want to shout it from the rooftops! I would love to have you walk on this journey with me, as I plan to continue.Yer pal, -Me-

I consider myself to be a TOUGH CASE. Severely hypothyroid, multiple medical problems and almost 50 years old. I have been eating healthier (minimal processing, more veggies, organic, mostly wheat-free) for about 6 years and mostly (80%) Paleo for the last 3 years. I GAINED 30 pounds in the last 2 years eating paleo, organic, all-grass-fed, pastured, etc! Like a switch went off! After being thin my whole life, I was at a loss for what was going on. I tried all my usual tricks to lose weight such as after a having a baby, but nothing worked. I would try like crazy for a week and GAIN 2 pounds!With The Hormone Reset Diet I was able to LOSE 10 pounds in 3 weeks (still going - albeit more slowly) and I didn't even follow it perfectly!! I was able to pinpoint my issues and address them. Now I have this information for the rest of my life and can continue to tweak my diet to follow my body's requirements. I am confident I can get back to my "fighting weight" thanks to the methodical steps outlined by the book.People have to understand that this book is a guideline to help you discern things from your own body. Dr. Sara repeatedly speaks of "listening" to what is going on inside of you. Her writing style may be a bit chatty, rather than uber-scientific, but I think it adds to the familiarity of the tone she is trying to convey - GIRLFRIEND to GIRLFRIEND. If you want all the science, the back of the book is filled with citations. There is never a one-size-fits-all EAT THIS AND LOSE WEIGHT that some reviewers claim this book should have been. Besides, that is easy - google "weight-loss diets" and you will get a thousand sites to give you a day to day menu to starve yourself by. I wanted more information - direct from MY OWN BODY!!Thank you Dr. Sara for giving me back my HOPE and COMMITMENT!! The moment I GAVE-UP, thinking I would be fat the rest of my life was the moment I knew I needed to do something and THE HORMONE RESET DIET was the perfect starting point!! Money WELL-SPENT!
