Master Your Metabolism

Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels shares her simple, three-phase plan to lose weight—and keep it off—by hacking your hormones.
 
Is your scale stuck no matter how much you diet or exercise? Have you lost and gained the same five, ten, or twenty pounds over and over? Millions of people are in this frustrating position, and health expert Jillian Michales has been there, too. After years of exercise and painstaking dieting, she figured there has to be an easier and more effective way to become healthy and stay slim. There is! It’s all about training your hormones to automatically burn—not store—fat.
 
In Master Your Metabolism, Jillian has compiled seventeen years of her research, her work with top doctors and nutritionists, and her own weight-loss expertise into the ultimate diet and lifestyle plan for metabolism management that engages all the weight-loss hormones (including the friendly HGH, testosterone, and DHEA; and the not-so-friendly insulin, cortisol, and excess estrogen).
 
You’ll learn to:
• Remove “anti-nutrients” and toxins, which are slowing down your metabolism
• Restore natural whole foods to your diet—foods that will rally your fat-burning hormones
• Rebalance your hormones by sleeping, dealing with stress, and exercising in ways that will manage them best.
 
Jillian 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, and quick and easy recipes, as well as mini-programs for addressing PMS, andropause, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause. With Master Your Metabolism, you can reach your optimum health and weight and transform your body into a healthy, fat-fighting machine.
