No cravings. No stress. No fatigue. Finally, a diet you can feel good about!
Introducing The Feel-Good Diet, a scientific breakthrough in weight loss that will help you:
- Turn off your hunger
- Turn on your energy
- Tone down your stress
- Tone up your body
- And ‘yo-yo’ no more!
Designed by a weight management physician and a registered dietitian, The Feel-Good Diet is a revolutionary weight-loss program that works with you, not against you – especially if you’re a woman. Cheryle Hart, M.D., and Mary Kay Grossman, RD, have discovered that many other diets cut out essential carbs and pack on too much protein, which depletes your brain’s neurotransmitters, especially serotonin. This ‘yo-yo brain’ effect zaps your willpower and leaves you irritable, depressed, and carbo-craved.
Hart and Grossman’s The Feel-Good Diet helps you battle ‘yo-yo brain’ and finally win your war with your weight. With a few simple guidelines and easy-to-prepare menus, you can eat delicious, healthy foods that actually boost your serotonin levels – so you can lose weight, end cravings, reduce stress . . . and feel good.
Includes dozens of delightful new recipes, mouthwatering meal plans, menu ideas for eating out, and life-enhancing ‘feel-good’ tips for a healthier, happier you!
Based on the latest research – The Feel-Good Diet shows you how to use your natural brain chemistry to stop cravings, lose weight, and feel great.
Why do so many women fail with their diets? According to the Mayo clinic, two-thirds of all dieters quit after three months. The reason is simple, explains Dr. Cheryle Hart and nutritionist Mary Kay Grossman. Most diets deplete the brain’s neurotransmitters, resulting in the low energy, moodiness, and cravings that sabotage weight-loss success. They call it ‘yo-yo brain,’ a hormone imbalance that affects women most severely. They also discovered that there’s something you can do about it.
It’s called The Feel-Good Diet. It’s the first medically proven weight-loss plan that actually boosts your brain’s ‘feel good’ power to counteract hunger pangs, depression, fatigue, and the dreaded ‘yo-yo’ after-effects. With a perfect balance of carbohydrates, protein, and other nutrients, you can increase your levels of serotonin and dopamine – and feel the best you’ve ever felt. Not only will you battle those cravings and shed those pounds, you’ll be renewed, revitalized, and reenergized.
