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

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.

With The Feel-Good Diet, you can:

Stop thinking about food so much
Eat smaller portions
Feel less hungry
Have more energy
Stop craving the foods that "do you in"
Stop feeling deprived
Maintain your new weight
This groundbreaking book provides you with easy-to-follow guidelines to all
the foods you love, plus dozens of delicious new recipes and complete meal
plans. It also includes simple lifestyle tips and an easy-to-do exercise
program, so you can increase your metabolism, improve your muscle tone, and
live a more active, fulfilling life. It's a whole new experience in
dieting--a proven weight-loss plan you can really feel good about.

Synopsis:

Dieting doesn't have to make you miserable anymore! According to the Mayo Clinic, two thirds of all dieters quit after three months. Why? Because most diets deplete the brain's neurotransmitters, resulting in the low energy, moodiness, and cravings that sabotage weight-loss success. The authors call it yo-yo brain, a hormone imbalance that affects women most severely. "The Feel Good Diet" is a unique eating plan that actually restores the balance of these brain hormones and makes it possible for you to battle cravings and shed pounds - while renewing your energy and zest for life. Dr. Cheryle Hart and nutrition expert Mary Kay Grossman use the latest breakthroughs in neurological science to tackle the root causes of diet failure and harness the power of the brain's natural chemical 'factory' which can be devastated by fad diets and the loss/gain cycle of yo-yo dieting.
