Book Description
"This diet works! For years I struggled back and forth with my weight and diet books. This diet set me free! My husband and I stayed on it for a month and we both lost the weight we were looking to lose fast and easily. The best part is this diet helps your body get in balance and stay in balance. I love the new healthy and thin me! Thank you Linda West!"Jenna Melton What you can expect after being on this diet only 4 weeks: Fast and effortless weight loss, women will lose up to 10-20 pounds and men up to 20-30 pounds in four weeks. A healthier and balanced overall system. Increased daily energy. Lack of inflammation. Lessening of any illness or sickness symptoms. Better sleep. Clearer complexion and better skin. Increased metabolic activity. Daily healthy elimination of waste. A feeling of well being. Loss of stomach and facial bloat. Happiness. Optimism. Peacefulness. This is not like any diet you have ever known. This information is based on an ancient Taoist way of retaining balance and harmony in your body so you can live longer and thrive. The focus is never on the fat, or the diet, the focus is on maintaining a balanced system. A balanced system is not out of balance anywhere. Which means a balanced system cannot be overweight. Part of attaining this balance, is creating a new way of thinking, feeling and interacting with your whole self. The incorrect belief; that what you eat is making you fat, must be addressed and understood. Your entire programming regarding food and your body has been incorrect. No diet alone will change your foundational issues of imbalance in your whole self. You cannot change a whole person by changing only one part. Questions and Answers Why is this diet different? Survival of the fittest is working in your favor! I'll show you how to use it to your advantage. This diet is different because it does not just address the imbalance in your body weight. Being overweight is just a reflection of the imbalance in your WHOLE self. I'll show you how to shift all of you so you have the success you want. This book will shift all parts of your being so you never have to diet again. You were born perfect, returning to perfect is just about getting out of your own way and returning to your perfect weight. What can I expect from this book? You can expect to shift your body into perfect balance and lose weight fast and quickly all the while kick starting your metabolism to work better the rest of your life. How much weight should I expect to lose with this diet. Women going on this diet should see a weight loss of 10 - to 20 pounds in one single month. Men can expect to see 20-30 lbs. How will I feel while I'm on the diet? Everyone can expect to be balanced and have his or her metabolism zinging along in perfect health. You should also feel very energetic and fortified. Is the diet healthy for me? Yes! This diet is designed and tested over centuries to kick start your metabolism engine and move you toward a healthier body. You have the option to choose 'so called junk food' on this diet and still lose weight but of course that is less healthy. I always advise fresh organic produce and free range well treated animal proteins. You can supercharge your weight loss even more by choosing healthier alternatives. But sometimes you just need that blue cheese dressing with your chicken wings (allowed!) Are there any side effects to this diet? Yes, freedom. Freedom from fat, worry and more dieting. Another side effect to kick starting your metabolism is that it frees up time for your body to work on healing any health issues that are out of balance.
