SO MUCH MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS
    Although I know your number one goal might be to lose weight, The Doctor’s Diet is much more than a weight-loss plan. This plan is not just about cutting calories—heck, you can lose weight eating cookies all day, so long as you limit your calories. To really, truly boost your health—and stay out of the ER—you have to go beyond weight loss and eat foods that support every cell of your body in a healthful, life-giving way. By taking a whole-health approach, you can do way more than just lose weight and trim your waist. Sure, you want to look great. But won’t it be nice to know that you’ll be boosting your health while whittling away your waist?
    Losing weight and eating a healthy, life-supporting diet are two of the best things you can do for your health. Don’t be discouraged if you’ve been unsuccessful in past efforts to shed excess pounds and change your diet. The Doctor’s Diet is a different kind of eating plan, one that you can stick with for the rest of your life. It’s not just a diet but a new way of life and a new way of eating. The Doctor’s Diet is unique because it includes many of the foods you already eat, so there’s no need to learn an entirely new way of cooking and preparing meals. The recipes and meal plans don’t call for crazy ingredients and unusual foods that cost a bundle online or at specialty grocery stores. Rather, familiar foods are combined in a new way, using specially designed Meal Plan Equations that optimize fat burn and weight loss. Yeah, I’ll ask you to try some new foods—super-nutritious foods that can boost your health and whittle away weight—but they’re all foods that you can buy at your supermarket,prepare easily, and enjoy eating for the rest of your (long) life.
    Not only that, but The Doctor’s Diet also gives you a personal physician: me. As you set out on your journey to better health and longer life, I’ll be with you every step of the way, giving you the information, advice, encouragement, and motivation you need to succeed.
    With this book in your hands, everything you need is at your fingertips.
