Product Description
Finally, information about weight loss supplements that isn?t based on hype or hope, but on scientific fact!
Written by Harry Preuss, MD, a doctor and university-based researcher, and Bill Gottlieb, former editor-in-chief of Rodale Books, this is the first and only reliable guide to the nutritional supplements and herbs that can safely and effectively help you lose weight and keep it off. You?ll learn how to:
Speed fat burning?with green tea extract
Lose fat and build muscle without dieting or exercise?with CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)
Stop weight regain?with MCT (medium-chain triglycerides)
Reduce carbohydrate cravings?with 5-HTP
Balance blood sugar for easier dieting?with chromium
Block the absorption of excess starch and sugar?with white kidney bean extract and L-arabinose
Get off a plateau, where pounds don?t seem to budge?with HCA (hydroxy citric acid)
Turbo-charge fat-burning exercise?with HMB (hydroxy methylbutyrate) or BCAA (branched-chain amino acids)
You?ll also read about the weight-loss supplements that aren?t likely to work or are possibly unsafe. You?ll find a customized program to help you pick the one or more supplements that are right for you. And you?ll discover an easy-to-follow, no-diet food plan for controlling calories, and a simple, no-sweat approach to physical activity for long-term weight control.

This book runs down the most popular natural supplements for weightloss and tries to back up claims for each with results from various scientific studies. The most underwhleming part of this book is the way it tauts something on one page as causing lots of weightloss, and the next, you find out that after an 8 week trial, average weightloss was 3-6 pounds. Well wippity doo, you can get results like that from just cutting out 500 calories a day and exercising. The author is honest at least about when studies contradict each other and makes no absolutist claims about any of the supplements. Some of the supplements are quite expensive. I am trying several right now: Green tea extract, Hoodia, Cinnamon, and fiber. Only the fiber seems to have any appetite blunting effect. There is some good info here, just dont expect to find one thing that will magically make you lose weight. It wont be 1 or 2 tricks that leads to weightloss, but the combination of good food, moderate portions, exercise, and 10 or more tricks.
 Incredible Improvements in Health October 24, 2007

When I eliminated sugars and flours from my diet 12 years ago, I experienced vast improvements in my health, but my asthma and migraines hung on. In carefully reading Dr. Preuss' book, I noticed that 5-HTP and CLA had the side-effect of addressing migraines and asthma. Following Dr. Preuss' well-researched advice, I am thrilled that these conditions are now abating. Dr. Preuss' work really shows that while pharmaceutical applications have horrendous side effects, fat-loss supplements have multiple beneficial side-effects. Thank you, Dr. Preuss.

This book brings together many studies and, tells you which products work. How they work. And most importantly: How and when to use them. I ordered it for my mother, and after skimming through the first 2 chapters: I ordered 3 more copies to give to others that could use it.
