The Prime: Prepare And Repair Your Body For Spontaneous Weight Loss (english Edition) Format Kindle

Présentation de l'éditeur Prepared to live at your prime?Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients--spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle.  Her program is not about what you can't have or do, it's about adding simple teas and herbs, and succeeding without giving up any foods you love. With The Prime, Dr. Chaudhary has reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start losing weight instead. You'll learn: --The importance of neuroadaptation, food addiction, and the brain (or, why your brain and gut have made it so hard to lose weight in the past!)--Why it’s not about what you eat, but what you digest--How to determine if you have a Leaky Brain—and what The Prime can do about it (hint: everything)--How to easily crush cravings (no willpower required), ignite energy and fat, and biohack your lifestyle habits. Lastly, you’ll learn how to live fully Primed, the secrets of the Super-Primed, and when you’re ready to explore new foods, how to eat according to your unique constitution. Extrait DO YOU HAVE FAKE FAT?  Many people who believe they have excess fat don’t actually have as much of it as they think they do. Lymphatic back-up looks and feels like fat (it is very soft, like a water balloon), but it fluctuates from morning to evening or throughout the menstrual cycle. If you are one of those people who can gain five pounds overnight (or lose five pounds in a week), you are probably plagued with Fake Fat. Do you have Fake Fat? Let’s find out right now. Answer the questions below to determine if this is you. Is Your Fat Real? 1. Does your weight often fluctuate more than 4 or 5 pounds over the course of 24 hours? 2. Do you have difficulty sweating, even when you are exercising? 3. Do your rings get stuck by the end of the day because your fingers get puffy? 4. Do you get lines around your ankles where your socks were, or marks from your shoes? 5. Do you have aching in your joints? Do you often feel stiff, especially if you have been sitting for awhile? 6. Do you have excessive cellulite? Everybody has some, but do you have large amounts and lots of lumps? 7. For women, do you gain more than 5 pounds around your menstrual cycle? If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, then you are probably someone who has been dieting backwards (like most of us) and should hear about The Prime.     YOU’RE DOING IT BACKWARD You’re doing it backwards. If you are like the majority of people who have tried to lose weight, you’ve done it (or tried to do it) by going on a diet, or exercising more, or both. That’s what you’re supposed to do if you want to lose weight, isn’t it? It’s what doctors tell you to do. It’s what nutritionists tell you to do. It’s what most diet books tell you to do. If you’ve tried to lose weight this way, maybe it worked. Maybe it didn’t. Maybe you lost some weight, but gained it back. No matter what happened, the one experience you probably have in common with most others who have tried is this: it was extremely difficult. Losing weight is hard to do. Or, it’s hard to do the way people tend to do it. Even diets that claim to be easy often feel incredibly strenuous in practice. Sometimes the promise of a new diet is enough to keep you going for awhile. Maybe you are all fired up about your new plan at first and you are okay for a week or two, but eventually the novelty of it wears off, the routine gets tedious, and your body cries out against the deprivation and the exertion. Diets typically deprive you of things you want; and the more yo
