I want you to try this diet. Even if you've never been able to stick to a diet before. Or even if you've never really reached your goal on another diet. Why? Because this diet is different. Here's how:

The Maximum Metabolism Diet is dramatically effective. That's because it is based on the latest research in the field of weight control. The discovery that your metabolism can be responsible for weight gain and can be a major factor in encouraging weight loss was front-page news in the New York Times while I was writing this book. This information - on how you can alter your metabolic rate to achieve permanent weight loss - is the key to why this diet works. Once you read about the scientific background for the Maximum Metabolism Diet, you'll see how you can achieve your weight loss goals and you'll also probably see why you hadn't been able to in the past.

It wasn't developed in a laboratory. It grew out of my work with patients who wanted to lose weight. Many of these people had tried diets based on sound research principles but these diets, while they might have worked on mice or people in institutional settings, didn't work for them. After the success of my book Medical Makeover, many people came to me because they wanted to develop healthy habits that would prolong their lives and they wanted to eliminate minor symptoms - in short they wanted to feel great and live as long and as well as possible. But they also wanted to lose weight. Maximum Metabolism Diet is the result of my work with these people. It really works on real people. My patients could fit it into their lives and so can you.

The Maximum Metabolism Diet is different from any other available diet because it does two things at once: It gives you a diet that works, and it tells you how to diet. Most diet books do only one or the other. They tell you what to eat or they talk about the psychology of weight control. In order to succeed you need both.

I know from my work with overweight patients that telling them exactly what to eat and when to eat it is only half the battle. You need to be able to deal with real-life dieting: restaurants, a spouse who's thin, a mother who pressures you to eat, job stress that won't quit and the habit of "fat thinking". You may be amazed to learn that what has been going on in your head could be partially responsible for your difficulty in losing weight. Maximum Metabolism will not only prime your body for weight loss, it will maximize your potential for success by helping you with the "inner game of dieting".

A final word: Prudence dictates that you consult with your doctor before undertaking this diet.
