Synopsis
Dr. Baillie-Hamilton, an expert in human metabolism, argues that our own natural weight-regulation system is being poisoned by the toxic chemicals we encounter in our everyday lives, and that this damage makes it increasingly difficult for our bodies to control and lose weight. Toxins in food, water, air, packaging, cosmetics, and household products enter our bodies as Chemical Calories, hampering our metabolic and appetite-regulating systems and making us fatter. In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Baillie-Hamilton shows readers how to identify, avoid, and manage the negative effects of fattening Chemical Calories with: detailed food guides revealing levels of Chemical Calories in common foods; tips on how to prepare food and clean your home; and body cleansing and detoxifying menu plans. The Body Restoration Plan demonstrates the potential health benefits of a diet free from chemicals, processed foods, and additives, and offers a plan to overcome persistent weight problems, to boost energy levels, and to rejuvenate health.

Paula Baillie-Hamilton is a medical doctor and a visiting fellow in occupational and environmental health at Stirling University in Scotland and an adviser to the Soil Association in England.
