Product Description

If you're a woman over 30, or a man over 40, it could be happening to you! It's an all-too-common problem when you hit 30: despite your best efforts, you just can't seem to lose the extra weight around your middle. Medical research proves you're not alone - that the average person gains one to two pounds a year after the age of 30, usually around the stomach. Hormone imbalance specialist, Dr C W Randolph, explains that the real reason behind this problem has less to do with calories and carbs, and everything to do with a little-known but very real medical problem known as 'estrogen dominance'. In "From Belly Fat to Belly Flat" you will learn: how to self-diagnose estrogen dominance; the top ten belly-blasting foods; the everyday culprits that impact hormone levels; which vitamins and supplements support and sabotage hormone balance. The result. Within four weeks you'll lose pounds and inches to reveal a flat belly.

Customer Reviews

Much more than just another diet book!
This recently published book is really something original, a well-written book (by an American medical doctor too, a husband and wife team), easy to read, and to-the-point. Despite the title, I believe that this book is for just about everyone who cares about maintaining good health, even especially those already in good shape would benefit from reading it. In my opinion, the book's title somewhat understates its message: It is not just about losing belly fat (whether or not you have this in mind), but also about avoiding and/or correcting an extensive - and all too common - range of other health problems, many of which are rather more serious or distressing than extra pounds round the waist (see the long list of these on page 15 of chapter two of this book).

Dr Randolph's main point in this book is that restoring - and maintaining - a good healthy body - and shape - is not about following some fixed diet and counting calories every day, as many other foodie/diet books would have you believe. (Indeed, calories barely get a mention in this book!) Rather, it's all about making those food choices that allow the body to restore its own natural balance. This is well-explained by many examples, and these should strike a chord with most readers. In particular, the section on the non-negotiable foodstuffs (beginning of chapter three) justifies the cost of the book in itself, in my opinion.

Highly recommended - and not at all an expensive buy (on Amazon). One further point: I suggest that you could easily make the dietary changes suggested in this book by adding a smoothie maker to your kitchen accessories - don't laugh at the idea, check out the other reviews (including mine) on Amazon about these, something like the Kenwood Smoothie To Go SB055 Smoothie Maker or similar, would do just fine!


{Footnote: I first came across this book when it received a glowing pre-publication write-up in one of the national newspapers earlier this year - so I decided to take a chance and pre-order it direct from Amazon before it was published. I have not been disappointed! By the way, make sure you buy this - the May 2009 edition - as you see in the picture. There is - I see - an earlier (July 2008) edition of this book, which has a different sub-title and cover. Of course, this will not be a problem if you order direct from Amazon}.

It Works!!
After many years of trying to lose weight I was very sceptical about yet another diet. This one really does work and I have lost 17lbs in five weeks and I havn't felt hungry once!

From Belly Fat To Belly Flat
A mine of information plus contacts for help suggested in the book.Having tried all sorts of diets, I would thoroughly recomment this one: it makes sense.
