The 7 Principles of Fat Burning by Dr. Eric Berg
A great read. Well organized, good flow with humor interspersed to captivate the reader on this timely topic. The author includes plenty of drawings, charts and graphs to concretize what’s conducive to fat burning as well as what inhibits the same. He has a way of taking this complex complicated information and regurgitating it into easily digestible chunks. The 7 Principles of Fat Burning rapidly brings you up the learning curve to understand how to activate your fat-burning hormones unique to your body type. A wealth of information from debunking the myths to tantalizing recipes, eating guides and exercise plans. It’s hard to put down. A definite keeper.

Written by chiropractor and nutritionist Eric Berg, DC, The 7 Principles of Fat Burning is a health and diet guide that debunks common myths - such as the myth that fat on the body comes from eaten fat, that extreme low-calorie diets help one lose fat (instead, they trigger the body to make more fat in response to the perceived starvation), that simply exercising harder by itself will burn fat (while exercising in the right way is invaluable, too much intense exercise puts harmful stress on the body and can even worsen weight problems for people with some body types), and more. The 7 Principles of Fat Burning particularly examines the roles of hormones and their deficiencies in controlling how people gain or lose weight, and classifies overweight individuals into four body types (adrenal, ovary, thyroid, and liver) based on how their hormonal balance is affecting the distribution of their fat. Furthermore, The 7 Principles of Fat Burning spells out how to balance one’s diet, avoid unwanted hormones in food, and schedule exercise to maximize the body’s natural fat-burning ability. “Eating or consuming refined sugars before bed (for example, orange juice) can nullify growth hormone’s fat-burning effects as well as keep insulin high enough to prevent any fat release. This includes a glass of wine. An apple, which has fiber, is a better snack before bed.” Suggested meal plans for individuals of different body types, a handful of recipes, and recommended exercise and rest charts round out this enthusiastically recommended health and nutrition guide for anyone seeking to lose weight.

My husband and I bought this book for weight loss. We found it to be very informative. It explains the functions of our hormones, and how to balance your hormones to achieve fat burning with diet and exercise. There is a lot of research from other places, and so the book contains info from many different sources with the research and results. This makes it a very comprehensive study, it is probably equivalent to readng several different books on this subject. He has lost 25lbs in a month, and I have lost 50lbs over 3 months.
