Finally a plan that works!

I am over 40, and have tried various plans south beach, no carbs, no fats and weight watchers (until I got sick of donating money every week) The plan made a lot of sense when I read about it I knew it work. I lost an amazing 8 pounds the first week! In six weeks I have lost 15 pounds so far. Yes, it does take a little bit of time to follow it the shoppping and the meal planning, but it is well worth it. I look foward to my "cheat days" which makes it eaiser to follow. I highly recommend to this book to anyone who has had limited success with other plans.

Still working after 2 years

I've been doing this plan for 2 years now and it's still successful. I think that the longest that I've evere stuck to a plan in the past ws maybe 6 months tops. I have had some set backs (ie weight gain) due to steroid treatments and other medications but am still following it. That's me on page 258! Anyway, I loved the first book, "Crack the Fat Lost Code", and love "Conquer the Fat Loss Code" even more. As I've said before, my background is in nutrition and I worked in healthcare management for many years. Wendy's knowledge is brillant. This book is easy to follow and really does kick the pounds off. I've had the pleasure of working right along with her and admire her so much. She really does care about the people that she's trying to help and getting her information to them. Anyway, please do yourself a favor and get both books or even just this one and follow the plans.

A fat-loss program that makes sense

"Conquer the Fat-Loss Code" is nothing short of a complete strategy to lose fat, raise metabolism, shed unwanted pounds, and remain fit for life. Wendy Chant has presented a book that not only explains the science behind the body's reactions to food and exercise, but also details how to take advantage of these natural tendencies. Chant's book is a quick read because she explains the fat-loss code in simple, readily understandable terms. She also outlines all the principles involved in optimizing fat-loss (like the meal plan cycles) in straightforward bulleted paragraphs and in-a-nutshell "Conquer the Code" boxes for quick comprehension and reference. Testimonials to the success of the Fat-Loss Code (inserted in the book as "What the Code Crackers Are Saying") are short stories that add to the credibility of the method. Chant's book is also a long-term guide because it has a complete 8-week planner that lists daily food suggestions, weight training and cardio schedules, and a feedback log complete with the day's affirmation. The book not only explains the fat-loss code, it also provides the tools you need to apply the code to your particular situation. Chant even fine-tunes the program to differentiate plans for men and women, and those aiming to lose less (or more) than 30 pounds. Of course, a plan is only as good as its Plan B. So, Chant also includes tips and tactics for special days like weekends, travel, and holidays, plus a special section on what to do if you fall off the wagon. And it goes without saying that the chapter on "Quick Tips for Ultimate Success" merits a permanent bookmark. The last section of the book could be the most precious gift from Wendy Chant: it features her own recipes for breakfast, shakes, soups, salads, vegetables, entrées, and desserts. And to round out her comprehensive book, she adds an appendix of the Beginner's Home Workout and several pages of references and scientific basis for her fat-loss code. Anyone who has tried any kind of diet or regimen for losing fat (and maybe did not achieve the desired results) deserves to try Wendy Chant's method. The science is sound, the code is simple, and this book is the key. - Ruby Bayan, OurSimpleJoys

THIS PROGRAM REALLY WORKS!!

I have been on this program since Jan. 3, 2009. I've tried every program known to man since going thru menopause and it has worked great for me. You get to eat soooo much food and it is all food you buy in the grocery store. It was a little confusing in the beginning and took awhile to learn "the language" of the book but once you do, it comes so natural what to do. (I've lost 22 lbs and lots of inches. I was in a tight size 16 and now size 14's are getting too big.) This is a fat loss program,not a weight loss program. Due to chronic pain issues, my exercise is limited but I've still had great results. Wendy Chant has changed my life and I feel so "in control" of my way of eating with her guidance. I followed CRACK THE FAT LOSS CODE. I plan to purchase CONQUER THE FAT LOSS CODE soon. This book is worth every penny. By the way, you get Carb up days and cheat days which I think helps you stay on program and not have cravings. Best of luck!

New Ways to Reprogram Your Metabolism & Lose Weight

Conquer the Fat-Loss Code follows on from Wendy's previous New York Times bestseller, Crack the Fat Loss Code, taking weight loss to a whole new level. Start by cracking the code to learn the basics, and then move on to conquering the code for more variety. The eating plans vary from her first book, with double accelerated weeks, and grapefruit days. Wendy has included extensive information on adding HIIT and EPOC cardio and incorporating weight training to make your fat burning more efficient whichever program you are following. The success planner is very clearly laid out on a double page spread for each day. Plus more recipes and meal plan ideas. There is also a chapter on what to do if you "fall off the wagon", plus how to incorporate holiday and special events. I highly recommend this program. I'm on my second 8 week cycle, and losing weight easily, without missing out on the foods I love, like chocolate.
