Mother always knows best!

When a mom sets her mind on something, stand back and get out of the way! Dr. Baillie-Hamilton simply wanted to know why she couldn't lose weight gained during her pregnancy so she did a little research and uncovered a plethora of information about chemicals and additives that are tainting our food and poisoning our bodies. Our bodies can pretty much regulate themselves but when we ingest chemicals that mess with our hormones and confuse our immune systems, we can't maintain healthy weights and we run the risk of developing health problems and possibly even intellectual and emotional disabilities. Dr. Baillie-Hamilton's message is simple and yet oh so powerful: mess with Mother Nature and negative consequences can occur. Eat organically and use organic products as much as possible to keep your body healthy. It's all very simple. But then, mothers' advice usually is. It's not just in our best interest to heed Dr Baillie-Hamilton's research as well as the laws of Mother Nature, it's quite literally become a matter of life and death.

The No-Diet Diet

Dr Paula Baillie-Hamilton has thoroughly researched the ever-hot topic of what she defines as "Chemical Calories." In other words, the pesticides and hormones and other chemicals passed onto our bodies through food and our environments. In this book, the Dr. details easy ways to choose foods low in chemical calories, make simple changes in your home or environments, and supplements that aid in reducing chemical calories. Why would you want to reduce your chemical calories? By doing so, you naturally help your body to repair its "Slimming System" which aids in helping you to lose weight and change your body shape without going on severe food restriction diets. Overall it is an informative read and Paula has the research to back it up. If you even follow 2 or 3 of the 30 tips summarized at the end of the book, you will be on your way to better health and helping your body naturally stay at its slimmest.

Toxic environmental chemicals can make you fat

Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton is a British medical doctor who also has a doctorate in human metabolism from the University of Oxford. As a Visiting Fellow in Occupational and Environmental Health at Stirling University and an adviser to the Soil Association in England, she is an acknowledged expert on the information covered by this book.Dr Baillie-Hamilton's research has revealed that our bodies' natural weight-regulation system can be severely damaged by toxic chemicals we encounter in our everyday lives in our food, water, air, cosmetics, household products and the packaging of consumer items. These toxins interfere with our metabolic and appetite-regulating systems and make us fat by causing us to store more fat than we would if our bodies weren't invaded by toxins.Since fat is the major place where toxins are stored in our bodies, the doctor offers an eating plan that will take off weight slowly through mild calorie reduction to avoid flooding the bloodstream with poisons that were stored in fat, which can sometimes lead to "detoxifying" symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea and headaches. In addition, the doctor's eating plan consists of three main factors: (1) Try to eat only organic foods, but if you can't, use the food lists the doctor provides which rate foods by how compromised by pesticides they are and/or prepare your food in a way that removes as many toxic chemicals as possible; (2) drink filtered water; (3) avoid using toxic chemicals in your home (e.g., pesticides, chemical cleaning products, strong perfumes and dyes, smoking), and air out your house to avoid toxic air buildup.One of my favorite parts of the book is an extremely well-done section on common environmental toxins and how they get into our food supply, including: (1) the class of chemicals called organophosphates were initially developed for biochemical warfare and are now used as one of the most common pesticides on fruit and vegetables as well as routinely fed to livestock to fatten them up; (2) carbamates are used as fungicides and pesticides on fruits and vegetables and are also used to fatten up livestock; (3) anti-thyroid drugs are banned in England (she makes no mention of banning in the US) for direct use in livestock to suppress the function of the thyroid so they will get fatter, but similar compounds are still commonly used in the UK and US as pesticides on fruits and vegetables--which people and livestock eat; (4) steroids fatten up livestock by causing water retention and creating a ravenous appetite for carbohydrates--recently banned in Europe, they are still widely used in the US; (5) antibiotics aren't merely given to livestock to wipe out disease, they are also purposely routinely given in minute dosages in order to destroy weight-control hormones and greatly lower metabolism, both of which cause livestock to store excessive fat; (6) organochlorines are extremely toxic pesticides whose most deadly forms (DDT, lindane, PCBs) have been banned in Europe and th

Enjoy the taste of good wholesome food again

Like so many people I have often tried out the latest fads and diets which have always proved unappetising and sometimes evendownright dangerous to my health.Now Dr.Baillie-Hamilton has discovered that by largely eliminating food grown by chemically contaminated means it is perfectly easy to enjoy the taste of good,wholesome food again and still manage to lose weight.Since starting this largely organic way of eating I have felt very energetic with a new zest for life.This is certainly the way forward for me and my family.I definitely advise others to do the same.

Unbelievable results!

Dr. Baillie Hamilton's theory of Chemical Calories is truly groundbreaking. The results achieved by the reduction of chemical calories in my diet has enabled me to achieve weight loss when nothing else worked. Doesn't it make sense that the same chemicals used to slow down the metabolism of the animals we use for our food sources can slow down our metabolism as well?She gives us alternatives to the chemical laden food we are used to consuming on traditional "diets" and offers a life-long alternative...reduce chemical calories and enjoy food once again. Along with proper supplementation, you can be healthy and slimmer, restoring your metabolism to its normal rate.
