The Natural Fat--Loss PHarmacy

I wanted to read this book because Dr. Preuss wrote it and he is on the scientific board at Advocare and I have been using product for 1 1/2 years. I am hoping that what I am learning from Dr. Preuss' book will help me to continue to loose weight. I have found the book entertaining as well as informative. It is fun to laugh at the things Dr. P wrote. Thanks for a good read.

Give me my EGCG!

When I started reading "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy," I was hopeful that there might be some way to take off the extra weight I was carrying without having to exercise or deprave myself of the foods I love. I was already limiting my fat intake because my doctor was about to put me on a medication to reduce my cholesterol count. My cholesterol level was coming into normal range, but I wasn't seeing the physical results I desired. I had never heard of some of the nutritional supplements and herbs mentioned in this book, but by the time I finished reading it, I felt drawn to start taking EGCG (green tea extract) to speed up my fat burning process. It was the answer I was looking for. After taking the supplement for only a week, I had more energy. I started exercising for about 20 minutes a day while taking EGCG. That's when I visibly started seeing inches come off my torso. Who would have thought that a supplement could make such a difference? I would not have known about green tea extract had I not needed to read the book in order to interview Bill Gottlieb for my iTunes podcast Writers in the Sky. This book is a must read for anyone willing to try something drug-free to address a physical problem.

Great book to save you brain cells.

This book really covers every aspect of what to take and what not to take as well as what is a waste of effort and what works. Explains why it is good for you. Really enjoyed this book. And when ever I come across a drug or herb I go to this book to get the real low down about it.

A Book Worth Its Weight In Gold!

A Book Worth Its Weight In Gold! Dr. Preuss provides a thorough analysis of natural weight loss supplements which have been proven safe as well as effective. He details the scientific research, as well as offering useful advice on how to select and use each product. He also provides information which will help the reader determine which supplements may be most appropriate for their own situation and any other health conditions or concerns they may have; and he devotes an entire chapter to "Designing the approach that's right for you". And the supplements do work! I began seeing the pounds come off after using just one of the supplements! But while the focus of the book is on weight loss, Dr. Preuss also discusses other healthful properties and health benefits that these supplements have, making the book a virtual treasure trove of information and ideas reaching beyond mere weight loss. As an example, he discusses a muscle building supplement that can enhance the calorie-burning and weight-loss benefits of exercise for weight lifters, but he notes that it also helps protect against the muscle protein loss which occurs naturally with the aging process--something the elderly will find especially helpful. The book is a delightful and engaging read, but this isn't a book you will read once and put away. It is an invaluable reference that you will find yourself consulting again and again. Shirley L.

Guide to safe and effective weight loss supplements

Very easy, funny and interesting to read. The book puts complex scientific research and biochemical processes into language consumers can really understand. Chock-ful of valuable information and a great guide for everyone seeking trustworthy information on how to manage weight loss with natural supplements that work and are safe. Great information on Super Citrimax and ChromeMate, as Dr. Preuss writes, the "combination punch" for weight loss. Plus, great credentials - Dr. Preuss is a professor at Georgetown. Dr. Perricone recommends this book also.
