by Aimee Aristotelous (Author), Richard Oliva (Author), Katherine Rodriguez (Foreword by)

Lose up to twenty pounds per month and see results without giving up pasta or chocolate!

The scientifically proven low-carbohydrate nutrition plan has produced fast and dramatic results for millions of dieters, but cutting carbs and sugar can be difficult! This medically-approved, doctor-developed solution will help you stay under 50 grams of carbs per day, while still allowing delicious foods and regular "cheats," with minimal preparation time.

Despite the fact that low-carbohydrate nutrition plans are highly effective for weight loss, many find them intimidating since they often must limit many of their staple foods. Learn how to enjoy old favorites such as pasta, cereal, chips, cookies, and chocolate while consuming only a small fraction of the carbohydrates and sugars found in the standard American diet. This medically-approved protocol, which is employed by thousands of doctors and weight loss clinics, will allow you to reap the benefits of the low-carbohydrate regimen, without feeling hungry or deprived.

You'll benefit from The Doctors Weight Loss Diet because it contains:

• Helpful graphics so readers can visualize exactly what to eat to lose weight and see blood sugar level improvements in just one month.
• The option to incorporate foods that are not typically allowed on a low-carb plan.
• Detailed grocery lists, meal plans, and macronutrient charts.
• Categorized fats, carbohydrates, and proteins which are most beneficial for the healthiest low-carb plan.
• Mouthwatering recipes you can whip up in no time!

Low-carbohydrate diets result in two to three times more weight loss than mainstream low-fat diets. They also significantly decrease blood sugar and blood pressure levels, as well as triglycerides (fat in the blood), while causing an increase in good cholesterol (HDL)--you owe it to yourself to give it a shot! Here nutritionists Aimee and Richard, in collaboration with Doctors Weight Loss, instruct readers on exactly what to eat to lose weight and improve overall health, without the requirement for exercise or too much time spent in the kitchen.
