If you've ever tried to lose weight, you know how hard it can be. Cutting calories can leave you hungry, tired, and obsessed with the food you can't have. Prescription drugs have unpleasant side effects that can challenge your resolve. What's more, even when you do succeed in shedding weight with these approaches, all too often the weight comes right back.

The Inside Out Diet is different. It helps you lose weight while feeling terrific from head to toe. More than a natural diet, more than a detox program, it puts you on a holistic path toward a healthier, more energetic lifestyle. Written by Cathy Wong, a leading naturo-pathic doctor and nutritionist, this book presents an easy-to-follow diet and nutrition plan that will help you see food not as an enemy but as a wonderful and natural tool for healing and weight loss. You'll shift your focus from eating to lose to eating to gain--better health, more energy, and a sense of well-being.

First, Dr. Wong helps you understand the vital role of the liver in overall health and weight loss. She explains how the foods we eat, along with the increasing level of chemicals in our environment, can force the liver to work overtime to detoxify the body and keep it from carrying out its other important functions--leading to chemical and hormonal imbalances and adversely affecting our moods, energy level, and our attempts to lose weight. With The Inside Out Diet, you'll learn how to maximize liver functioning to lose weight safely and permanently, by following these simple steps:

Step 1: Jump-start your detox by temporarily removing the foods that are congesting your liver and colon with fats and toxins

Step 2: Check for food intolerances, reintroduce foods gradually, and eat for ongoing weight loss

Step 3: Maintain without gain and start a lifetime of healthy, enjoyable eating

Discover the key to natural weight loss with The Inside Out Diet and start your journey toward a healthier, slimmer new you.
