Lose weight without going hungry? We all thought it was impossible, until we began to explore the possibility of using fiber-rich foods to fill us up without packing on the calories. InovoBiologic Inc. used studies conducted at the University of Toronto to produce PolyGlycopleX™ (PGX), a water-soluble "super fiber" that absorbs 600 times its weight in water. Lyon is one of the doctors who developed the product, and together with Murray (The Condensed Encyclopedia of Healing Foods), he here presents a weight-loss plan that involves ingesting PGX in tandem with foods that raise the metabolic rate and improve the body's ability to utilize its own insulin, a process called thermogenesis. The plan also includes menus and recipes. Though following the diet might induce weight loss, the added fiber may not deter a determined nosher. Also, PGX will create severe blockage unless the user is careful to drink sufficient fluid. Not a necessary purchase, but there could be demand around the holidays. [Visit author Murray online-Ed.]
