The Menopause Diet: Lose Weight and Boost Your Energy » (REV 2003)

The Menopause Diet will help you regain the vitality and shape of your youth without the need for pills or surgery. But more importantly, it can prolong your life by preventing damage to your body from uncontrolled blood sugar that can lead to heart disease,strokes and cancer. Written by scientist and medical researcher Larrian Gillespie, The Menopause Diet is the first book to deal with the #1 complaint of women entering menopause, providing scientific proof that women must eat differently from men if they want to lose weight and keep it off. This book will explain why women may be digging their grave with their own teeth when they eat a high carbohydrate, low protein diet and how stress and lack of sleep can make you fat. The Menopause Diet guides women in making choices about hormone replacement therapy and nutritional support so they can be the healthiest women ever. With over 5 thousand women entering menopause daily, this book is a must for every home health library.

Foreword Magazine - Linda Wilson

"I never exercised, ate the recommended high carbohydrate diet espoused by the AMA, ADA and fashionable fitness magazines and relied upon my great genes to get me through life. And all was well until I turned 40." So begins Larrian Gillespie's story of her successful search for the ideal diet/exercise program for herself and subsequently for all women between the ages of 40 and 60.Larrian Gillespie, doctor, author and popular television guest has provided excellent information about a subject that affects nearly half of the female population: menopause. Gillespie shares her scientific and medical knowledge about menopause and couches important information about fat distribution, hormonal balance and dietary imperatives in the personal story of her own frustrations as a woman entering menopause. The Menopause Diet includes easy to understand descriptions of the difficulties women face as their bodies' needs change in a culture that shouts confusing messages about diet, beauty, aging and disease. Gillespie details the correct balance for food intake (45% low glycemic index carbohydrates,35% protein and 25% fat), the way to choose an adequate and interesting physical activity program and then includes a great starter recipe book to help stir up the creativity of the dieter. This diet can prevent heart disease, cancer and diabetes and turn the fat burners on. Simple to understand and implement, The Menopause Diet will bring health and fitness within reach of all women and will bring successful weight loss to those who have never before lost weight on other diet programs.
