The Core Balance Diet: 4 Weeks to Boost Your Metabolism and Lose Weight for Good
Is your weight gain making you miserable? Have you noticed that you’re packing on pounds in unpleasant new places? Or is the scaleâand the way you feel about yourselfâ just stuck, no matter how much you diet and exercise? If you’ve struggled without success to lose weight and keep it off, there’s always a reason, andâsurprise!âit probably has little to do with how hard you’re trying or how many calories you’re counting. Now a pioneering practitioner of women’s health care shows why willpower doesn’t work in the long run and, finally, gives you a solution that does.
Marcelle Pick, co-founder of Women to Womenâone of the first clinics in the country devoted to providing health care for women by womenâdraws upon decades of experience, her patients’ and her own, to solve the mystery of the stubborn weight gain. Explaining the science of the body with uncommon clarity, she describes the complex web of connectionsâbetween organs and systems, hormones and other biochemicalsâthat keep your physiology in balance and your metabolism functioning well. Because when it isn’t, your body reacts by packing on protection in the form of pounds that won’t budge, an excess that can be so harmful and intractable that Pick has named it “toxic weight.” Bringing your body back into Core Balance is the only way to heal your metabolism, soothe your body, and lose the weight for good.
The Core Balance Diet is a breakthrough plan designed to restore your body’s equilibrium and return you to a healthy, sustainable weight. With her engaging style, Pick explains six common biochemical imbalancesâdigestive, hormonal, adrenal, neurotransmitter, inflammation, and detoxificationâand helps you determine which is affecting you most. In the first two weeks, she teaches the simple lifestyle changes and smart nutrition choices that will show you how to tune into your body and identify your fundamental obstacles to weight loss. Then Pick guides you through a customized two-week program geared to restoring your Core Balance and shedding those toxic pounds once and for all. Far from depriving yourself on this program, you’ll eatâoften and wellâenjoying delicious recipes made from whole foods that give your body the support it needs to heal. At the same time, you’ll start to explore underlying issues and emotional patterns that may be getting in your way, as Pick connects self-care with self-knowledge to show you the way to lasting wellness.
By picking up this book, you’re about to toss out the old way of thinking about yourself and your weight. The Core Balance Diet heralds a whole new chapter in weight loss, proving how easy it is to work with your body and the right foodsânot against themâto rid yourself of weight and unhealthy habits for good. Within a month, you’ll be on your way to a lean, fit, and balanced body that is ready to support youâand look greatâfor the rest of your life.

5 Stars Excellent book
Have not finished reading the Core Balance Diet book yet, but I am very impressed with the science behind the plan. I feel better eating on the program, and my blood sugars are more stable.
5 Stars The Core Balance Diet
This is the best diet book ever. It is loaded with helpful information that gets to the root of your weight loss problems. It takes time to really follow all the suggestions that pertained to me, but it was well worth the time and effort. At 55 I am finally freed from food cravings, and have never felt better.
3 Stars Common Sense Goes a Long Way
Up front I will say, I am a very conscientious eater, I do a lot of research on healthy eating, as well as healthy lifestyles, but I don’t think I am so far advanced above those who will probably choose to buy this book. That being said, I am sooooooo sick of common sense diets which really require no imagination. Every diet book gives you the same sensible diet, lean protein for breakfast with whole grains and fruit, a salad for lunch with a lean protein, some sort of steamed protein for dinner along with some boring steamed veges and whole grain on the side. Lets not forget the exciting snacks in between, protein like nuts or cheese and fruit or raw carrots. How interesting is that? Not very.
I could have written the diet portion of this book. Every condition mentioned has almost the exact same food plan. Don’t buy this book if you are looking for a weight loss plan that is different from anyone else’s plan you will be sadly disappointed. Some of the advice is really great, but the problem is, in order to get any of the recommended supplements you have to go to [..](a doctors office online really) and get on their vitamin plan. The great thing about that is you can try them for 60 days free. What a marketing gimic that is.
Here’s my advice to those thinking they are discovering some fountain of knowledge here, eat smart, exercise and try to take care of your spirit. Oh and slow down and smell the roses. Get one of Rosemary Gladstar’s or Susun Weed’s books on herbs to help you deal with the health conditions in this book. These ladies are fountains of knowledge about women’s issues. Or just read something that makes you happy, leave this book for those who have no idea what so ever how to care for their health. I gave this three stars for those persons.
5 Stars Natural Approach to Nutrition
As a Certified Nutritionist I like to buy nutrition books and keep on top of what is out there and currently being marketed. This book leads you down the path to a healthful way of living. I keep telling my clients that there are no tricks or gommicks, you just need to eat whole/healthful foods and move your body. This book shows you how to do that…good job!
5 Stars Thanks Women to Women
I really enjoyed this book. I had been checking out the womentowomen.com website for a few months before the book was available. From there I believed that this would be a healthier complete lifestyle approach opposed to a typical “diet” book approach; and it is. They do advertise their vitamin/supplement plans, but they also tell you what they recommend so that you can purchase the items elsewhere if you’d like. I also like that most of the recipes in the book are simple, yet delicious.
