Product Description Why is it that even though we might maintain our high school weight, few of us maintain our high school belt size?
In your twenties and thirties, the layers of fat on top of your abs were the problem–but once you reach middle-age, the enemy shifts. The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle is the first book to deal specifically with the issues we face in the next stage of life, providing a plan for eliminating the unhealthy fat that accumulates around the organs–visceral fat–that is the true cause of the middle-aged bulge.
The good news is that with the right diet, visceral fat can be quickly reduced and eliminated, enhancing both your looks and your health. Even after twenty years researching and refining the science of weight loss and management, bestselling authors Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades fell victim to the middle-aged middle themselves. Although otherwise fit and healthy, both lost the flat belly that signals youth. In The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle, they share the simple dietary program they created to shed the weight.
Discover: • How eating saturated fat can actively trim your middle • Why the “eat less, exercise more” prescription fails–and what to do about it • Why “inner” and “outer” tube fat measurements are important to your health • How to fight the fat stored inside your liver that leads to hard-to-lose middle-body flab
With The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle the doctor duo that brought you to the low-carb lifestyle shows you how to regain in midlife the figure of sleek, flat-bellied youth.
It Definitely Works!January 21, 2010 L. Fox(Ontario, Canada) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I've been following the diet in this book for almost 4 weeks and am absolutely amazed at the results. Just to clarify where I started - at 129 lb. but with a 31.5 inch waist - I'm 5'4" and 59 years old (female). I was not interested in losing any weight particularly, just the 'spare tire'/'muffin top' or whatever else you want to call the unappealing impenetrable flesh that seems to gather around the middle. Within the first 10 days I had dropped down to 124 lb. but more importantly - lost 2.5" off my waist that I've been trying to lose for about 10 years. My own plan will be to go back and do the plan again from the beginning as they recommend at this point and to continue on this program until I have lost the next few inches. There are many negative comments about the technical aspects of the book - written by many people that have been studying this type of nutrition intensively - as have I. And I must disagree with all the complaints. This book tells you what to do, what to eat and why. There is sufficient explanation to work the plan and get yourself on track to the body you remember. Best of health to all of you!
It works!January 4, 2010 Fussy Shopper(New York City) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
My husband and I went on this diet; we are both in our 50s. He's in good shape, but wanted the flat belly of his twenties. I wanted to lose the 10-20 pounds I'd gained over the decades. He likes protein; I love carbs. Yet both of us succeeded, and amazingly it came right off our waists.
Around day five, both of us were finding it really difficult to handle the restrictions. But we hung in there together, turned the corner a day or so later, and found our cravings had subsided. Once that happens, it is really easy to stay on because your weight drops and you look great. We both lost 8 lbs in the first 2-3 weeks. You don't just lose weight; you lose it in places that are all too visible. Three months later, we are both enjoying eating this way. For the first time in decades I weigh less than I weighed when I became pregnant with my son 19 years ago. This is a great diet -- we are both committed for the long term.
Like many of the other reviewers, I have followed the Eades' work for years. I've appreciated their scientific explanations of how things work in the body and their recommendations of supplements and other guidance on how to eat healthfully and lose weight. But sometimes you just feel, "tell me what to do and I will do it." All those reviewers quibbling over the book and saying they expected more avoided trying the diet. My advice is to try it yourself -- because it works!
6-week Cure is Working for MeOctober 3, 2009 P. L. Crawford(Southern California) 9 out of 11 found this review helpful
I've been a low-carber on and off since the 70s, and I am very familiar with the mechanics of the low-carb lifestyle. I bought this book out of sheer desperation, because a bad summer vacation and hormone replacement therapy packed twenty pounds of fat back on my carcass. After a month on this program, I'm down six pounds and 6 1/2 inches. I'm a believer. I'm not hungry, I have energy, and I'm ecstatic with the results. Anyone who is "of that certain age," aka "over 50 female," will understand just how terribly difficult it can be to lose weight. This works for me.
It works on a 68 year oldFebruary 12, 2010 brauh 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It works for my wife and me. I have been on a grain free diet for 20 years and have kept my weight down over the years. When my wife started the 6 week cure, I also started. It is surprising easy and simple. In 6 weeks I have lost 2.5 inches in my waist and 8 lbs of fat. My wife has done even better.
I feel better and sleep like a baby. Getting off of caffeine, restricting carbs, and supplementing with Whey Protein shakes has put me in touch with my true hunger. This has been an amazing experience for me. I probably have 100 books on diets, recipes, etc. and the 6 week cure is the best of the lot.
Cheers to Drs Eades!
Great for the intended purposeNovember 1, 2009 Ehleighen(Twin Cities, MN) 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
There are lots of negative reviews on this book - those are from morons that didn't understand the point of this book. If you want a long-term eating plan to lose weight and be healthy, then stick with Protein Power or Atkins. However if you've got a special event coming up that you want to lose weight FAST, then this is for you - that was the whole purpose of this book. I lost 8 pounds and one inch off the waist in the first week, can't wait to see what the next 5 weeks brings!
