Publisher Description
In The Schwarzbein Principle, which has sold more than 250,000 copies, Dr. Diana Schwarzbein laid out her revolutionary secret to long-term health and weight control: balance your metabolism to re-energize your immune system. Her optimal health program included steps to:
• Balance a low-carb/low-fat diet
• Reduce stress through calming exercises
• Taper off chemical dependency to tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine
• Eliminate cardio exercise in favor of resistance training and stretching
Now, for the first time, Dr. Schwarzbein gives readers what they have been asking for: week-by-week steps they can use to implement this system into their lives. The pay-off for making the switch? A renewed metabolic system that creates long-term health, vitality, energy, slower aging, and the ideal body. While other diet programs promise little more than a temporary crash weight loss regimen, Dr. Schwarzbein’s plan offers something much better: a permanent body change and an end to yo-yo dieting.
"For any of you who have read any of my books on Somersizing, you know what an important role Dr. Schwarzbein plays in my life. She is an awesome doctor."

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestselling endocrinologist Schwarzbein (The Schwarzbein Principle; The Schwarzbein Principle II: The Transition) expands on familiar topics in her third book touting her health and weight-loss plan. Schwarzbein's philosophy is that good health should precede weight loss, which is not the goal but the natural outcome of achieving a healthy metabolic system and body. While we can't control genetic aging, Schwarzbein says, we can control metabolism. To do so, she suggests readers follow her five-step program, which prescribes healthy eating, stress management, tapering off such toxic chemicals as nicotine and alcohol, cross-training exercises and hormone replacement therapy for those who need it. While many of Schwarzbein's recommendations aren't groundbreaking (e.g., eat whole grains and fresh vegetables), some readers may be encouraged by her insistence on eating good fats and carbs ("eating too few carbs breaks you down"), not skipping meals, not over-exercising and getting plenty of rest. Schwarzbein opts for resistance training and stretching, claiming that "overdoing" cardiovascular or stimulating exercises will damage the heart and metabolism (like eating too few carbs, it also "breaks you down"). Schwarzbein offers a moderate, balanced approach that may actually result in weight gain before weight loss kicks in. Her moderate plan is almost revolutionary in these exaggerated dieting times.
