Overview

The New York Times Bestseller!

LOSE UP TO 25 POUNDS IN 8 WEEKS AND KEEP IT OFF!

The human body evolved to resist starvation by holding on to fat. No wonder it's so difficult to lose weight! Now a revolutionary lifestyle plan finally cracks the code for efficient fat loss. Developed by leading nutrition specialist Wendy Chant, the plan is scientifically designed to help you "outsmart" your body's natural cycles for storing and burning calories.

Crack the Fat Loss Code teaches you how to boost your metabolism through "macro-patterning"—a simple routine of alternating carb-up, carb-down, and baseline days. There are even built-in cheat days, so you can enjoy the foods you love. Once you get your eating habits on schedule, you'll find that you can lose weight . . . for good.

In just eight short weeks, you'll be able to:

REPROGRAM YOUR BODY—to burn the fat and keep it off.
FEEL HEALTHY, NOT HUNGRY—with limitless food options.
CONQUER THAT DIET PLATEAU—once and for all.

"Crack the Fat-Loss Code brings you the most sensible solution to permanent weight management I have seen."
—Frederick C. Hatfield, Ph.D., bestselling author of Bodybuilding: A Scientific Approach, Hardcore Bodybuilding, and Ultimate Sports Nutrition

Tried everything...this one worked

52 years old and locked in permanent plateau until I read this book. I have lost 15 pounds on the first 6 weeks. This plan WORKS! My husband started using the recommendations to adjust his diet and lost 10 pounds without doing the full plan. If you read this book and the book recommended below.

Will it last?

What I liked about this book:

- The introductory chapter about the food types (carbs, fats, proteins) and how they are used in our bodies
- The eight weeks plan to "Crack the Fat-Loss Code" - this thing actually works.
- Sample Meal Plans
- The idea of not having any "disallowed" foods

What I did not like about this book:

- The program seems to be rather restrictive and probably difficult to follow in the long run. And this is the problem with most diets programs.

So although the program seems to work for me at the moment I am not sure about how long it will last. I think that the readers of "Crack the Fat-Loss Code" will benefit from "Can We Live 150 Years -- the Body Maintenance Manual" - a great self-help guide to long and healthy living with a great emphasis on proper nutrition and long term lifestyle change.

This is a plan that REALLY WORKS in so many ways -weight loss, fat loss, muscle building, metabolism increase, improved cholesterol, improved blood pressure, reduced hot flashes, and best of all - improved self image! At least, all of these wonderful changes occurred when I followed this plan. Other positive things about this book: it is totally doable from your kitchen, the grocery store, restaurants and vacations your whole family can benefit (no preparing second meals) and physically you will feel wonderful. Like all regime changes, there will be some discipline involved but you should never feel hungry and soon you lose your sugar and other unhealthy cravings. For the price of the book, you can't lose (except fat and weight!).

Another great tool for the tool box! Pick this up!

I begin to sound repetitive to my fitness clients, and on my reviews. "This book has some great points" or something like that. Well, "Crack the Fat Loss Code" is no different. I think that this book is organized very well, explains foods and presents a sound diet format. All of these things CAN help the reader (who is properly internally motivated) to succeed in his/her dieting attempts. So, while I am not entirely finished reading this, I am already recommending it and lining up clients to whom I will loan the book. I am highlighting the parts that I feel my personal training (and nutritional consults) should specifically focus on.
BUT, remember, unless you are properly, positively, internally motivated, this book or any other diet book will not get you that slim body that you want. Pick up: BUILD YOUR MIND, YOUR BODY WILL FOLLOW. It is a quick read, with a powerful message. Every one of my clients gets this book when they sign up with me! It keeps them coming back---and happy!

It really works!

I started reading and implemented it into the way that I ate. I stuck to it religiously for several weeks and lost weight. I continue to stick pretty close and continue to lose weight. More weight comes off in the very beginning because of the cutting of carbs so heavily. But, I feel that the weight loss is more permanent because of the steadiness rather than quickness.

Unlocking the Code!

This book sat on my shelf for months. I tried to follow the diet when I first got it, but gave up. I'd been through so many diets I think I wanted something more in the pages. After losing a few pounds I gave up and gained even more weight...sound familiar?

I finally had to face the hard facts that my weight wasn't so much about the food as it was much emotions. Thankfully, a friend had bought me a book that changed the way I looked at myself and turned my self-esteem issues around. Once I got a few things figured out, I could finally more beyond the yo-yo dieting. If you can't love yourself, how do you expect to keep up the energy and drive to be successful? Not all of us have a personal trainer looking over us 24/7 to push and motivate like the Biggest Loser contestants. Find that drive within yourself and want the success for yourself and you can overcome the barriers within yourself.

Happy ending...about a month and a half ago I picked up this book again and have had now problem following the diet. The advice in here is pretty straight forward. I've lost quite a few pounds and I think I'm ready to be over this diet lifestyle for good and start just enjoying a well balanced, healthy life!

It works...

Wendy Chant hits it right on the nose with her book, Crack the Fat Loss Code. The program is simple and the food preparation can be as varied or as repetative as YOU choose. It is your program, the meal plans are a guideline. Make it work for your life. That is the whole purpose. I have been following the program for 12 weeks and have lost 20 pounds and more than 14 inches.

Excellent Source for Weight Maintenance

I found this book very knowledgeable on why traditional dieting does not work. I have actually lost weight in just using the principal of what the author teaches!

A high rating for the author. This is highly inspiring and motivating for someone like me in the knowledge of maintaining a lifestyle of what to eat for weight control!
