Synopsis

The antidote to fad diets: here is the original bestseller that revolutionized the way we think about food. By now, most people who have tried some of the recent fad diets have realized that those diets don't work; weight lost in the initial stages is eventually gained back, leaving the dieter at the same weight as before, or even heavier. What does work, however, is the program outlined in The T-Factor Diet, the groundbreaking book that has sold well over a million copies since initial publication. Its runaway success launched the best-selling T-Factor Fat Gram Counter and its companion guides, changing a nation's attitude toward high-fat foods. This book's scientifically proven advice remains true today: by understanding the "T-factor" or thermogenic effect, in which carbohydrate calories are burned faster than fat calories, you can lose weight quickly and safely, and keep it off--all without going hungry. Dr. Martin Katahn explains how to choose foods that naturally maximize the T-factor level, thus activating the body's hidden fat-burning potential; he also includes exercises, recipes, and meal plans.

About this title

From the Publisher

"In his new scientific diet, based on the latest metabolic research, Dr. Katahn shows you how to use the "T-factor" of complex carbohydrates to burn off most of the fattening effect of calories. What he calls the T-factor is the thermogenic effect, which burns calories of carbohydrates much faster than calories of fat.

With the T-factor Diet, you choose foods that naturally maximize your T-factor level. All calories are not the same, and Dr. Katahn shows you how to activate your body's hidden fat-burning potential to lose weight quickly and safely. Also included are excercises, easy, tantalizing recipes and meal plans, and Quick Melt--a T-factor program for accelerated weight loss.

Put the T--factor to work for you, and in as little as three weeks you can have a new body and a new outlook on life! You'll be eating just about as much as you want of foods that you like and that are good for you--and perhaps best of all, you'll never have to count calories again!
