The Hormone Reset Diet

Heal Your Metabolism to Lose Up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days

By: Sara Szal Gottfried

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

The Harvard-educated physician and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure shows you how to grow new receptors for your seven metabolic hormones, making you lose weight and feel great fast!

When it comes to weight loss, most people don’t think about hormones. But when you develop resistance to your seven major metabolic hormones—cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone, leptin, insulin, and estrogen—your body adjusts by increasingly raising your hormone levels and ultimately slowing down your metabolism. And a slower metabolism leads to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. The solution, Dr. Sara Gottfried contends, is to reset the efficiency of your hormones by repairing and growing new hormone receptors.

Based on leading scientific research, The Hormone Reset Diet is her proven weight loss and energy program to reverse hormone resistance in just three weeks. It will help you:

• Boost your metabolism and calorie burning by growing new and fresh thyroid receptors;
• Increase your weight loss by re-balancing estrogen and progesterone receptors;
• Reverse your aging by resetting glucocorticoid receptors (for better processing cortisol).

For the last twenty years, this Harvard-MIT educated physician has helped thousands of women address the root hormonal causes of what bothers them most: excess weight, lack of energy, aging, and illness. Going beyond her bestselling The Hormone Cure, this program is the next generation of her deep understanding of hormonal optimization for rapid weight loss.

More of what we should, less of what we shouldn't.

I found the book to be very focused on what we should not do, and did not give enough guidance about what we should do and especially what we should eat. The biggest challenge for me in overhauling my diet and helping my hormones is knowing what to plan for each individual meal. Those may be in the enhancements, but they were not in the audio.

Diet

It is a good starter diet but can not be maintained for proper long term eating because it is very expensive to buy that many vegetables every week. I did lose 8 pounds. I felt very tired not getting my caffeine fix everyday so I went back to drinking at least one cup daily.

Don't buy on audible

Fantastic Book

Loved this book it was narrated very well and I enjoyed the content. I am going to order it in paperback so that I can highlight some of the things she recommended. Chalked full of information.

Mispronunciation

Mispronunciation of medical terms ruined this book for me; it made me cringe and I had to stop listening. Normally I give one star if I cannot finish, but I think this information is important and presented in user-friendly way. Directors need to look up words that are not in their daily vocabulary so they can appropriately coach the voice performer.

I do not think this reset is too hard. As far as I got, it seems about the same reboot of Standard American Diet as other resets. Compared to other resets, this one seems to have elimination diet built in.

If you want to cook the same food for an entire family, you’re definitely going to get push back. It’s only 28 days she’s talking about. I think the difficult thing is going to be maintaining the changes long term. Basically, the rec seems to be eat 1# veggies every day & don’t eat processed food. Not eating processed food in America is very hard. Most of the food in grocery stores is processed. Food on TV advertised is processed. A lot of shortcut food is processed. I think a lot of us have to change our relationship with food.
