Publisher's summary

In this revolutionary, New York Times best-selling book, cutting-edge nutrition expert Lyn-Genet Recitas reveals the surprising truth behind what actually makes people pack on the pounds. Carbs and portion sizes, it turns out, are not the problem. Foods that are revered by traditional weight loss programs, such as turkey, eggs, cauliflower, beans, and tomatoes, may be healthy in a vacuum, but when combined with each person's unique chemistry, they can cause a toxic reaction that triggers weight gain, premature aging, inflammation, and a host of health problems including constipation, migraines, joint pain, and depression.

Now this groundbreaking 20-day program helps readers finally unlock the mystery behind what does and does not work for their individual body. With detailed meal plans, recipes, and effective, personalized advice, you will discover how to:

• Lose a half a pound a day while enjoying generous servings of foods you love
• Identify your hidden trigger foods that are causing weight gain and inflammation, among other symptoms
• Build a personalized healthy foods list that promotes rapid weight loss
• Avoid feeling bloated, tired, or unhealthy again!
• Feel better, look better, and be empowered by the knowledge of what truly works best for your body!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

" The Plan is not a diet. It is a way of changing how you eat--for life. And that is why it works. And as promised, I didn't have to give up baking: I still eat sweets!" (Lesley Jane Seymour, Editor in Chief, More Magazine)

Interesting

I'm intrigued by this theory that food is the source of inflammation. I enjoyed the real life testimonials woven throughout.

Interesting take on inflammatory foods

I have listened to the entire Audible version and downloaded the pdf files for the recipes.
A few pdfs printed sideways, so that should be corrected in the print format.
I’d love to give this plan a try, but I am not sure what to do with the reactive food on the first 3 days/week. What is safe to eat if I know the first three days are not going to agree with me?
I already know the safe foods will trigger nerve pain w/Fibromyalgia and that is not addressed here. High copper foods (all nuts and seeds, spinach, kale, chickpeas, sweet potatoes, etc) create toxicity in my body, and flaxseeds are one of the absolute worst foods for me. So what is the alternative? I ‘d like to believe following The Plan will bring the results she speaks of, so I will see if I can do the 20 days, but I don’t remember if she addressed what to eat if you react to the safe foods.

Very informative

Love how explained the importance of food and which foods are harmful inflammatory and how to heal your body

Where are the PDFs?

Although I am looking forward to starting this plan, where are the PDFs that go with this audiobook??? Good narration and was a fast read. I guess I will have to purchase the real book to get what I need. otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

Excellent

This book is exactly what I’ve been searching for. If you truly want to see how your body responds to food & be freed from yo yo dieting & finally see what food are perfect for you, this is the book! She took a complex subject & simplified it.
