Product Description
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

 Crack the Fat Loss Code November 21, 2009
J. Bennett (SE Arizona)
This is the first in a series of two books that helped me to make an informed decision about changing my lifestyle.
Best Diet Book I've Ever Read! November 16, 2009
Angie on a Diet (Stillwater, MN)
I have tried every diet and read many books and articles about dieting. This book is working for me because it tells you specifically what to do and how to eat to lose weight but more importantly, it gives you the scientific information as to why our bodies fight losing weight. This book makes total sense to me and I would recommend it to anyone out there who isn't looking for gimmicks but want the cold, hard facts about dieting!
This is a guide that has worked for several of my clients. November 11, 2009
Fred C. Mcclanahan (Shreveport, LA United States)
As a personal trainer, I have read dozens of "diet" books and seen the successes - and more often - failures of all of them. Several of my clients began using this guide and find that it works into their lifestyle and they haven't felt deprived of foods they like. I've purchased copies for others to try and will update this review as results come in.
All "diet" plans can be tedious to follow and this one is no exception. If you won't stay with it for at least six months, you will waste your time and money. Once you start cheating, you're done for!
In my experience, the best way to insure success is by keeping a journal. A pad of paper in your pocket is all it takes and you MUST write down everything you put in your mouth. As they say, if you bite it - write it. The idea is to make you think as you're making the decision - so writing it down later doesn't help. I tell clients to write it down before they put it in their mouth - even one chip! Good luck.
 New York Times Bestseller? November 11, 2009
Mavrodaphne (CT)
I read the book from cover to cover and thought it was unneccesarily complicated even in the beginning. I feel that the author could have made it more user friendly with regard to chapter and menu organization. I am sure that it makes sense in her mind but for the reader who wants a lifestlye change; simplicity is best.
I decided to start the first week because a menu was provided for all seven days. No thinking. Then when I started to shop for Week Two I realized after alot of page turning that the menu provided for Week Two is really for Week Three. If the premise of this diet is to follow Macro patterning you have to follow the pattern correctly.
I wrote the author about the confusion. What to start next? CC BB etc,. BBCC, Got a prompt email saying that my request would be answered but over forty-eight hours later, and still no reply or support.
It's not the end of the world but it's annoying and could have been provided. The reader has to make sure, really sure that they read the heading so they are not doing planner B, C or D in other cycles. It could easily happen.
I will say the recipes provided are tasty. Not sure if I will continue at this point? If I do continue through week eight I will write again to revise my review.
Excellent Information November 10, 2009
J. Delgado (Beautiful Oregon)
Like so many I've been on this diet and that diet. Getting really good information that is usable and friendly to the frustrated dieter is always a tough deal. Wendy knows, Wendy understands the dilemma. Read her first one, "Crack..." and then "Conquer..." The diet, the "lifestyle" is pretty easy to do when you understand what happens with what you eat and how your body uses and stores what you eat. I personally realized that what I put in my mouth is very important if I want to be around for and with my grand kids. What's your goal and what's your purpose for losing weight? Decide and then take your life more seriously. Good Luck!
