About 15 years ago my friend found an article in a health magazine about Dr. Abravanel's Body Type Diet. I lost my pregnancy weight plus 10 pounds at that time. I felt great and wrote down the information but the weight crept back on over the years as life brought me stress with a teenager and new marriage, new job and two moves. I had given away the original magazine article but asked my friend if she had it. She replied that she had bought the book! I was so excited to get it because as I lost weight from the old article's information, I worried what I would do to maintain my ideal and healthy weight after I reached my goal. The book has an excellent eating maintainance plan that looks very good. Now I'm interested in the exercise part of the new 1999 edition because I noticed the lack of that information in the first book. I have always exercised and want to firm up and increase muscle tone for my maintainance program and I'm interested in what he has researched and has to say about my body type. I'm also interested in any menopausal information he may have about weight maintainance and use of soy products in the diet instead of dairy because of estrogen loss. The book answered all of my needs in the 80's and I look forward to Dr. Abravanel's guidance with his new edition in 1999 and the second half of my life!

Well, I rolled my eyes when my wife came home with this book. Thyroids and adrenals .. right! I've spent the last 20 years packing on 30 excess lbs, so I was ready to try it. It really didn't take much will power. I was able to eat plenty of things I like and was already eating. Never went hungry, but had to get used to eating more regularly. I did have to cut out caffeine, sugars and starchs, and highly refined grains. More steak and eggs than I've had in years. The diet they recommend for you will depend on your particular body type and requirements. I was really amazed! The fat came off really fast, and I got my metabolism back. I dropped to about 5 lbs below my target college years weight and leveled off. Even cheating all through the holidays (can't offend the folks that made all those cheesecakes and pies), I've stayed within a 4 lb range, and it came back off in a few days. I'm really impressed with this plan. I'm copying this web page to hand out to all the people who keep asking what happened.

My husband followed Dr. Abravanel's Body Type Diet and Lifetime Nutrition Plan, and it had unbelievable results.

Each body type's plan is well described, and you see results very soon after you begin following the plan. After a while, your body gets balanced, and the weight comes off almost automatically, without any effort.

After about 6 weeks on the plan, my husband was losing about 1 pound a day. The plan is not hard, and you dont starve.

If you tried lots of diets, without results, give this plan a try. You will be amazed!
