Most women who are dieting do not realize that PMS and weight gain are
connected--and that to really lose weight, increase energy, and feel
better they need to consider their monthly cycle. Now The 28 Days
Lighter Diet teaches women how to embrace their monthly cycle and follow
its guidance so that they know when to push themselves, when to treat
themselves to some well-earned rest, and how to keep their hormones in
balance. It explains what to do during every week of the month to shed
excess weight, ease PMS, and do it by working with your body instead of
beating it into submission. The female body changes from week to week,
and traditional diet and workout programs never acknowledge this
phenomenon. This easy-to-follow 28-day plan is an innovative combination
of modern research and ancient traditions. It outlines a core program of
dietary suggestions, fitness guidelines, specific exercises, and
lifestyle recommendations for each of the phases of the menstrual cycle
and how to take care of yourself throughout the month.
