The title of Swiss author Romy Dollé's, Fruit Belly, refers to
abdominal bloat often accompanied by digestive distress; a common result
of some basic dietary misconceptions in many fast-track, low-fat, weight
loss plans. With well-defined, easy to ingest information about how the
body actually breaks down and distributes fats and nutrients, Fruit
Belly provides a clear 4-Day Quick Fix plan to not only relieve any
existing abdominal distress, but help re-set the metabolism and reawaken
the body's natural desire for the kinds of realfood it wants and needs
to function at its best - while still losing unwanted pounds.
Fruit Belly outlines the fundamental advantages of combining a
Primal/paleo style diet with a well-rounded exercise routine for a
balanced, non-aggressive approach to weight loss that's suitable to even
the busiest modern lifestyle. The book's 4-Day Quick Fix program
provides menu guidelines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (including
between meal snacks!) and lots of quick and tasty recipes with
affordable and easily accessible ingredients. Common misconceptions
about the distribution of fat and muscle weight are also addressed, and
a photo-illustrated roster of simple core-strengthening stretches and
exercises that can be done almost anywhere is included.
Moreover, the book explains in basic terms and beautiful graphics how
the human body digests and distributes the nutrients in the foods we
eat; how our metabolism becomes quickly and chronically addicted to
sugar (which includes fruit and carbohydrates); and the bio-chemical
connection between mind and body that drives our sense of hunger and
satiety. Fruit Belly provides a comprehensive and holistic solution to
counter the crash-course weight loss approach - and puts you back on the
path to a healthful and more energizing "non-diet" diet.
