Heal Heartburn and Lose Weight, Naturally
If you suffer from acid reflux, you're not alone. More than 50 million
Americans have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, and while
antacids can be effective for short-term relief, they can also cause
dangerous medical conditions if they're used for more than the
recommended fifty days at a time. Luckily, The Acid Reflux Solution
offers a simple plan to help you gradually and safely reduce--and
eventually eliminate--the need for pills while alleviating your
heartburn.
In this combination medical guide and cookbook, gastroenterologist Jorge
E. Rodriguez, MD, has teamed up with registered dietitian and food
writer Susan Wyler to present a three-step program to heal heartburn
naturally. This isn't a formal diet plan--no calorie counting
required--but you'll probably shed some pounds while following The Acid
Reflux Solution because these recipes were designed for good health. In
fact, Dr. Jorge has not only healed his own heartburn since developing
this plan, but he has also lost more than 30 pounds!
In step one you make some simple lifestyle modifications, like raising
the head of your bed, loosening your belt, and eating less but more
often. These are easily achievable goals that you can start working on
today. In step two, you start eating to avoid reflux. With 100
high-fiber, low-fat, portion-controlled recipes to choose from, this
step is the most delicious--and surprising. The list of foods that
actually trigger acid reflux is smaller than you might think, which
means you can enjoy meals that you probably thought were off limits,
like Cuban Black Bean Soup, Grass-Fed Beef and Portobello Blue
Cheese Burgers, Asian Barbecued Chicken, and even Spaghetti and
Meatballs.
In the final step, you reduce the dosage and frequency of the
medications you were taking to control your heartburn because you won't
need them anymore. The Acid Reflux Solution combines the latest
medical research with reflux-friendly recipes to help you feel great,
lose weight, and live heartburn free.
