Anti-Aging Diet - Weight-Loss Program

Edita Kaye approached her 50th birthday with dismay. She had tried every diet (many twice), and couldn't shake herself down from a size 16 ("on a good day and a lousy scale"). Obsessed with extra pounds, wrinkles and jowls, Kaye decided to give up on weight loss and use her background as a medical reporter to investigate anti-aging techniques.

She discovered the "fountain of youth": antioxidants. Amazingly, this secret to staying youthful also resulted in weight loss. In one year Kaye lost 20 pounds and "10 years" off her appearance. Her magic formula anti-aging diet is actually a sensible, low-fat eating plan high in the antioxidant nutrients--vitamins E and C, beta-carotene, and calcium.

Kaye's experience and this-is-your-girlfriend-telling-you style are motivating and meant to inspire you to make a change. She tells her personal story and discusses anti aging diet theories in a jaunty style. Free radicals are like a "stag line at the cellular prom"; antioxidants are the "cellular cops...a free radical swat team." The book explains the benefits and sources of each of the antioxidant nutrients, then presents an anti-aging diet consisting of three months of antioxidant-rich menus and 100 easy recipes.  --Joan Price

Using breakthroughs in longevity research as well as new advances in accelerating weight loss, Edita Kaye explains how to burn away unhealthy fat while recovering skin tone, strength, and vibrant energy. This anti-aging diet has no calories or fat programs or fat grams to count, just a step-by-step program that includes a daily meal plan, supplements, and exercise that can help anyone lose 20 pounds and 10 biological years in only three months! A renowned medical journalist presents an easy-to-follow program for losing weight and turning back ones biological clock.

Reader Comment - It worked for me.

In April of 98' I sat in the dentist office, 44 years old, 50 pounds overweight and ready to have my teeth all pulled.  I had given up on ever looking good again.  While waiting, I picked up the Lady's Home Journal and read Edita's Fountain of Youth Plan.  

At that point I decided to turn things around. I did not have my teeth pulled. Instead I had them all fixed.  Then I went straight to buy the foods I needed to start the plan.  I have been on it for over a year now.  I have lost 50 lbs and I feel great.  

Then someone told me Edita had a book out too.  I could not wait to get it. I found I could have written the first two pages where she tells of how she felt before the diet and about her live long struggle with her weight.  I had stayed on the 7 day plan from the magazine not altering it a bit, but now the book gives me a more comprehensive extended version and more recipes.  I love it.  I am a true believer.  I recommend it to everyone who is ready and willing to make the lifestyle change it requires.

Reader comment - lost weight, feel great!

This is an easy to follow, easy to stay on antiaging diet.  I lost 15 pounds in about 2 months and feel more energetic and just generally healthier.  I never feel hungry.  I plan to stay on this "diet" for the rest of my life.  I like it so well, I recommend it highly, and I have bought extra copies of the book for family members.
