Publisher's summary

Does it feel as if you're fighting your body to lose even one pound or just to maintain your current weight? Respected health and wellness expert and best-selling author Jillian Michaels has been there, too. So she consulted top experts in the field of metabolism and discovered that she d inadvertently been abusing her endocrine system for years. After fixing her own metabolism, she decided to share what she learned by devising this simple, 3-phase plan that engages all the weight-loss hormones (including the friendly HGH, testosterone, DHEA; and the not-so-friendly: insulin, cortisol, and excess estrogen).

In Master Your Metabolism, discover how to:

• REMOVE anti-nutrients from your diet
• RESTORE foods that speak directly to fat-burning genes
• REBALANCE energy and your hormones for effortless weight loss

Michaels offers a wealth of information throughout, including: shopping lists and online shopping resources, hormone-trigger food charts, how to eat power nutrient foods on a budget, smart strategies for eating out, quick and easy recipes, as well as mini-programs for addressing PMS, andropause, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, and menopause.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great info

I loved Jillian on biggest loser and loved content in this book. I love how she says we n Ed to eat but put some parameters on it that will help. Great science behind why. Thank you👍

Mind Blowing...

What she says is true. The corporate world has taken over the food industry and gives us crap so that they can profit from it. She says a million reasons why you should stop taking processed foods. Natural and organic food is the only way you can pocket the money yourself instead of giving it to food and medical industries.

I am from India and found it extremely useful though the topics are focused to the US audience. Also the author thinks that only fat people are gonna hear this book. I am perfectly healthy and I read this one and now I know how to be healthier.

Could be her Magnum Opus

As Jillian says, this is everything she has learned up to this point. This information is not speculative as many diet and exercise guides are. Jillian tells in her own voice about her journey and how you can use what she learned through hard knocks of experience. This stuff makes sense. It will be tough for her to top this book. She didn't hold anything back.

Ready to jump in

this is a really good book filled with great information! this is the second time listening to it.

Lots of interesting info

I thought this book contained lots of interesting useful info that I had not come across before especially regarding the hormones leptin and ghrelin and how they can sabotage your attempts to lose weight. Also the effects of estrogen, thyroid, insulin, cortisol, DHEA, testosterone and hGH hormones on weight gain/loss.

Contrary to a prior review Audible DOES provide the reference guide that she refers to for download as I downloaded it at the same time as this audiobook on July 30, 2010. It is right in the audiobook description - look for the link. This accompanying reference guide is 66 pages long (PDF format) and has the topics less than stellar foods, remove toxins from your environment, restore lost nutrients, the master meal plan and recipe, the master meal plan shopping list, and resources. It has a 14 day meal plan and 5 breakfast recipes, 6 lunch recipes, and 5 dinner recipes. The recipes have the accompanying nutritional info. The resource section at the end is a list of websites that have useful information relating to the topics covered in the book.

Jillian brings up many good points and emphasizes eating whole foods NOT processed and organic foods if possible. You need to change the way you think about food as well and view it as fuel for your body to help you make better choices.
Fast easy listen.

Excellent Information

I am a big fan of Biggest Loser. I bought this audio book yesterday and finished it today. There is so much EXCELLENT information! I am very happy with it and know I will be listening to it again!

Fantastic as always.

Ok I admit I'm a Jillian fan but the production of the book was far beyond what is the norm. Jillian is an exceptional reader. The audio is filled with happy emotion that makes me feel she is smiling often. Great advice and excellent plan. Lots of studies to back up her words.

Excellent

Jillian Michael has written an excellent book on nutrition here. The endocrine system and how it impacts weight loss and weight gain is key. This is especially important in your 30's and beyond. Great book!

Direct and To The Point

Michaels wasted no time just getting to the point. Her approach to personal health seems like a very good one. Her ideas on food and exercise are quite sensible. The solutions she offers for food-related health issues seem very do-able.

Excellent!

Excellent book and love the direct way she speaks. Somehow it makes me listen and hear her. Still looking for the .pdf file that comes with the audio book. Loved it!
