"Finally...a diet that focuses not on fat, protein or even carbs...but rather the 'Fourth Macronutrient'"
-Woman's World
The Hershberg Diet is the diet to end all diets, a diet that will reveal the key to weight loss forever is the "fourth macronutrient." This is not a fad diet; it is a weight loss system with a scientific foundation.
Because most people, physicians, nutritionists, and dieticians included, only recognize three macronutrients?protein, carbohydrates, and fat?the revolutionary discovery of the "fourth macronutrient" will change the way that readers view food, eating, and nutritional labels forever.
In addition to the "fourth macronutrient," readers will learn to eat "hotty" foods that do not spike blood sugar and insulin levels. This will help to keep one's metabolism elevated while the proper hormonal environment for weight loss is created. The diet provides readers with an easy-to-follow four-phase plan, complete with recipes, menu plans, and various tips to help readers translate the knowledge into an efficient, customizable and step-by-step, error-proof strategy for shedding pounds. And, there is no hunger required: by eating foods high in the "fourth macronutrient," readers can eat more food than they are used to and still lose weight.
Readers will also learn which foods to eat to help prevent certain medical ailments. For example, oats and barley to reduce LDL cholesterol, asparagus to attack water retention/bloating, tomatoes to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, and walnuts and salmon to reduce inflammation and prevent cardiovascular disease.
