ABOUT THE BOOK
Bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried shares a new, female-friendly keto diet that addresses women’s unique hormonal needs, so readers can shed pounds and maintain the loss more easily.
It’s no surprise that most diet plans don’t work for women—most health studies are based on men instead of women, so women have no choice but to follow plans that were created by and for men. The trouble is: women’s bodies don’t work the same way. Popular programs can actually make it harder for women to lose weight, because they can wreak havoc on a woman’s complex and delicate hormonal system.
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried has spent her career demystifying hormones and helping patients improve their health with personalized medicine. In Women, Food, and Hormones, she presents the Gottfried Protocol, a science-based, road-tested plan designed to reset and balance your hormones and accelerate fat loss. Featuring a female-friendly fasting protocol and ketogenic diet that’s tailor-made for women, the Gottfried Protocol is designed to:
- Work with, not against, women’s hormones—unlike other keto plans.
- Improve detoxification and blood sugar levels while decreasing stress, hunger, and cravings.
- Target belly fat and reduce inflammation.
- Increase levels of key anti-aging hormones.
Complete with essential troubleshooting tips and more than 50 delicious and filling recipes, Women, Food, and Hormones is your all-in-one-guide to hormonal balance and a healthy new you.
MY THOUGHTS
Growing up it was just my mother and I. I was exposed to her way of eating the whole time I lived at home. She ate no sugar and was a vegan. I knew all about healthy eating and felt the same way about it as my kids do now, most of it was yucky stuff I wouldn’t dare eat or even try.
As I’ve been out of my childhood home now for quite a few years what she ate makes sense. And she always looked much younger than her years.
Since moving out I’ve incorporated many of her healthy eating habits and foods that I at one time I thought were yuck for the most part are not.
I have my slip up moments where I do enjoy eating sugar, dang it’s so hard to give up. I’ll do without and then something looks so good that I’ll let temptation win.
Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified gynecologist and physician-scientist. She knows women’s bodies inside and out and knows most diets are not one size fits all and most are designed with men in mind.
Not so in this book. She gives us the formula to unlock weight loss, get our hormones balanced again and feel and look better than we have in years.
It’s so refreshing to see a doctor whose first line of defense is not traditional medicine but through natural food diet. A plant-based diet at that. I am very impressed with her research and information and will be referencing this book many times.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
